and nervous as hell. i'm actually shaking... UGH!!!! maybe the whole quit date idea isn't so great, but i def need to do it. if i don't give myself a deadline and stick to it, how am i gonna stick to quitting??? i hate smoking, yet i continue to do it because i haven't learned how to stop correctly. but from everything i've researched, i've learned that there is no one way to quit. i just have to do what works for me. the biggest thing that i've learned is that it is not just one thing i am changing. i am changing my entire life!!! i am big on routine... even the slightest kink in my routine and i feel like my whole day is lost. =(( but i know that is a problem and i have already started to fix it. no more cigarette when i first wake up. no more cigarette after the shower. no more cigarette while i scrape the car windows. no more cigarette in the car on the way to work. no more cigarette for my 10am break. no more cigarettes on my lunch. no more cigarette on my 3pm break. no more cigarettes on the drive home from work. no more cigarette after dinner. no more cigarette before i give the kids a bath. no more cigarette after i finally get the kids laid down. and no more cigarette before i lay myself down. jeesh... i really smoke alot!!!! scratch that, SMOKED alot... as of March 2nd 2009 i will be a EX!!!!!!!!!
