  1. Team, I bought a pack of cigarettes last night.

    Smoked one. #vspQuits

    It... tasted awful. And gave me none of the reprieve I once had from nicotine.

    Tasted like I was licking a brick. Grouty. Stank. Blegh.

    So, after finishing the cigarette, I had to swirl and rinse my mouth out, as the stone and brick taste remained.

  3. Calling it.

    At 1,333 hours (or 55 days), I have successfully quit smoking. No cigarettes, no Sonic, no vaping, no nothing.

    I had two cigarettes tonight.

  7. 651.

    Had a *bad* craving today. Finished a shift. Was tired after a long week.

    #VSPQuits🚭

    I have to remind myself... that being tired is human. If I wasn't tired, if I didn't have that sense of expensed energy, I'd be ignoring what my body is telling me.

    And smoking didn't even replace that tiredness with energy: just masked it for a moment, without adding anything positive.

  9. Oh no.

    My sense of smell has returned.

    #vspQuits 🚭

    Good for the food, terrible for the other smells. Goddamn. The world smells weird.

  11. Alright.

    Turns out, drinking a metric oodle of coffee and not getting enough sleep are triggers for my smoking.

    Also, just passed the 120 hours mark.

    Easiest quit yet.

  13. Alright.

    I'm at hour 30 of the latest attempt at quitting smoking.

    #VSPQuits #NoSmoking #QuitSmoking

    I even made a spreadsheet. It has sparkline bar graphs that are colour-coded as the hours tick by.

    I just enter in my quit date and time, and it kicks back timing, money saved, days nicotine free and a little progress bar for each step.

    ...

    I can report back that... it does not ease the cravings.

  15. 264 hours.

    It feels like a small baby is sitting on my chest and my whole body aches. And my chest also feels tight. Ended up leaving early from crashing an event tonight because of it. 😣

  19. Well, at 145 hours, I'm going to call it.

    Quit achieved.

    Now it's just a mental game and fighting off the non-physical cravings.

    Thank you for the positive vibes. On to the next project.

  21. Smoking was my friend.

    It sparked my creativity, was my muse.

    It numbed the sadness, and moderated the victories. It eased me to sleep, and shocked me to wake. From dawn to dusk, it was there.
