Thanks Lotus, still hangin in there at 5 days 15 minutes. My body has stopped screaming. The worst is definitely over as far as pain goes, but the committee in my head has other ideas. I was laid-off from my job last Monday and have now decided to change everything. Since quitting nicotine all my goals and desires have changed, is this normal? I am now faced with the pressure of trying to find a new job while quitting smoking, or staying quit, I should say. The two seem slightly incompatible for me, lol. There is nothing I abhor more than looking for a new job.
Anyway, a few minutes ago my mind suggested that I just go buy a pack and smoke until I find a job. Since I will be up a creek anyway if I don't find a new job soon, might as well make the search easier while smoking. I could just quit again a couple weeks into my new job. But I am determined this time to not smoke, and I thank you Joel for repeating the mantra NEVER TAKE ANOTHER PUFF! I really wish I could have chosen a more rational time to quit, but this is it. And besides, since when have I ever thought rationally? If anyone has any suggestions to make my job search easier, I would really welcome it. Lately it has been nearly impossible for me to speak on the phone, much less put my happy face on and go to an interview.
