Quitting Day...
Well, today it is offical. I have quit smoking for good this time as I will explain in a bit. But before that a few updates:
This weekend was awesome. Comicon was unbelievable. I never felt more normal than being there among the nerd community. Twas very nice, and also very damaging to my checkin account as I went well over the limit I secretly set for myself. Though it was worth it for I was able to split a box of ninth with Haloco and even picked up the soundtracks to Stand Alone Complex and Full Metal Alchemist; two of my favorite anime series'. The damage was also lessened a bit because I was able to meet some cool online comicbook artists as well as an MTG artist who drew the infamous Johnny Combo Player. After much walking about the Comicon the Ruckus sans VixXxen and Cena walked some more(1 mi plus) to the McD's down River Road. The replenishment of both food and fluid was much needed, and as an added bonus we were able to link up with dangly who also procured much enjoyment out of the Comicon as well.
As a quick sidenote, I have discovered that no matter what con you go to in geek theme there shall be a Jedi, Trooper, or Boba every step of the way. I have a theory that if there was a con named "NotaStarWarsCon" they would still be there. Oh well, they add much color to the Con scene.
As for the quitting. I have recently gotten on Welbutrin as per help from my doctor. Welbutrin is the antidepressant name for the anti-smoking drug called Zyban. Basically, Welbutrin will help me deal with the anxiety and depression that is associated with withdrawal from a chemical dependancy. Today was my set quit date that I chose with the advise from my doctor. In 7 days from today I shall be over the physical addiction to nicotine. Seven days later I while have gotten through the toughest week of my quitting battles (twas the second week that broke me the first time I tried quitting cold-turkey 2 months ago). Hopefully all goes well and I will soon be rid of the damned habit.
Yet, despite this happy occasion I believe I have stumbled upon something. It appears that there is a hump that haunts a friendship. One that seems to be crossed, but rears it's ugly head everytime everything seems to be finally heading in the right direction. It is starting to become discouraging, and I am wondering if I may be one source of the hump. I don't know, but unfortunately, I don't think this is the right place to discuss this.
Untill next time, Mahala
