Journal Day 14
Posted by admin on December 5, 2007
Today was a pretty crappy day…I caved again and smoked….Because I repeated the pattern of going out to a pub. I did see some great live music, and meet a potentially awesome business connection, so it hasn’t all been bad….but damn, time to reset that counter back to 0.

hope you dont get the amotivational syndrome now, you smoked, you must feel kind of guilty and releif, still youre alright, keep going, i am myself smoking like a dog right now, outta control. I know my time“s passed up long time ago and still i keep hurting myself, why??? am i so scared of putting this nasty habit away?, how can i stop being a chicken and get the inspiration to quit?, i know i have made a neurosis aout of this question, maybe it aint dat hard and me and u are just vary psicologycally addicted, maryjane is the drug wid da hardes psicological dpendance of them all and i hate dat, is seems dat only if a drug has fisical effects in withdrawal its valid as a really as a hard drug, to me the psicological dependance is wwhat i ate the most, im here, i support, although i cant make up my mind i am scared to shit, and know ill die someday and i have to quit now.

try sleeping instead
I go kinda crazy and cranky when not smoking, so my escape from that is sleep… Like i said earlier - about 2 weeks.
How did you feel after you smoked? Did you feel guilty? Did you have a bad high thinking about it all? Or were you able to just chill and go with it?
Good luck. Keep going.

Don’t feel too bad, you are not alone. I have to reset our counter back to 0 again too.
If you give up all is lost, if you keep trying at least you are making an effort, no matter how many tries it takes to get there just keep trying!
We’ll be with you all the way.

Well, I’m still going strong. Unfortunately, I have a HUGE temptation on the way….harvest time for my buddy. Everyone went to his house to get down today…I went home alone. I figured it would be the best thing to do.
One thing I’m noticing since my head is clearing is that I am having some STRANGE dreams. I mean odder than odd. Last night had Mike Vick chasing me down and throwing an endless supply of small dogs at me. Good lord, what is wrong with me???
And I agree with Stimpy. I’ve been sleeping as much as possible to simply keep it off of my mind. First week had me irritable and unable to sleep, but that has subsided and I’m sleeping whenever I am fixated on smoking. I’m not worried about exercising or any of that stuff yet, just focusing on getting past the initial dumps quitting has put me in.
Keep on trying, everyone. If I can do this for even two weeks after 17 years of 24/7 smoking, any of you can do it. I’m far from where I need to get but today is today, and that’s all I’m worried about. I know everyone says that ‘one day at a time’ crap and it’s kind of played out and corny, but it’s damn true. Just decide not to smoke today. Tomorrow is a bridge you can cross when you get to it.

And wish me luck since I’m going out Saturday night to see the Mayweather-Hatton pay per view at a bar and I know some smokey smokey will be going on.

I totally agree with Ekin. One day at the time. Today is what matters, don’t smoke today. Try not to think about tomorrow because then it seems too daunty. Do it today and then when tomorrow comes you will feel stronger. Or so I hope
