Stop Smoking

Two days down, ? to go. Day 2 was a really good day. The weather was incredible for this time of year (though, it won’t last long) and the lady wanted to go for a walk. But more on that later.

The patch was on my right bicep today. I got the same achy feeling in my lower right arm bones that I experienced yesterday. Hopefully this will go away. It’s not really painful, just an annoyance.

I smoked a lot less today… only five cigarettes. Pretty good, I’d say. I think it helped that I spent a big chunk of my evening hanging out with the lady. We went for a walk by the Scioto and then to DSW to look for some new work shoes for each of us. After that, it was dinner at Whole Foods Market. We had their special of the day: scallops, shrimp, calamari, and something that was ring-shaped all on some kind of fucilli pasta in a white wine sauce. It was great, despite the calamari. Then we got some gelato and sorbet and walked around the store for a while.

All of that managed to keep me busy and I don’t think I thought about cigarettes once, except for when I noticed the patch poking out from the bottom of my t-shirt sleeve. I’ll have to remember to keep it higher up on my arm when I am wearing short sleeves.

I didn’t sign up for the Committed Quitters website yet, but maybe on Day 3?
