I was hoping to post stuff to help out other folks who are quitting smoking with a day to day scorecard on how I am feeling and what to expect, but I am too frazzled and distracted by other things to post. I guess I am not self involved enough ( Read more... )

Actually been nearly a week since my last post. Still not smoking, but it still feels like I just quit yesterday. My LPR is acting up a lot, so its all about the reflux. Hoping to someday be normal.

Last night came with visiting a friend who was not seriously injured, but was at the emergency room for a heart flutter. After I left, I definately wanted a cigarette, but avoided. Of course, since the cigarettes ( Read more... )

Been at work a few hours and its a dull day. Reading lots of things about smoking, but really trying to find peoples personal diaries of minute by minute quitting revelations. Theres a ton of the same stupid list making the rounds out there. Its the one that starts with "your blood pressure returns to normal after 20 minutes." Its all BS. Or ( Read more... )

Using Allan Carrs Book, the Easy Way to quit smoking, I have been smoke free for 24 hours. I survived a bar visit without smoking last night ( Read more... )
