Just checking in, and getting some thoughts out. I'm starting day 3 (except for the 1/2 smoke yesterday morning), but this morning I wizzed right by the gas station. I'm so determined to do this. I'm on the correct patch now (21mg versus the 14mg I was on) so today seems much better. Work doesn't seem to be a problem. Stress for me is the problem. Anytime I have had any type of stress in my life, I would light up. It didn't remove the stress, just delayed it for 7 minutes while I smoked. The cigerette didn't make the stressor go away, it didn't give me a solution, and physically it was stimulating me rather than calming me down. I am currently trying to come up with ways to deal with stress. For example, the holidays, even though a time with family and friends, also a stressor. My husband was trying to discuss what was going to be on the menu for our Thanksgiving dinner last night, and as he is talking to me, I could feel the horns sprouting out of the top of my head....WHY! The conversation didn't end well, and I accussed him and his mother (whom he hasn't even discussed Thanksgiving with yet) of conspiring against me....what kind of lunatic am I! I ended up going to bed at 7:00 p.m., for fear he would call the gentleman in white coats to come take me away because I had lost all touch with reality. Anyways, my goal the next couple of days is to wait 10 seconds before allowing my razor mouth to speak. It is not my husband's or my kid's fault that I am certifiable, and a nice long pause before answering or speaking might just keep me from the funny farm. Thanks for listening!
