This past Thursday, I went all day without smoking. I also slept most of the day. Folks, I was miserable. Extremely irritable and my head was just so 'off.' *sigh,* I take quite a few meds for depression and what not and I felt like I hadn't taken them for a week. It was awful. Made it through till about 3:00PM the next day and then I went and bought a couple packs.

My problem was I didn't use the damn nicotine gum that I have. I must. If I don't, I will feel crazy, as all it takes is one slight trigger to send me into a tailspin. So this was my own fault. But I tried. A measly attempt but meh.

So that's the most recent update. Next attempt will involve the gum. When - don't know. But it'll happen.

phew!

i read that as GUN...glad im wrong!

didnt think it was THAT serious

a gallant effort...the first of many battles. just dont bring the guns

LOL

Yeah. I've been trying to avoid bringing up the head part, but it's a pretty big issue when out of control. :shame: But this is just a forum and obviously, I'm pretty determined to remain somewhat anonymous lol.

Thanks for the acknowledgment. I will indeed do this. Hopefully soon.

A day and a half isn't a "measly attempt". It's a good start. They say that some people have to practice quitting, consider it a practice run for the real thing.

Thanks m0rph :o. And yeah, that makes total sense too.

I did lose my job today. But I feel good. I'm not stressing, chain smoking or anything. Actually, I seem to be smoking less for some reason. I'm just very calm and collected. I'll just let myself flow wiv it and see how things pan out.

i didnt want to derails MM's smoking appreciation thread..though this would be the best place to put this

Yeah well if I put a ribeye steak or a head of lettuce in a pot and boiled it, the results wouldn't be too appetizing either!!!











































:/

Still working your way towards defeating cigarettes (quitting sounds so negative)?

Honestly, not as hard as I was. I was laid off Friday and really haven't been responsible with anything since. Yeah - no excuses, I know.

Man you guys keep bumping this damn thread and all... :o
