4r3s's quitting smoking Journal

ZCarMan

Best of luck man on your ordeal. I say that with the best of intentions because there will certain times as you probably already know that the urge will hit. For me it was just after each meal and anytime I had a drink (beer) in my hand I had to have a smoke. Smoked in the service for ten years and stopped cold turkey upon my return from my last deployment overseas. It was the second attempt. Its been almost five years now. The first two weeks are the most difficult. So hang tough and good luck!

4r3s

Day 1 = success, not a fun day but I'm still here and didn't smoke a single cigarette. Had a big test last night too, went to my favorite Thai restaraunt in baltimore and I always loved smoking after eating there, something about the smoke and the burning mouth from the peppers went well together. But I pulled through it!

Day 2: Started off kind of rough, probably from all the thai food from last night lol. Peeled that patch off and holy hell that thing is made to stay in place, that **** will get your attention real quick in the morning. You can't use the patch in the same place for about a week and you can't use it on places with hair...this could be an issue after a couple days...I'm somewhat dissapointed, the patch comes with a warning about vivid dreams being a possible side effect. I never remember my dreams so I was kind of hoping for this but nope not for me apparently, oh well maybe it just takes some time. Today I have plans to do some spring cleaning around here, watch some basketball, and then I have a date. She seems sweet but we will see, just hope I'm not jumping back in the pool too soon after I just ate.

rep has been given out as much as Im allowed to for today, will continue tomorrow.
