Uprights quitting Journal - just especially for Craig

Postby upright on Wed Oct 15, 2008 2:34 pm

Day 1: 15th October

Not a great start. Got up. Took ZMA on my empty stomach. just waiting for it to go down before breakfast. Body is cannabalising itself from within. Feck it had a fag.

Thoughts: that was nice.

If you're bullying me into smoking more, it's working well - just had another.

Thoughts: Not as nice as the first.


Fags remaining in pack: 1

More thoughts: I wonder if there are any patches knocking about? There's one I unwapped the oher week in the kitchen, I wonder if the gluey stuff is still good.

The patches always used to make my skin itch

I tried the patches for a bit, but they made me cough so I went back to Rizlas.

lol. I quit having started (sort of) on the back of giving up the herb this year. Even after a transitional month that was tough and as Rab said I think I class myself as a smoker that doesn't smoke, because I still crave a cigarette every so often (mainly with a glass of wine).

Good luck mate, be strong!

Why thankyou guys. I suppose I'll have to make some kind of effrot then. Personally, I get on with patches. after he initial skin site irritation, which lasts about half an hour, I don't even want to bite my fingers. It's when they run out I struggle, I head straight for the nearest fag shop...

What about those nicotine inhalers? For me i think it was the action of smoking itself that I liked, so they might have worked well.

I've tried a few things before. I had a couple of those things you blast up yer nose - they were awful. I bought a pack of nicotine gum once when I was lashed- I just chewed n chewed and the inside of my mouth felt like i was burning - you're only supposed to chew every now and then which is daft so I winged the rest of them. The wench in the stop smoking clinic tried me on this tab you stick under yer tongue and it disolves slowly - that was shite, just burnt my mouth like the gum.

Best thing I've had is fags and patches. Patches don't make my fingers taste as nice but then I don't feel like chewing them cos I can't smell them I suppose...

haha - you've got it all wrong mate. My lady doesn't nor ever will smoke. If I tell her I'm quitting, she'll be round the corner buying them for me. I may have her post on here after to give you her account of what it's been like in the past when I've tried to quit. Mind you, I think just telling her triggers something in her brain that says "he's quitting so he's gonna be a big arsehole and I'm not having it and will tell him he's a horrible bastard at any opportunity"

When I fell of the wagin first time, it took her a while to realise as I was chewing mints and only smoked to and from work. Then, each time I get more and more lazy about it until last time I thought, Hang on, I'm doing this for me, what's it got to do with her anyway. But last time I only quit for a week cos I didn't have any money for fags and payday was a week off. So I thought on payday, I'd buy a pack and smoke em and then quit poperly. Then I thought, I'd like a drink at the end of the week and have a smoke and then quit and here we are...

Anyways, Just had a nice big portion of spagbol and me last fag. Have checked all nooks and cannys for patches and have only the one I ripped open on payday and didn't have time to stick on before work so stuck it in my pocket with my cashcard... So I have a small dilemma as I'm supposed to be training tomorrow which leaves no time in my day for getting to town for a pack of patches. Even more irritating is paying for them - I need to make a doctors appointment and need to force the issue of a rolling script. And, it's halloween soon and there have been some good offers on big tubs of sweets and bags of mini bars and the house is full of that sort of shit at the moment.

And it's Xmas soon and I usually come in from work, get myself a wee dram of brandy, an extra special mince pie laced with brandy and a big dollop of brandy cream and half an hours light entertainment and a bit of a stare at the twinkly tree when I get in from work and then you guessed it - a nice fag :mrgreen:

Just quit, patches are for pussies, the withdrawal symptoms only last 3 days. If you get drunk and buy fags then bin them in the morning.

Try life without alcohol and nicotine you'll feel so much better you get your kicks out of a sunny day, a great PB down the gym or picking up some dirty slag and banging her hard against the wall :mrgreen: .

I get loadsa kicks outta sunny days and PBs. I get PBs on every lift every session at the moment. I drink once a month maybe not even that this year. I'd have to actually get out of this fecking house to pick up a dirty slag unless I want a stick insect with speed bumps which is all we have at work. Maybe I should bang your headagainst a wall

I feel like a really close old friend has taken me to the side and had his last attempt at saving me :oops: With you being a Jock and the subject matter, it reminds me of a scene in Star Wars Attack of the Clones

Dodgy guy "you wanna buy some death sticks?"

Obi Wan *wave of hand* "you don't want to sell me death sticks"

Dodgy Guy "I don't want to sell you death sticks"

Obi Wan *wave of hand* "you want to go home and rethink your life"

Dodgy Guy "I want to go home and rethink my life"....

Cheers Jock! I'm moving up your end where I'll get the love, support and all the hair gel an abused kid could ever wish for :mrgreen: I may even call you Pa and you can take me fishing for discarded rape victims with Uncle Cleavage

Now then, my update:

Emotional state: Joyous - just finishd work
Determination level: F(&ing Intense - I WILL have a shake and sleep like a Beauty
Aggression level: Nil - Enjoyed listening to the start of Chris Moyles radio show - reminded me of Xmas (why?)
Cheese status: I think we have some cheshire in but that's shit on toast cos it don't melt properly
Strength state: Very little - unless old bad breath is feeling randy and has eaten a pack of mints and is lying in wait..
CV state: Craig said it should improve if I quit fags
Stamina: I reckon I can go at least 2 hours without a fag when I get up
Endurance: is that the same as stamina?
Body composition: Bone, Fat, Organs, alot of water -
Sleep status: Not yet
Health: 10% - improving cos Craig said if I quit fags it would. I also have a tight lower back that is making me less dynamic and bending backwards is a little sore. I'd see the quack about it but he'll just tell me don't bend backwards but that's gonna comprimise my abilty to masterbate in interesting places.

Emotional state: Neutral
Determination level: out of 10 about 2
Aggression level: out of 7 about 20 - breakfsat is gonna fucking get it
Cheese status: As before, maybe it's a little harder
Strength state: Very little, around 5.5 hours sleep
CV state: Getting better
Stamina: Very little, dfinately piccking tonight and have no motivation to do anything else
Endurance: is that the same as stamina?
Body composition: Bone, Fat, Organs, alot of water -
Sleep status: Crap
Health: 1.5%

Poo sleep. Woke up a litle early first time round at about 13:30. That sucked, but comically, my patch was stuck to my left nipple which is not where I put it. So I ripped it off and binned it and now have no patch and no time to go get any before the school run and likely no chance today at all. Feel like spewing up, look like a zombie. Feel like the hungry caterpillar.

Blah. Whatever. I'll be getting patches for at least a week if this is gonna work - or I could just have the odd fag here and there. We'll see - anyway it's breakfast time :mrgreen: something laden in sugar I think maybe some crunchy nut.
