quiting smoking

[opmania]

Have been a 20 pack a day smoker

For nearly 40 years and stopped cold turkey

On Monday 

So have made it 4 days without a smoke

Feel like I am going crazy 

And don't want to go near a shop for a while

Until I feel safe to avoid the impulse to buy

A packet

Not easy that's for sure

[opmania]

Well I must say today I have a headache and feel tight

In the chest so the Good work has gone down the drain

But I will try again soon

Just take a few deep breaths oppy ...... it's just a matter of time before you can start it again .... 

Don't forget, that this is just the preliminary round, the next one can be full on ... don't despair, you can do it, I know you can, so I'm waving you on to victory xxx

I had a conversation with the owner of a laundrymat last week when I was the only customer there at the time. 75 years old, quit smoking many years ago and said it was the hardest thing he ever has done in his life.

There are many ways to look at this, you can see this as a falure and give up, or as losing the first battle, regroup and have another go at it. This don't have to be a total loss, at least now you have a better idea what your facing and basically have to decide if it's worth it to you.
