Feels like FOREVER! I know! lol

Haven’t done a post in a while, so i figured I’d fill ya guys in on “the latest” from me. A Few things, actually have – and, i’m quite happy with them!

Let the symptoms begin!

So, i went to the Alberta Quits website just now, i’m actually still sitting there. I did cave in twice last night and had 2 smokes – but, i’m not taking that as a loss! Hell no! Not happening! I’ve been up a little over 5 hours now, and have had cravings – but, those are just the chemicals wanting it. I’m experiencing the symptoms now, so, i know it’s only the mental challenges that are ahead of me right now. But, before i go into anymore detail, let’s just show ya what Alberta Quits said to me today!

You may experience significant withdrawal symptoms in the first few days of your quit, but the more time that passes, the weaker the withdrawal symptoms become! Fight the urge to smoke with the Four D’s: Delay (until the urge passes); Deep breathing; Drink water; Distract yourself. To reduce the cravings, consider taking Quitting Medications.

Withdrawl is a pain in the ass.

Day number 2 of no smoking started at 11pm last night, and i have to say….I’m feeling it today. Not just the common side effects – like the headaches, irritability, what have you – but, also in my habits I’ve formed in the past 17 years.
