Day 2 but really only Day 1

First of all, I want to apologize to my friends. I had a half pack yesterday and smoked them all.

My last smoke was at about 9:00 last night. The first hour today was okay and after that I started wanting one. Trev, your right man playing guitar helps. As long I play I don't think too much about smoking. I've been playing for about 3 hours now, good thing I have calluses lol

So long as I can stop myself from going to the store and buying some I'll be okay. We're all gonna make it, I know :)

Day 2

I don't have too many cravings this morning but that could be because I smoked at 1 a.m. Yes, sorry guys! It pains me to admit it but there you go.

Normally at this stage I would give up and go back to smoking but I think I'll start fresh today. Not beating myself up too bad! Happens. I've been smoking since I was 16 so I knew it wasn't going to be easy.

Hope you guys are doing better but if not we're still going to do this. So, day 2 that is really now day 1 again. At least for me. :)

Well I woke up and I knew I was going to be a non smoker from this point on , the usual coughing and looking for a fix . This isn't healthy what I did 7 am in the morning I open a coke jeez I need something ..
I start working on my resume' for another job and my mind is wondering off into the never never land , really needing a fix guys ....But I don't have a lighter or even a cigarette butt in my house ..
Smoking is no good for me , I have to keep telling myself this , smoking bad , smoking bad , jeez ...
I need to do something with my hands , time for break from the resume' and picks up my old guitar and tunes it up ...
Trying to learn a Billy Joel , hey that worked while playing i didn't want a ciggie , but its' like sex after I finish playing I am looking for a smoke ...Dam !!!

I have taken Monday off work , this will help me I think ...I bloody hope it does anyway
I hope Linda and Carey are handling this better then me ..
AGGHHH

Trev

Here we go, I think

Well like Linda, I was going to throw away my cigarettes. But hey, they're expensive! I have a half a pack left, must.... throw.... cigarettes... awaaaayyyyy!

I had one after breakfast, not a very auspicious start I'm sorry to say. I will throw those little bastards away, I will.

Hour 1

Day 1 ....

I made coffee, had breakfast ... and threw out my cigarettes. Well, there we go ... my first lie ... I didn't throw them out. I tried to throw them out but decided to put them away. After all they're expensive. :) Ok, so I should throw them out. I know that. And I will.

Ok, I'm back. They're gone.

I already feel the effects of not smoking and it's not pleasant. Someone told me to look at the withdrawal effects as the 'monster' dying. Believe it or not that helped.

Going to go shoot some photos today. And then exercise ... I will absolutely not gain weight. :)

Hope my friends are doing better than I am. I'm not exactly suzy sunshine at the moment.

Tomorrow is the day!

We're three Facebook friends from around the world. We've all decided to quit smoking on Sunday August 10, 2008.

We are Trevor from Queensland Australia, Linda from Alberta Canada and Carey from British Columbia Canada. We've all been smoking for far too long and have decided that we will quit together and support each other.

This is our blog to document our "decent into hell and back" and to give each other a helping hand.
