We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

How are you holding up today? Hang in there, we can do this!!

So far so good.
I think I'm going to go ahead and destroy the last two cigarettes I have stashed today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Me:


I decided last month that I was going to try to do something I've never done before, quit smoking.

I knew I couldn't do it on my own so I got some medicine called Chantix. I tried Chantix about 10 years ago but I did not take it for the correct amount of time...I quit smoking but started back up after 3 months. I also do not remember it being this hard to quit back then.

I've been so worried about the side effects (I had one bad side effects last time) that I was not thinking about how hard today was going to be.

I have been on the medicine for a week with no bothersome side effects...that I was a nervous wreck about.



I have not smoked today and I really don't want to but geez I want to.

I am a 30 year smoker. I'm presently at day 36. Chantix has led the way and my willpower has done the rest. The urges will be there...be stronger. Good luck my friend!

You'll enjoy food a lot more too because smoking destroys your taste buds.

I used to hate grapes with a passion and now I eat them for dessert all the time. Tomatoes are another thing I hated, but only raw. I now eat tomatoes.

You will be amazed how food tastes a lot better.

My brand new car stinks today.

See and that's what people who smoke smell like but they're immune to the smell.

Soon you'll smell someone smoking a mile away and it'll disgust you.

I always get so mad what I'm walking into a store and there's people smoking in the front of it. It smells awful. I usually say loudly "So glad I quit because cigarettes smell nasty"

I had a nurse when I was hospitalized who smoked and every time she came near me I asked her if she just smoked. She was shocked I could tell. The smell doesn't wash off with soap, it stays on you.

Ozium. A spritz and close the car up.

Another thing is cigarette smoke ruins the glue that holds the headliner up.

Crush and dispose of those stashed smokes. It will be cathartic.
