Day Six - Cold turkey

18 years ago 0 +0 / -0 61

Hi everybody, Just wanted to let everyone know that today is day six for me. I feel pretty good now and have started weight lifting again. Haven't done that for quite awhile. It has been hard going cold turkey. I got some hypnosis tapes when I first quit. The tapes have a way of putting a thousand pieces of common sense in your head. I'm not sure if it's the reason I'm staying strong or just a help but I would reccomend it. Also it's good to have a goal. In my spare time I am a songwriter and have recorded a couple of my songs. I am putting my quit money aside to go back to the studio. Having goals (at least for me) is great motivation to stop

Thanks everybody, Well today is day seven and I'm feeling pretty good. I liked the comment about being sleepy, I got that the last time I tried to quit using the patch. This ways a bit more interesting I guess. Sometimes I feel like I could lift a car over my head even though I know thats not possible. Sometimes I feel like I don't know what's going on at all and space out. I have a mentor at work and told him yesterday that in case he's wondering I'm not a crazy person that spaces out every five minutes I just quit smoking. He laughed and congratulated me. Dear SimpleSong I'm sure you will be fine. I like the common sense of the hypnosis tapes ie - "smoking is dumb because it is dumb and you know this because you can see the dumbness in its dumb," anyways you get the point. It's hard to argue with blunt logic I guess. Congrats to everyone else who is staying strong. This is a great site and I was skeptical at first but find it very uplifting to know that I'm not alone. Besides none of my friends will quit with me and my wife quit a couple years ago.

Hi Jojo0195 You can be proud of yourself for getting as far as you are. I admire your perseverance and hope I'm able to do as well. I like the hypnosis tapes too. Yesterday was my first day and I think they were the thing that did the most to me get through it. Keep up the good work!

Nice work, Jojo! Sounds like you're really motivated. And hey, I'm sure there's something to hypnosis. song writing? Pour your creativity into that and forget about smoking. I love to write too, novels though. I've written two in the past seven years. Just have to get them out. Keep the great work and keep posting here. It really helps.
