That was the time that I (hopefully) smokes my last cigarette. So far so good, but I imagine its just gonna become more annoying from this point on. But alas, I need something mindlessly busy to keep my mind from wandering for a while, so I figured I'd come back here for a little while to bitch.
Still not sure which part of quitting is harder: the addiction to nicotine, the feeling of inhaling smoke, or the oral fixation part. I imagine its a mix of the 3 with different ones being more present than others at certain times.
I have a lovely box of blow pops next to me (half blackberry which are amazing, and half watermelon, a classic) and 2 bags of ricola to help with the oral fixation part (and partially to assure that I look like a dork sucking on blowpops)
Every 10 minutes or so, I get the thought in my head "oh, I know what would help...a cigarette! ...wait...no..." so thats been mildly amusing to me.
In other news, I'm currently filling up a friends iPod with music that I don't think I'd have ever listened to otherwise...and at the same time making sure she gets a lot of stuff she'd never have heard of. I'm also currently enjoying a nice chamomile tea while chewing on the gum from my last blackberry blowpop. Tonight, it will most likely be more 24 episodes (watched the first 8 in season 2 yesterday) and perhaps yesterday's Rome and Friday's Real Time with Bill Maher. I'm thoroughly enjoying the insane fast pace that 24 goes at.
Alas, more later when I have something more entertaining than blowpops, ricola, and chamomile to discuss
