Day 5 - I am feeling a tiny bit better - just knowing that I can obsess all I want about my former cigarette smoking - right here - I can complain and carry on a much as I want. No one pooh-poohs me here. Its all about grace and trying to do good - even though that may sound a little nutty - it is the only thing that will work for me. ok - well enough is enough - I did not smoke today with the grace....

Keep up the good fight! You are doing better than me. My Mom is too. She has made it almost 2 weeks now and she was a BIG time smoker for like 50 years so....there is hope.
I say whine and complain on cuz I sure will!
ok tonight is the third night of total nicotine withdrawal without patch - strong and quick urges very fleeting - today I did eat on them spagetti and tons of tea - I remember all the other times stopping cigarettes and drinking much more caffine. I remember that my father did the same thing after he stopped smoking drank black coffee. He gained weight and then died of lung cancer. But the nice thing that happened today was walking the dog, and not feeling compeled to suck on a cigarette. I got into the cool new york autumn evening air and that lasted all of five minutes. Oh well it is what it is. I feel like crap but I did not smoke today.
