Quitting: Day One

Friday, July 29th, 2005

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 I wanted to tell her to just shove it up her ass. I almost crumbled right then.

Sleeping wasn’t easy. A lot of nervous pacing at 3am. Course, that’s the combination of all the day’s stress (Dad’s health news + decision to quit + work stress).

Getting ready to head to work. Will see if I can walk past the gas station without stopping for a pack of cigs.

Goal: If I can make it 4 days on the cold turkey system, I’ll announce publicly that I’m quitting. That means roughly 8pm on Monday.
