And all i want to do is go out and buy my Marlborl Smooths......peperment flavored cigs....thats all i can think about. In order to ignore these urges i've eaten dinner (yay delivery so i can avoid driving), gone for two walks around my campus (i live at college), done ALL my homework for the upcomming week, made four new Magic the Gathering decks (its a dorkey but great card game), cleaned out my room, taken out the trash, and decided that i will quit smoking this time. I had this revelation about three o'clock today. I ran outa smokes yesterday and was just too buisy (classes, projects etc) to go out and buy some. Before i knew it 3pm rolled around and i was lookin for a butt. Support wise i think this is the worst time for me to quit. This week is anime boston (a convention) and ALL of my friends....every single one of them....EVER ONE.....went......so i have nobody to talk to, cuddle with, or distract myself with. I'm not on great terms with my parents so i'm definitly not going to talk to them. So not only am i bored, loney, tired, hot (boo no AC), and sore (grrr walking) but i'm also ready to kill someone for a smoke. *sigh* if i can hardly make 24hrs, then how do i expect to make it tommorrow. I have an early morning shift (i work in a resteraunt), and an hour long commute to work. Almost everyone i works with smokes, they are all to willing to give me a smoke, and the job is uber stressful so another reason why i want to smoke. But i'll try, again.

Marlboro Smooths??? Peppermint?? is it possible I have been quit from smoking so long they have made new cigarettes?? You don't want to smoke....you NEED to smoke---you are addicted like all of us. SEE it as an addiction and---since you must be young---ask yourself if you want to be an addict. Yes---we are just as bad as those meth, heroin and crack addicts. Our addiction pulls at us, makes us use all sorts of "excuses" to get us to have that cigarette.

STAY STRONG---I hope you make it. I wish I had quit in college---but I'm glad I finally did it now.

Its a choice every single time until you relearn living without smoking.

24 hours? Awesome. tomorrow will probably be hard, but just at the point where it feels like you just can't take it? You've peaked.  It only gets easier!

Stay strong and breathe deep! (breathing deep is the most awesome feeling!)

Absolutely NONe of that will change if you smoke!!! Your friends will still be gone, work will be stressful, it will still take you an hour to get there and well, you get it!! The only thing that can get any better  is your health becasue you can CHOOSE not to smoke!! Take a minute ata time............I am not going to bum a cig right now, I will wait until later and then when later comes say the same thing until you get to the point where those urges or cravings are less frequent!! You can do this..believe in yourself!!
