Quitting Day 2
(2:00am)
I made it through the first full day!
It was a really long day yesterday.
I would like to thank all the people who have shown me support so far. Without all of you I'm sure I would of cracked yesterday and failed.
I also want to say sorry to anyone who got the short end of the stick and had to deal with me over reacting. This isn't the first time I've tried to quit, and I'm fully aware of how big of a prick I can be.
Not too long after my last addition to yesterdays blog I went to bed.
I found that my "pre-sleep" smoke was the easiest to give up. Not sure if its because I had gone so long already, or if its because its one I didn't have every single time I went to go to bed.
Waking up this morning was still no fun. When I woke up I sat up and started to make my way to my desk for the morning deaths. I guess I should mention here, that every morning I would have 2, back to back. 1 just never seemed to be enough to get me going.
As soon as my mind was clear enough to see what I was trying to do, I forced myself to lay back down. I ended up laying there watching Invader Zim for an hour before I decided I was past the point of wanting my morning smokes.
Once I got up I started working on this.
Sitting here, staring at where my pack, my lighters, and my ashtray should be makes me feel kinda empty because I know they'll never be in those spots again. Sucks having to get used to something changing that you've "known" for so long.
Anyways I better make my way to the gas station. I know the lady working was really excited yesterday for me to come in and let her know how I'm doing. I think I may make this a normal part of my day. The talking to someone about quitting will help, and in addition to that I'm getting a small workout.
(7:45) I'm going crazy! All i've been able to think about the past 2 hours is wanting a smoke. I've tried everything i could possibly think of and nothings helping.
(2:00) Alright so in what I can only think of as either flat out stupidity, or sheer genius to keep from buying a pack, i ended up taking money out of a small fund I wasn't supposed to know about or touch. I used that money to buy Rock band for the 360. I'll tell ya its really helped, haven't hardly thought about smoking the whole time i've been playing. When I quit playing tho I get the urge for one right away. Oh well its working really well for me. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to come up with the money to replace what I took...

Isn't the first day the hardest? I know you're more than capable of quiting.

You should get a stress ball and put it where your packs used to be. So everytime you reach for the packs you get the stress ball. You can squeeze it to get your frustration and your craving for a smoke to go away. I don't know if it will help but it sounded like a good idea.
 Keep it up you can do it!! |

That is good that you made it past day one. Keep going strong! Don't give in! Best of luck to you. I really like Litte Lady's suggestion about the stress ball.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! You made it past day one and I'm guessing day 2 too!! I'm sooooooo proud of you!! I know that you can do it this time!!! We need to keep thinking of things that you can put in place of the lighter, smokes, ashtray, etc. Let me know if you come up with some type of candy or whatever and I will send it to you. I think that taking the money out of the fund for Rock Band was a good move if it keeps you busy and not smoking. If you quit smoking then the cost of Rock Band will be nothing compared to the amount you'll save in not buying smokes & your improved health...pretty good investment if you ask me.
