Grumble.

[angelchicken]

I want a cigarette. I have been without for four days now. And I want a freaking smoke. I have been chewing gum (Nicorette is blech) and I have been trying NOT to eat because that way lies weight gain and I have just lost a lot of weight and don't want to gain it back. Grrr. And I am very lazy today. La. Ze. Lazy. blah.

I'm not going to have a cigarette. But I really want one.

Hang in there, sweetie. Imagine how much better you'll feel if you don't give in. You are an amazing, strong person. You can do it!

Okay, now I miss you. Must go look at the Con pics. (Which I really will try to post this weekend. Promise!)

Go you!! From what I've read, nicotine is more addictive than heroin. My mom has tried to quit many, many times in the past 20+ years of her habit, and has never made it nearly as far as you have already. I promise you, it does ease over time. I don't know anyone who's successfully quit who is still jonesing all the time. It's just incredibly sucky for the first couple of weeks, particularly the first few days. (I remember seeing my mom try to quit... it's the only time in my life she's ever taken a full plate of spaghetti and threw it at the wall. Good times.) I am in awe of what you've accomplished already.

A bit of encouragement from a stranger: I quit a little over two years ago, and I did not gain weight (which was my biggest fear, because I'm shallow like that) (plus, as you know, it's a ready excuse to keep handy just in case you do lapse: "Oh, I started smoking again because I was getting so fat I couldn't stand it!". Or maybe I'm the only one who was half hoping to be able to fall back on that, in the beginning...)

Anyway, The early days suck beyond the telling, but it really and truly does get easier. Hang in there.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support more than you can imagine. And I would feel so supported if I could see con pics *hint, hint* ;)

Seriously, though. I really appreciate the kind words. You are wonderful. It's no wonder you got James' sexy grin.

*flashes you my sexy grin*

Thanks. The weekend is the hard part, but so far so good, I suppose. During the week I have work to distract me, but now I am just futzing around the internet. I know it will get easier. It is just a pain until then. And I know about the mood swings. Nicotine is a bitch. My grandmother finally quit after 30 years of smoking by going to a hypnotist. And it actually worked.

I do appreciate the kind words Thank you so much.

1) I love your icon

2) Thank you. I know that it will get easier. I really do. It is just waiting to get to that point. I have been smoking fairly regularly for about eight years and I hate it, but it has become such a part of my life. I am glad I stopped, but at the same time, deal Lord I miss it. But it's nice to hear from other people who know the hell of quitting. Thanks for the support.

You will kick its ass! You are strong and cool!

If James can do it, you can too. ;)
