Here I go again. This Time I’m Really Gonna Quit Smoking!
Yes, I’m a loser. My first attempt to quit smoking was truly an epic failure. I blame the “good” stress I’m having with my new relationship with my eharmony babe. Getting to know her, meeting her children etc. Everything has been picture perfect so there is no excuse for me to not quit smoking. Everything is good and extremely positive right know.
So this is it. I have my last cigerette in front of me. I will savor every toke I take, because this will be the last forever.
Fifteen minutes have passed. I smoked my last cigarette. It has begun!
Like the last time, I’ll be updating this post in the comment section on a daily basis and tweeting about it through out the day.
Please, join in. I can use all the encouragement I can get!!!

Day 1 – It’s 10:06 and I’m getting ready for bed. The day went pretty good. I only had a few rough moments but they passed. I feel more confident than I did the last time. I had lots of distractions today. Tomorrow could be another story. It’s my Monday, and I’ll be bored at work so that will probably make it more difficult. Here’s a thought, maybe if I actually did some work to keep me occuppied, that will probably help. But why would I want to do that?
Day 2 – It’s 11:09 pm. Over all a successful day. I rate it a 7 out of 10 with 10 being the least amount of cravings. I had my moments throughout the day but they passed. Positive thinking, understanding that the craving will pass, the nicoderm patch and keeping busy really helped. I just wish I’d stop coughing..

Day 3 – It’s 12:29 am. Just got off the phone with my Boo. I’d rate this day another 7. Not bad for the 3rd day. Still have the cravings that hit, but I just remember to stay strong.. they will pass. Started working on my positive affirmations. I think they are helping. Im intrested in the concept. I want to see if I can make it work for me..

Day 4 – It’s 12:48 am. I’m starting a 4 day weekend. I’m a little concerned about my cravings to smoke. But I have planned my weekend around lots of activities with my eHarmony Boo and snobby non-smokers. So I should be safe. Today was another 7. The only difference was the cravings seemed to be a little more intense. But as always.. they passed. I really think I’m gonna do it this time.. I really don’t want to smoke any more…

Day 6 – Im a little late posting this one. Day 6 is rougher, a lot rougher. I didn’t smoke though. I went out for the day and forgot to put my patch on. I wanted a smoke sooooo bad after dinner. I fought it and won.. Proud of myself about yesterday. I pulled it off. Excited about Sunday. Sunday will be a mild stone.. my 7th day…

Day 7 & 8 – I missed posting for a couple of days. My apologies. I’ve been running around a lot the last two days. Been hanging with the new eHarmony Boo…I’ve been preoccupied.. Which is a good thing when it comes to quit smoking. Urges are still coming and going. Keeping myself occupied is the best though. Im in the middle of day nine right now. The urges are decreasing in intensity but they are still there. As long as I keep thinking positive, I’m gonna win this one…

@andyba35 Non smoking blokes will prefer to kiss you. Now what more reason to quit do you need?

It took me 2 years to fully Quit Smoking, it is really difficult to Stop smoking and you need lots of self discipline to stop the cravings on cigarettes.
Hey Marc,
Thanks for the comment.. I knew it was going to be tough… tougher than I thought…
I thought having the pressure of people looking in would help me succeed. Guess not…
I am determined, I am admittedly week at the moment….
i stopped smoking a couple of months ago and it was very difficult to stop my cigarette cravings. nicotine patches helped me a lot to quit smoking.
