my bad habits seem to be going away on their own

which is a good thing because i have no will power. my cigarettes are lasting a lot longer because i don't smoke as much and last night i didn't feel like drinking any alcohol. i ordered a beer out of habit last night and finished the damned thing out of guilt because someone else paid for it.

i really hope this continues. i'm gonna ride this thing out and see how it goes. for now, i'm actually gonna go do some laundry.

 

bad habits get boring too, just not as fast as good ones.

 

drinking definately gets old quick. there's a lot of feeling like shit that comes with drinking.

 

Yeah, I don't like feeling like hell all the time. It's not a hangover, it's 24 hours of being stupid and then feeling lousy.

 

Congrats I'm smoking a lot less than I used to, as well. I've been buying 100's and I always smoke about half of a cigarette and save the other half for later. I just now finished a carton that I bought about 3 weeks ago. lol

 

I have such a strong and unpleasant reaction to the things that never used to bother me. It's like I've become severely allergic. It's handy.

But I've been meditating on quitting and getting healthier before bed every night, with a healthy dose of praying. Then i had about a week of exhausting lucid dreaming ( read: sleep apnea ). I hope this keeps working.

 

That usually lasts a couple days with me at the most, then I fall back into my old ways and go crazy again.

And, now you have made me want a cigarette

 

This appears to be concerted effort, not "on it's own".

 

I didn't do it intentionally. I didn't premeditate the circumstances. But holy crap! Am I ever sick of myself. Is it possible to redirect ones own hypochondria? If so, wouldn't that mean hypochondria is a valid evolved response to physical and mental stressors and if directed properly can produce positive effects?

 

Woot woo!! You GO girl!! Keep with your roll lady. It CAN be done!!!

We quit smoking 2 1/2 months ago and everything has fallen into place since then. I even have lost weight instead of gained it while quitting. Getting a new laptop helped keep me out of the kitchen and away from the fridge.

But, now I'm addicted to internet porn....

 

Hahaha. Internet porn as a quit smoking aid. When I smoke I get tired and I don't eat enough. When I don't smoke I eat more and get more exercise, soi lose weight. It's nice.

 

I've gotten so fat since I quit smoking. Blegh But at least I'm not winded after walking up a couple of flights of stairs.

 

yeah, i'm up and down stairs all the time, so that hasn't really become an issue. it will once all this crap starts coming out, though. but i've been told i don't smoke right anyway. i'm not sure how you can do it wrong...

 

I honestly believe that your body might be responding to your meditations and prayers. But either way, as long as it's helping you, then it is great

 

heh. my version of prayer is "please god, please god, please god..." still, i like it.

 

That is kind of a meditation too... I say, whatever works is the right way to do it.

 

Definitely on that, too. Nothing is going to get done when the mind's not getting it done.

 

I think I should be a stylist. I have a certain style when i try, I like making people feel pretty, chit chat and be accomodating, listening to people, etc. And I'm not the sort to get so attached to people that I mind if they don't remain loyal.

 

I almost want to go back to smoking after this baby is born because I've put on so much weight since giving up and I can't blame it all on the pregnancy as much as I'd like.. I've replaced nicotine with chocolate and that's no good.

 

once you finally deliver, don't forget to wrap your waist tightly. it works REALLY good.
