Giving up smoking for the 1061st time…

Filed under: — jim @ 04:43 GMT

Okay, so day 3, using patches, gotta start somewhere. Moral support accepted. Two days, 17 hours, 42 minutes and 33 seconds. 32 cigarettes not smoked, saving €10.27. Life saved: 2 hours, 40 minutes.

  1. You know you can do it. Think of not having to go outside in the cold for a smoke at the pub… :-)

  2. Go for it! Drink lots of water, avoid caffeine (soda and coffee always got me a-jonesin’), find a punching-bag or squeezable ball to take out any frustration when you get a real urge. Even if it’s still freezing out, open up the window to keep you in fresh air but in a different setting than your smoke & walk habit of the past.

    :)

  3. In the interests of my own health I’d just like to advise restraint re: the punching bag and squeezable ball options, especially if it’s an early morning craving…
