Smoking sub-take 3-HST-take 1

[Patti]

Last night I tried turning the down the volume to be able to withstand the earphones. It worked for a while but then I was having a really hard time trying to fall asleep and ended up not using the earphones.

I had to get a blood test today and even though it’s not all that big of deal, I don’t love it, who does?! After the test, I got in my car and realized I had not smoked on the way there. I hadn’t smoked at all prior to the test, some probably because I was fasting and couldn’t have coffee…I really need to disconnect from that. It was hard to imagine that I just didn’t even think about smoking before the test, it just never came into my mind, which is weird because I’m always uncomfortable about these tests. So I made one small stoppage on my part. I decided that I’m not going to smoke in my car. Just my car though. I have the mom/grammy car pooling mobile, where as my husband has the hybrid, cruising on longer trips car. I won’t force myself yet to not smoke in his car, (he doesn’t mind because there’s no smell with an electronic cigarette), because we take longer trips in that car and I’m trying to make smaller, more realistic demands on myself. One down!
