Smoking, not much to report yet
Not much to say in the smoking realm this afternoon. I am not sure what the deal is, but I was really hungry all day. I am not sure that taking one pill can make you hungry, but whatever…I am blaming the nervous breakdown I had a moment ago on that bag chips on the pills. I had several handfuls. It wasn’t pretty.
I was nervous today about quitting. Now that I had actually started taking the pills and the countdown has begun I am having some anxiety.
I joined an online forum for quitters, and the messages there are pretty helpful. These people are for real. They take quitting very seriously. It’s nice. I haven’t really said anything yet since, well I haven’t actually quit smoking :) If I am having problems though, I plan to use it. It’s cool, I saw it happen a couple times today…if you put ‘Help Help Help’ (or similar) in the subject, people flood into the thread to talk to you and get you through the craving. To me that is awesome. They do ask that you don’t smoke until 3 people have had a chance to respond (usually the amount of time it takes you to get it under control)…seems fair.
The one thing that was a little strange was that there is an awful lot of flirting in the threads. I find that strange. Mostly off color remarks from male users to female users. I dunno, I am not a prude, but that seems in poor taste to me. Like, “hey were all here to get help!”…”Nice ass!” Wtf is that about.
Onward and upward friends. Tomorrow is day two of the pillz. Looking forward to it.
**EDIT: I should say…no one actually said “Nice Ass”, I was being hyperbolic as an example. :) **
Maybe something at the cognitivequitting site will help you recognize and take control of your habit will Chantix deals with your nicotine dependence. Best of luck

Thanks steve. I will look at that.
Yo dude, Nils at RWC told me you were quitting. Good to hear. I just quit about 2.5 months ago after 8 years of smoking. I initially tried back in December and wasn’t successful. Which isn’t unusual from what I hear. But this time’s been going a lot better.
And what they say on that site you’re looking at about at least waiting untiil 3 people respond to your is a good idea; it’s all about waiting out each craving. And each one WILL pass in about 20 minutes, so just keep telling yourself that. It’s totally true. I’m sure you’ve already heard this all before, but it does get easier. I don’t even much think about it anymore.
Anyhow, just wanted to drop some words of encouragement. Hope it goes well for you!
Hey Joey,
Thanks for stopping by to say something. I appreciate it. Always good to hear success stories!
Funny… That’s how Runner’s World’s forum is. All these inappropriate gestures from men towards women. I guess the Interweb mirrors life… Sweet.
Great job on the decision to quit Nate. BTW, that’s one fine ass you have.
Bob…you flatter me.
