Quit smoking support group

I'm now at 48 hours. I want to kill all of you a little less.

 

It's gone in three days.

Eat a shitload of raisins, get the jumbo bag of sunflower seeds.

And don't drink beer.

 

I've gone through half a bag of Jolly Ranchers in the last day. The first day I chewed a shit ton of Orbit and came up with a sore jaw, hence the switch to Jolly Ranchers.

 

When you get a serious fix, take a walk or a run or start lifting. Do something physical.

 

i hope you burn in hell for typing shit and orbit in the same graph.

 

OK, does this mean the hard part is over? Now at 76 hours.

 

They'll enter your dreams next, your most fragmentary REM thoughts.

 

Last time I quit, I remember dreaming I had smoked and then waking up all pissed off at myself until I remembered that I hadn't actually smoked. It was very strange.

 

The patch gives you real fucked up dreams, if you wear it at night. Out of body, mushroom type.

Two more tips. If you're dying to have one, brush your teeth. Furiously, if need be. Even if you have to brush eight times a day. You're not going to want to smoke one after that anyway.

Count to 10, in measure. (It doesn't need to be a silly Zen abstraction.) 1, breathe, 2 breathe, so on, so forth.

 

Thanks for the help, General.

 

No problem, good luck. It's a hard master. I do still want one, you know. Every fucking day. But I said my goodbyes to that and I'm sticking by it. Plus my family will murder me.

 

I hope everyone's sticking to the plan. I have my occasional hiccups. All of my in-laws smoke like chimneys. Otherwise, I've been a good boy for a long time. In fact, I didn't even realize I once smoked. I'd forgotten.
