Cravings are not so bad with the patch on. They are at their worst right after I eat or while I’m driving.
Unfortunately, sleep is also an issue. I toss and turn so much with the hippy-wacky-psycho dreams that I don’t get much rest. Last night I had this dream that I [...]
The concert last night was good. Elaine has a lovely voice. I spent most of the night working her CD and merchandise table. I think we had about 30 people there. I don’t know if we covered all our costs or not, but it was fun all the same.
Today’s church service went pretty well. We [...]
I’m in the office today working on my talk for tomorrow’s service and the editorials for the next issue of the paper. Later tonight, we’re hosting a concert by Elaine Silver at church. I’ll be helping with anything that needs to be done, although I’m not sure what that will be.
Joanna and Brandon came over [...]

By the end of the day yesterday I was entertaining violent bloody murder fantasies about everyone who crossed my path. Yeah, cold-turkey not working. So I went and bought a four week supply of the patch. It took the edge off my cravings-turned-to-violent-impulses. Still had trouble sleeping, but at least it [...]
Oops. Missed it by a few days. Happy belated birthday to *-*-*_outcomehides_”>.
Admittedly, my newspaper doesn’t reach a very large audience when compared with, say, the New York Times. In fact, compared to Salt Lake’s two major dailies, we barely register on the total readership available in our area. However, I’m trying not to be too filled with resentment and anger today.
See, the story about Beano and [...]

This is agony. Watching the clock tick by at work, I really, really want to go buy a pack of cigarettes. I’m saying things to myself like “just one to take the edge off” and “what if I only smoke while I’m at work.” I know I’m lying to myself. I’ll [...]
Less than 24 hours and the cravings are intense. I deciced I’d just go cold turkey since my experiences in the past with the patch have been not-so-good.
Mom tried to hand me some literature from the doctor about why I should quit last night. I was in the middle of my first intense craving and [...]
Just smoked my last cigarette.
I don’t want to quit. I don’t want to listen to 6 months of Mom’s nagging either. I know that in 6 months we’ll be back to living our normal fat food unhealthy lives, but it’s either quit smoking right now or listen to endless bitching and lectures until Mom gets [...]
I just got a call from Mom. The results of Dad’s medical tests came back and it’s not good. Apparently, he’s been having heart attacks for years – including at least one “major” heart attack – and he’s lost use of 89% of his heart. Because of his diabetes, the heart attacks have not exhibited [...]
