Day 7 9 hours ago

I went through most of yesterday without wearing a patch. Every single time a craving comes back one has to be conscious and repress it back to the labrynths from which it came from. My friends have considered me to be a non smoker, due to my hardcore convictions on it. I’m happy that it is going well. I must admit that I do want to smoke, but I realize that I am better off not doing so. 3 more weeks and I’ll consider this goal accomplished



CrushedAristocrat is going to do homework

Doing it 2 days ago

Its just easy, STOP, human nature is very lazy, when you think about it, but how NOT doing something shouldnt be a problem at all, right?..

I got lung diseaser, lung fever or so, you cant realy smoke when your fever is skyrocketing.



Day 4 3 days ago

Today again I have decided to use half a patch (in order to calm down my nicotine craving without overdosing myself with nicotine) as to crave it more later in the future. I am satisfied with the progress that I have made and refuse to go back to smoking cigarettes. I have 3 more weeks before I can claim this goal as finished, wish me luck, as I continue doing what I have been doing.



Somehow 4 days ago

... this has to be done!
I already tried this four times, but always ended with a new cigarette between my lips. Thats so annoying.
But sometimes I´ll get it ;)



Day 2 5 days ago

Yesterday was DAY 1 of my quitting. I wish I did not have cravings, but I have started to replace those cravings with gum (or anything around me that I can munch on). I hope for them to be gone real soon (they are difficult to combat). Wish me luck



Last pack 1 week ago

Today im buying my last pack of cigarettes.

MALBORO REDS 100’s

I figure it’d be best to quick on my favorite brand and the first type of cigarette that I ever smoked. Alongside the longest of them all to plead my farewell to.

Here in NYC their up to 10 dollars a pack. My quitting is being brought about by my health, financial situation, and loss of pleasure that cigarettes once brought me. I have been worn out from that phase of my life. Now we move on to bigger and better things. But 20 more ;) then ill be good. A last farewell is necessary to keep me sane.

now when eddy wants a regular instead of a menthol, theres some there for him and im still not paying for his or issac’s smoking.
