So I tried the gum. But I am really bad about remembering a schedule when I’m busy at work. So by the time I would have the gum I would really want a cigarette. It didn’t help. Now I am trying the patch. It’s working much better since it is a 24 hour patch. I am also sick (sore throat) so I don’t want a cigarette. It is hard staying at home and seeing the lighters and ashtrays but I am keeping my mind off of it. It doesn’t hurt that I am out of cigarettes and too sick to go to the store. And that I’m afraid of what will happen if I smoke with the patch. I imagine death by nicotine. If you know this will not happen, please don’t tell me. The fear is a big help.
So I am going to continue working on it. I am discovering things that I enjoy. Like driving and not getting wet when it rains because of the cracked window (also staying warm in the winter). I am sure I will find more when I am not sick.

I am trying to quit. I have been quitting on and off for about 3 months now. Each time I last from 4 hours to 5 days. I’ve discovered that 1) I do not like smoking, 2) after quitting I’ve noticed how smelly I and everything I own is, 3) that weird chest feeling is not because of how I sleep or living in a city- it is from the smoking, and 4) I hate quitting. Well, lets accept it. Smoking sucks and so does quitting.
I was really good in the beginning, right after my bf and I broke up. But then I heard he had quit because his new girlfriend doesn’t like smoke around her baby. So I went out and smoked and drank and came home really late cause I could and he couldn’t. The sad thing is that I was really ready to quit, I had passed the 3 day mark, but going out drinking just lead to smoking and all my resoluteness just passed.
So now I try and I continue trying. I try to go one day without smoking. I try not to overcompensate when I restart. I have discovered that it’s not so much about the nicotine addiction as it is about routine. I smoke in my car, I smoke after meals, I smoke during breaks at work. How can I stop those?
