Cigars getting to me

It's time I smoke backwoods cigars (a lot). Best I've gone is about 6 hours. Tried acupuncture a day ago (nothing at all). People at construction sites frequently tell me I smoke to much nothing phases me

I just took them off at night. (I never had nicotine when I slept so I reasoned,  "why do I need a patch on at night").  

I never got antsy in the mornings abut getting a patch on. This is mostly a mental game..

First Saturday off In three weeks. I need it!

No more wild dreams the last two nights but these patches really itch. Only using them during the day now. They're working though! Driving in traffic is stressful still but everyone else is doing it!

Bought some gum too, major heartburn from that. Better than the alternative though.

Day 1 again, had a cigar yesterday at work at the end of the day. Horrible taste! Was going to this acupuncturist yesterday but I think I'm wasting my money for an hour of pain, probably wasnt going to get there before they closed anyway. Working 10+ hour days still, eating dinner then going straight to bed. Pretty much said hi to my family then fall asleep.

Sorry for your day 1 again.    Glad it tasted horrible.  Keep at it.  You'll get there.

Did I tell you about smoking plastic straws yet?

Don't do it!

Probably taste as bad as a cigar, maybe worse.

they're good to chew on.

A quick $2 down the drain for 3 or 4 puffs before I crushed it under my boot, still I thought I was doing pretty good, just stood at the counter at 7-11 saw them and got one. Lit it in the parking lot without thinking twice until I tasted it. Starting over.

Glad you crushed the life out of it and spread the life back into you!

I am really glad that you are getting right back on the wagon.  Good for you for crushing it and for coming here!

Good job.  You realized you made a mistake and stopped it in it's tracks instead of using it as an excuse to smoke again.

Great work! Looks like you see smobriety as your future and are working through the ups and downs. Keep it coming!
