Your Guide to Quitting - Preparation is Key

No more jitters between fixes.  Blood pressure normal.  Good sleeps. No more stinkin' thinkin' like an elevator stuck between floors, no more following the crowd in the wrong direction, and on and on.

In the News...

History:  Young people approached me asking for a smoke.  I told them no because smoking kills.
So one of them asked me why I was smoking and I told him to quit now because it gets harder as we get older and I'm half gone anyway.  They didn't bother me anymore probably thinking I was a nutter.  They were probably right in thinking that.

I never liked Maslow anyway.  I can say that.  I'm a non-smoker gaining weight.  Duh.

How to people cope with anxiety while trying to quit?

Indeed!  I was laying on the couch reading the book when out of the blue the couch seemed to be pushed back and forth against the wall. I stopped reading and waited. It stopped just as suddenly as it had started.
Londoners were jolted at 1:51 PM by an earthquake centered in Virginia that registered a 5.9 on the Richter scale.
"We felt the one last year and just kind of felt dizzy. This year, we felt it - we were rocking in our chairs and our floor lamps were rocking. It felt much stronger than the last one."

Day 5! Hell week is almost over.

Has anybody mentioned loosing your cool?  I did it today.  The water was turned off without warning.  The cleaning lady turned the tap on in the apartment over me and finding no water left the apartment.  I was on my way out for a walk when I heard water rushing from upstairs.  I rushed up and turned the tap off and tried to mop up the water.  The manager had decided to get lost today.  I yelled for the cleaning lady to fetch the shopvac.  She did nothing.  I screamed my head off and said some not nice things to her for all the neighbour to hear.  They were shocked!  This is not like me at all.  It's been a hectic week.
SMOKING IS NOT AN OPTION!

Nightmare

Not smoking.  I went uptown yesterday.  The scene there was like something out of a science fiction movie.
Everybody on the street had a cigarette in their mouth or in their hands.  Turning a corner at a construction site four workers jumped out of the building.  It seemed to me to be four devils all pointing their cigarettes at me.
I couldn't get home fast enough.

It's called Smoker's Cleanse.  Got it at health food store.
