DUNN x DOLO

Well its official. Yeah Im actually trying to quit for reals this time. I figured it would be nice to keep a time stamp on my progress so that people could actually see the effects of withdrawl, and other problems that come with quitting. Maybe this will also help some of those the want to quit but just dont have the willpower to do it.


So today at 6:36 a.m. I had a smoke to start me off. I figure with me smoking for about 17 yrs, going cold turkey would be damn near impossible. So I would try to ween my way off.

Around 10:35 p.m. I found myself trying hard not to think about smoking since I usually take a smoke break around this time. I found that if I chewed gum and kept myself busy with my work that I was able to not think about it so much.

Around 3:00 p.m. I found that I was starting to think about smoking alot no matter what I did. I found that there was a warm feeling in my chest that made me uneasy and start to panic a little bit. I really was craving nicotine really bad. It was really hard for me not to go ask one of my co-workers for a cigarette.

5:00 p.m. I get off of work and the craving is kicking in full force. I found myself smelling cigarettes everywhere I was and wanting one really bad. I saw a half smoked cigarette on the ground and actually contemplated picking it up and smoking it. Luckily my bus came and I had enough willpower to ignore it. Thank goodness for that.

6:45 p.m. I finally have another smoke to calm my nerves. I actually felt a little proud since I usually go through almost a pack a day......and yet here it was I only smoked 2 cigarettes in the span of a little more than one work period.

9:00 p.m. I had my final cigarette for the night and for some reason I could actually taste it. Something I haven't tasted since I started when I was thirteen. The actual taste of nicotine from the smoke, and it was horrible.

Im actually getting ready for bed and hopefully I can do well again tomorrow. The way things are going, its going to be a long journey.....but Im confident that I can actually do this. Wish me luck A4. Untill my next post tomorrow.
