Sigh. Quitting smoking sucks. As I mentioned in my last entry, I am doing this sans patch. So far, I've been ok (if you count almost taking a butt from the trash and smoking it). It's funny though. Once you stop the habit part, you can really tell just how addictive nicotine is. I was bawling my eyes out for no reason yesterday, but I refused to give in.
It is officially pissing me off that my husband hasn't quit. If I can go one week without smoking (three of those days with no nicotine replacement), then he can quit dammit! It is to the point where whenever I see him smoke, I want to...a) punch him in the face b)take all his cigarettes and c) smoke them all in front of him. I seriously don't know what to do, because frankly, I think he's making it so much harder for me. And it's not like we don't have a good reason for quitting. Grrrrr! See how mad I am? We are supposed to be saving money because of the bills and here he is just smoking away. Well, to be fair, he cut down from over a pack a day to like 5 or 6 cigs a day. But still!!! It makes me so freaking mad. More later when I start freaking out again.

Whoops..Day 5 and Day 6
I totally forgot to blog yesterday about my Day 5. Day 5 was fine. No problems.
Day 6 is going well. I just ate some chinese food (again) and have actually contemplated smoking. Not that I can because there are none in the house, but if there were...I dunno. I might have had one. Or a drag. Something. I'm still feeling sick, all nauseous and gross. How can that happen without the withdrawal? I mean, the patch still gives you nicotine, so how could I possibly go through withdrawal? Sigh. Feeling gross sucks.
This, for the record, is the longest I've ever gone without a cigarette since I started smoking. Soo, hooray for me! My husband is having a harder time, because he isn't using the patch. He doesn't smoke whole cigarettes anymore, but he still hasn't broken the habit part of it. That's where I know I have problems, hence the patch. I hope he kicks it soon though. I want to go down a dose and don't think having him smoke will help me in anyway. :P
Did I mention how freaking good my shampoo smells? :) The sense of smell thing is weird and for the first time, cigarettes smelled really really nasty. I guess that's a good sign. Shame everything else smells really really nasty too. Except for the shampoo. That's good.
