I've been feeling puny ever since I returned from Chicago. Never one to let illnesses get in the way of my nicotine addiction, I usually manage to continue smoking right through them... So despite the fact that I may have recovered a little sooner if I'd laid off them for a few days, I believe I smoked a little more than usual this week. Probably because I knew my quit day was right around the corner!
When I awoke on Sunday morning ( the first of February ), I still had 3/4 of a pack left, and in these tough economic times, it seemed like a grotesque waste of hard-earned money to throw them out. But by this morning, I was mentally locked & loaded to put on my first patch.
I'm starting with the strongest patch (Walgreen's version), and so far have no desire to use foul language around complete strangers, or tear my house apart looking for that pack of cigarettes I misplaced somewhere last week. I'm drinking lots of water today, and chewing successive pieces of Eclipse/Spearmint gum.
How about you? Is anyone else quitting with me?
