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…
Dieting And Quitting Smoking DO Mix! Who Knew?
Posted on April 30, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
Despite all of the “common wisdom” out there that says people gain weight when they quit smoking I decided to reisk my forward (or is that downward?) momentum on my weight loss goal by quitting smoking as well. It’s now been 10 days without a cigarette (wow! I actually had to look that up 
) and in that time I’ve…
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…
72 Hours Tobacco Free - An Apology
Posted on April 23, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz, Health Care | Leave a Comment
I passed the 72 hour mark without smoking a cigarette a few short minutes ago. Overall today was definitely easier than yesterday. But it still had its challenges.
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…
Approaching 48 Tobacco Free Hours - Getting Edgy
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…
Creating Long Term Goals
Posted on November 8, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
I’ve been struggling with Z over the idea of long term goals and the concept that one must sacrifice some things in order to achieve greater things. Disc Golf was supposed to be a lesson in this but the girl simply refuses to practice and when she does so there’s not much I can do about it but watch her…
Another Hidden Tobacco Tax - Surety Bonds
Posted on November 5, 2007 - Filed Under Taxes | Leave a Comment
As a long time smoker, the issue of tobacco taxes has always been of interest to me. I’ve written here before about how I avoid all tobacco taxes and save huge amounts of money as a result. However, I just today learned about another hidden tax on tobacco that we seldom hear about: Cigarette Tax Bonds.
According to JW Bond Consultants, a…
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.?…
