Yet again about not smoking: Journal 1/8/07
Bars are quickly becoming my arch nemisis. It’s turning into this massive love-hate relationship. It’s the quickest way to meet people or enjoy an evening with current friends. Socially, it’s the cat’s pajama’s. And I’m not talking about drinking in particular, rather just spending time surrounded by music and chatter.Â
But last night when I went to bed, I stunk. Bar’s really smell disgusting, don’t they? Of course I always knew this but since I’ve stopped smoking, it’s become painfully apparent. But my goodness! My jeans. My jacket. My skin. Even though a cigarette didn’t touch my lips, it seemed to seep into every pore none-the-less. The worst part was my hair. I thought I could see little stink waves coming off of me like that Peanuts character.
bleh.
I’m turning into that ex-smoker who talks crap about all the things she used to do. I’m such a hypocrite.
On a completely different, topic… props to Tina! Last night we all watched the L Word premiere in Chicago and she scored copies of the 2nd episode a week before it’ll be aired. My guilty pleasure #43.

I know exactly what you are going through. I gave up 2 weeks before New Year. It’s amazing how you can’t smell it when you smoke, but after a few days, everywhere you go, putrid smokers are stinking up the joint, haha.
I am on the patches, I have tried to short-track what the instructions said should be in excess of 12 weeks, I’ve dropped the strength 3 weeks in a row and now I’m on the weakest ones.. but, I couldn’t have done it without suplementing them with the 4mg lozenges, which kill the cravings, but taste awful and make you burp and hiccup.
So, I’m still addicted, but my lungs feel great and I don’t stink. I try to think of the vast amounts of cash I am saving.
