UPDATE: 72 hours and counting...

Had the first nic-fit of this attempt. Almost broke down and smoked a butt, but I thought about you guys, and how disappointed you would be in me... or maybe you don't care, that's cool too, the illusion of you caring is there in my mind. Short-version, i didn't do it. Got in the car to go buy cigarettes, buckled the seatbelt, pulled out of the driveway, reflected, then pulled back in and decided to water the flowers. Special thank you to Pancake Monk who is giving me one to one encouragement. Pancake if I am successful, it is in no small part due to your help. And again, thank you guys for being such a cool bunch, except you Bopsheezi... [spoiler]you disgust me[/spoiler] [spoiler]*ear scritches* HAAA I'm kidding! favorite! *Throws brick*[/spoiler] Update: I'm on Day 3, this is a good foundation- but I need to make it the rest of my life... I won't update you guys until next week. 1 week is the next milestone, than 1 month, then 6 months, then I will recognize you Offtopic every year that I am no longer a smoker. I'm not going back, these 3 days have been the toughest, but thanks to the coaching of Pancake Monk and the valuable advice of Xombiexronad, I've got a method. Thanks again guys, it's just words on a screen, but it's the motivation I never had before, I wonder why that is... Update:2 : I bought a book on beekeeping today.

          • The first days are rough, when I ultimately quit was when I had strong enough motivation. For me, I swore my children would never know me as a smoker, and they never have. After thirteen years last month, I couldn't even fathom having a cigarette. The smell sickens me now and I have no idea how I could have enjoyed it. Stay strong, you will be glad you did. When the cravings hit, try playing Tetris. I know it sounds goofy, but it draws your concentration from the craving. Best of luck!
