Quit the weed I have!

July 17th, 2007

Saturday 14thJuly ‘07

The rollies are no longer.

It has been for me a long time coming, I had my last smoke about 2am saturday night/sunday morning, It is now tuesday evening, and all is well.

More to follow, just establishing the link for the picture above.
I have altered my permalink structure in conjunction with a trackback spam blocker plugin, and consequently I can’t remember the configuration of the structure.

Day one

A sunday, a good day to start and strive for a change in direction. Also there was a plan for the day, which involved being busy and getting organized quite early.

Off to Clithero to visit nana and have lunch, and wander around garden centers. A talkin’ heads song comes to mind for all the wrong reasons. It was a good day bought a stone statue, gargoyle kind of thing for the garden, chats about life death and money…… Glad to be alive.
He is a slightly dissatisfied looking knight leaning on his sword with vigilant eyes.

No comparison there with reality, or indeed my situation, for I am without doubt the most happy in fluctual space as one could be, considering the complexities of the plaster on the wall over the top of this monitor.

Not to mention the bloody whole thing, aka. THE Universe

No seriously it was a good day, I ate like a horse.

You know the ones you usually see when queuing for your bucket in KFC.

It was good grazing, you can’t beat that gravy, they say you put on weight when you quit the ciggies, I for one, no doubt in the minority here hope this to be true, for now at 38 I am just over 11 stone the same as the day I was born.

So, put on a few pounds hit the gym, buy a porshe Hahhah ah..

On the other hand Jod my partner who has also quit will find herself in the weight gaining situation I have just described without letting a morsel pass her lips, the unfair irony of organic metabolism.

Arrived home in the rain, (just snipped the rain reference for geological/meteorological reference.)

Kids to bed, a sudden and unexpected feeling of nausea, no doubt due to the over dosing effect of the nicotine patches.

Felt pretty rough from about half nine till midnight when I went to bed. Day one done without a Smoke.. Good enough

Day two & three: (monday & tuesday)

Working from early till schools out time, then home. Feeling better today, no sickness, just trying not to think about the cigs. The patches are working well, no cravings, just habit compulsion to go for a smoke, before I remember that I have stopped. Last night was a little difficult, we bought some alcohol after the kids had gone to bed, an obvious trigger situation. We both managed, enjoyed the drink smoke free.

Day four: (wednesday)

I am off work today, at home with Molly. Day 4, never before got through this day when trying to quit, so today is of special significance.
