Is anyone getting tired of me posting the days? :) Well, it's day #12 and I'm doing well. I've noticed that the first few hours of the day (which for me starts at 4:30 am) and the last few hours of the day are my hardest. But even at that, it's nothing too bad. I have noticed that I have slightly more energy than I used to. I'm really trying hard to quit chewing the imitation stuff and start using Jolly Ranchers or some other hard candy as a substitute. My plans are to completely quit chewing the fake stuff over the course of the next few days. After I've got that under control, all I'll have left to do is to wait....and wait.....and wait. I've heard that the more time you can put between you and tobacco, the better you feel and the less you think about it. I feel like one of the most important aspects of quitting that I've learned thus far is how important it is to constantly remind yourself of all the reasons that you're wanting to quit. Because as the days go by, you can sometimes forget things. Always have these reasons on the "front" part of your brain and never let go.

Hope everyone's doing well and I wish everyone a great weekend! I'll talk to you guys again on Monday. (Which will be day #15!) :)
