I've been sick for a few days with a bad head cold that immediately went into my chest (no surprise there). Monday, I smoked a total of eight cigarettes (I'm a... wait, WAS, a pack a day smoker). Tuesday, I smoked one, at 10 am. I couldn't freaking' breathe afterwards! I decided to snag a nicotine patch from my mom and use it for the day, so I could hopefully get over this cold sooner.
Needless to say, when I got to work, my co-worker told me about becomeanex.org and really urged me to keep trying to stay smoke free.
It's now been 32 hours since I smoked that cigarette.
The patch is helping with the cravings, but man... I really, really, want to just run outside and smoke one real quick.
The cough drops are helping (the sore throat AND the cravings!!) but I'm worried about how I'll feel about this "quitting thing" once I'm feeling better.........
BAH! More cough drops!!!
