Week one: Diary of a former chimney!
Never, ever smoke: your mother was right after all!
Sunday:
smoked the last cigarette! was pretty drunk so really didn't feel anything.... This is too easy. What is the Fuss all about? Finally go to bed at about midnight
Monday 6.30 am
Rise and shine, weekend over. Time to start the week. Due to the over indulgence of the weekend, I did not have time to prepare for the week. So I have to wake up like really really early. I have a funny feeling in my throat! something is missing. Oh well, maybe its just a hangover.
8.00 am: Give away ALL my remaining stock.....
coffee finished...any smoker will tell you that these are the best to smoke:
- after coffee
- after food
- in the morning
- with a beer!
- after sex! he he he he
IM my sister and tell her I have stopped smoking: I think she is still in hospital recovering from the shock!
1.00 pm: Lunch! food has no taste, water no taste, I need a sweet!
Day one over! I always said that if I finish day one, then I will be fine: (woooi someone should have warned me!)
Tuesday:
Nothing happening, just fighting the cravings. Food is horrible, I just want something sweet.
Wednesday:
Day starts okay. Me full of determination. Work sax, yada yada yada.
6.00 pm
Visitors in the compound.... 2 crates of beer!
Dear Lord,
Please strike all this people dead
NOW!
should I have a beer or not? Ok maybe one.......two.....three......
9.00 Pm
I will never for as long as I live forget being chased around with a slipper because I was about to break down and smoke! LOOOL
Friday:
Actually feeling good! my room has no cigarette smoke smell, my clothes smell ok. Food is beginning to taste better! this no smoking thing has benefits
More drinks, more craving. Luckily this time no slipper!
12.00 midnite
I once read this thing, ati kissing a smoker is like kissing an ash tray. So I ask the delectable one (D1? yeah he is still around, so I keep getting on and off the BT) if there is a difference between kissing a smoker and a non smoker? attention all smokers: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!
Reflection:
I have a new admiration for people who break addictions. I have never had to do anything so hard in my entire life.
So the weekend is here, lets see how many slippers are used this weekend!
Scores:
BAT: nil
Half n Half: 1

Keep it up and hang on in there.
I agree with D1 There is a difference and I know it.
Hang in there!!!
Hang on there. You can break free of smoking (even though i have never smoked!)Good luck and update us on your progress.
I know how hard quitting can be! The most difficult battle of my life! Jikaze!
Keep this up my dear...
You forgot to mention having a gaf while "kumsalimia Saddam" as one of the most enjoyable. I have an ashtray and a stack of magazines in my loo.
Thumbs up and I pray you maintain it kamum.
You can do it!
I know the worst moments are those when alcohol is around. Me i have started to appreciate hanging with non-smokers, so there's no temptation any longer (ok ok, it has been reduced to 90%, rest is the unbeatable "i need a sigara, SASA!" feeling i just cant get rid of. *sigh*
Bad thing about Europe (or maybe the advantage): hakuna singoool sticks, cigs are only sold in packs + cost around 4,- EUR.
Money is still the best reason to quit smoking :-)
(am in my second week now, too!)
I'm surprised I didn't pick up smoking myself..although I think I've made up for it by dating smokers..I should save myself the heartache next time and just lick dirty ashtrays mara moja!
Good on you! Keep at it..
Good for you! You'll know you are winning the battle when you wake up from a dream where you are smoking as though waking up from a nightmare. That happened to me when I was quitting drinking coke.
Way to go...for some reason I've this urge to start smoking but you give me courage to break the urge!
