Had three cigarettes today. One this morning before I left for work at about 7:30am. The second, about 9:00am, the last about 10:40am.
Placed a 21mg Nicotine Trans dermal Patch on my left shoulder at 11:00am.
This is not the first time that I have attempted to quit smoking.
I've managed to quit several times with varying degrees of success. Obviously none of those instances were completely successful.
I am ready to quit smoking.
I am 42 years old. I've been smoking for almost half my life. I'm overweight, I drink too much, I have high blood pressure. I also have 4 daughters and a girlfriend that love me very much. Not to mention my family, friends and co-workers that I'm sure would like to have me around as long as possible.
So today is the day that I become a quitter.
Bully for me! And equal amounts of Bully for my girlfriend Kimberly. Who independently decided that today would be a good day to give up smoking. Must be something in the water.
So I'll chronicle as much as of saga towards healthier lungs as I can remember to. I might even throw in amusing anecdotes of withdrawal and temper tantrums.
This is a Rooster giving you the stink eye.
