Following my doctor's suggestion, I (unsuccessfully) tried quitting cigarettes on Sunday. Holy Crap!!

Less than 24 hours after my last cigarette, I woke up in a cold sweat and panicked; I then proceeded to eat everything in sight, before jumping back into bed, freaking out again, and sleeping for another 14 hours. I woke up feeling so miserable and deprived that, without a second thought and *completely* ignoring the assortment of lozenges and gum I'd laid out, I rushed to the store to get my fix. UGH!

Seems like I'm going to have to prepare my quit very carefully - starting by reading the Carr book to change my attitude, and by stocking up on candy and junkfood
