I think I'm smoking counterfeit cigarettes - Page 6

Well I was thinking you would go to your usual spot. Suck on the TRP until it was gone then return to your desk.

Given the number of licks it takes to get to the center of the TRP, that would take longer than the currently "allowable" amount of time one spends on the porch.

It's a delicate balance, you see.

MrNooddle,

Good luck. I'll be pulling for you. aah not sure that sounds right but....
Chew lots of Nicorette gum and maybe Tylenol for the head aches.

Think of it as a very bad hang-over.

Best Wishes

The physical symptoms seem to have let off already. No headache, except a tiny pressure behind my eyes that could just as easily be allergies this time of year. No joke, quitting American Spirits is physically much less difficult than quitting Luckies was. Maybe all the formaldehyde and broken glass or whatever they're supposed to put in the non-"natural" brands really does make it harder to wean oneself.

I really don't feel bad at all. I wish I had a cigarette, but the craving is quite manageable. We'll see if I feel the same way at 5 p.m.......

mrnoodle · 06-28-2005, 09:47 AM

oh, i just noticed something. my jaws are sore from clenching my teeth for the last 48 hrs. maybe it's a WEE bit hard.

Day 3 -- I think I'm still on the wagon. I didn't smoke a CIGARETTE, anyway. However, what I did smoke resulted in the deaths of a quarter bag of Cheetos (crunchy), a big steak, peanut butter Oreos x6, 3 Chips Ahoy chunky style, a container of yogurt (lemon merengue pie flavored), a bag of microwave popcorn, and 3 cans of sody water.

Oh, and a single bon bon.

Don't combine quitting smoking with other appetite-inducing activities. My colon has filed an official complaint, and I might have to roto-rooter the ball of cheetos out.

staceyv · 06-29-2005, 07:10 PM

I had that sinus pressure when I treid to quit smoking, too!
I quit for 3 months and I couldn't breath through my nose for 3 months.
As soon as I started smoking again, I could smell again.

mrnoodle · 06-30-2005, 10:13 AM

Day 4 -- FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smoked 3 cigarettes halfway through yesterday. Smoked the cigs halfway through, that is.

Smoked another one halfway through just now. It tasted nasty.

Back on the wagon with me.

Undertoad · 06-30-2005, 10:16 AM

That doesn't sound like failure, that sounds like a temporary setback. Good luck!

One of my friends quit last year. He will occasionally give in to temptation. He has given into temptation 7 times. Twice during Forks.

Well, next time point him out and we can tackle him. Or better yet, get the ladies to tackle him, it might just distract him.

Same here....except for the sense of smell went years ago. Constantly stuffed up when not smoking...can't breathe or hear.
