Day 3 :) - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

bahookie · 12-03-2005, 02:29 AM

Good morning!

Just read your posts and yes, this is the stupidest time of year for packing in smoking! Parties, nights out, they are all lined up in front of me, even a trip to Rome next week where they smoke like chimneys. And they have cheap cigarettes!

I had a couple of glasses of wine last night and boy does nicotine chewing gum not go with shiraz. BLEH! I've got a first birthday party to go to this afternoon and an adult housewarming tonight tonight but thankfully noone will be smoking at either of them.

The mornings are THE HARDEST times, and what's worse is that I'm coughing my lungs up! I guess it's a good thing, they are having a spring clean. I've found that if you drink really strong black coffee it gives a kind of caffeine rush that could kind of be mistaken for the first drag of a smoke.

LOL how desperate is that?

I like the idea of nuts to shell - I'm going to get some today.

I can feel the difference already - can you?

Hiya, Jane!
Yea, I can feel the differenced. I'm not coughing up a lung every morning as I try to make up for a night without nicotine.

Good going for day 3!!! Keep it up!

Shalom!

Yay for us!

Not getting too confident here but feeling quite good about myself. I have to say though, that if after the wine i found myself checking the pockets of my outdoor clothes, "just to make sure there are no old packets of smokes in there"

Yeah, right.

I think I'll avoid wine for a wee while...like you it seems to the road to complete loss of gumption.

Keep it up Teach, I'm following in your footsteps here!

Hehehe
I'm following in Roxy's footsteps; and nogards and unspun and Magic and...
But, here's something I think may be more appropriate:

Quote:

"Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Albert Camus
Maybe this is the best way; a group of friends walking this path together.

Shalom!

Jane, I am using the gum also. I like the original flavor Nicorette 4mg. I also have straws cut up ( a tip from a friend of mine) and they are helping

I now smoke my staws! LOL

Funny thing though, I found one WITH a piece of nicorette gum stuck to it, while making the bed the other morning??? I never smoked in bed, but I do chew my gum.

Guess we will all have great tips and stories to share...
GOOD LUCK!!!
