So my event went splendidly as predicted by some and it was just great but I don’t have the energy to go into detail. I’m too cranky and I want everyone to know that! Yesterday morning I was supposed to graduate to step three of the nicotine patch but I’m so sick of buying patches. Its like I didn’t really quit smoking because I just keep buying these damn patches and they are nearly as expensive as cigarettes. Anyways, you are supposed to be on the patch for 10 weeks. For three weeks I was on the high dose (first step), then for the past three weeks I’ve been on the second step. I decided that this week I’d be strong enough to go to the third and final step, but I just don’t feel like sticking those stinking itching things on my arms anymore. I’m done. I feel fine going into week six. This is my second day patch free and I think that the nicotine is going to be out of my system soon so we’ll see if I have a stroke or something. And I got myself quite drunk last night and didn’t even have the urge to smoke. If I do feel a strong uncontrollable urge to cut heads off in the next 48 hours, I’ll run out and get step three. Nothing to be ashamed of. I’m quite proud of myself cause I’m a quitter, woohoo.
