Cold cut turkey sandwhich with a side of satisfaction.

Today marks my first week.  A friend even asked me to pick a pack of smokes up for her before I got to work.  I have little aspiration to light up, for the past week would have been a waste.  I'm going for my first run after I write this, wish me luck!

MOST ENCOURAGING THING I'VE HEARD YET.  I FOUND THIS SITE 4:30 AM TODAY AS I WAS GOING INTO MY 3RD DAY.  BY FAR THE WORST, THOUGH I WAS LAUGHING WHEN I READ ABOUT THE WEIRD SYMPTOMS.  I WAS RIGHT THERE AND HAVE BEEN THERE ALL DAY.  I'M COLD TURKEY AND IT'S MY 1ST REAL ATTEMPT TO QUIT IN MY LIFE.  I'M A STRESS BALL SO I CHAIN SMOKE WHEN I'M NOT AT WORK AND HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR 35 YEARS.

I HONESTLY COULDN'T TYPE THIS AM BECAUSE MY BODY WAS BETRAYING ME.  BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE
