WTF?

Second day with no stogies. What the heck is going on with me? I can’t concentrate, I’ve started three projects today for no particular reason and I’m scarfing down Cinnamon Toast Crunch out of the box like a five year old. Yikes! On top of that, I’m flashing hot and cold like the M word had a hold of me (it does, but we’re not discussing that now).

The worst part is that the only place in the house where I used to smoke was my office. Guess where I am now? I look at it this way–if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere. Then again, there’s my car. ;)

To anyone else going through this quitting crap–good luck. Get some post it notes and stick them around your computer screen to remind you what the f=ck you’re supposed to be doing. Oh, now I remember what I was going to blog about. See ya back here in a few minutes.

All the best,
Dee

The Great American Northeast Bronx Smokeout

It has now been over 24 hours since I had my last cigarette. Considering that I’ve been smoking for thirty years and have never managed to quit for more than a couple of hours (like when I’m asleep), this is significant.

Anyhoo, I’m trying to make this non-smoking thing permanent. I’m trying to find a clock I can put on the side of the blog so I can count off the days. I’ve heard that if you do something for 21 days it becomes a habit. I’m hoping it works the opposite way as well. I’m hoping not to smoke for 21 days and see what happens.

If you have any tips or tricks for quitting or wish to join me in quitting let me know. And no, I can’t do any of those patch things or even nicotine gum/lozenges. It’s got to be cold turkey for me.

I’m off to look for calendars now. Wish me luck.
