Smoking Screwup
Posted on May 1, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Last night (Wednesday) I straight up forgot to put on my new patch. I remembered after I was already in bed, but decided that getting up to change my patch wouldn’t be any better than getting up to have a cigarette. This morning I woke up without the desire to smoke. Around 11am my arm started to itch and I suddenly realized I was stil wearing yesterday’s patch so I removed it and threw it away.
This afternoon I went through…
One Week Tobacco Free - Where’s My Benefits?
Posted on April 27, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
As I type this message I will be passing the one week (7 days / 168 hours / 10080 minutes) mark since I last smoked a cigarette. And all I want to know is where are the benefits?!? Last night Z and I went out for a seafood dinner. Neither my senses of taste nor smell seemed any better then the last time I ate seafood.

72 Hours Tobacco Free - An Apology
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment

The morning started with the return commute to San Jose to finish getting Rover smogged (I promise to post my rant on this tomorrow), but this time I hit major traffic. After being essentially parked on 101 for about 40 minutes I was incredibly grateful that my remaining smokes were in my desk drawer at…

Posted on April 22, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
With my weight loss deadline looming a mere 15 days away I decided to up the ante a bit and stop smoking as well. Note that I did not say “I’m trying to quit smoking again” or anything like that. I was very specific: I have stopped smoking.
While returning fro dropping off Z on Sunday I knew the time had come. I decided to finish off the day and slap a nicotine patch on when I went to bed. I…
Quitting Journal - 12 Hours
Posted on September 26, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz | 1 Comment
Over the last couple of months I’ve been increasingly distressed over the amount of control my 30 year cigarette habit has had over my life.? I’m not stealing car radios or snatching old ladies’ purses to pay for? my habit, but I have been doing things I’d rather not be doing and thinking about my next smoke way too much.? So when I saw a RiteAid ad yesterday showing they had a Buy One Get One Free deal on nicotine…
