    Default Five more minutes....

    A week or so before Christmas, I started to wait five more minutes before having a cigarette. Really for no other reason than to see if I was able to resist the urge for five minutes.

    I did, and I turned it from a pack a day to half a pack a day pretty quickly. Since Christmas afternoon, my waiting five minutes has turned into waiting 7 days today. So far, the last 7 days have been the longest five minutes of my life. New Years day, the wife packed up the kids and left for her parents. The heathen, has developed a flinch if I make any sudden movements. I truly feel sorry for anyone who has had to spend time around me lately, because I am sure that I have been the furthest thing from even tolerable.

    Everyone tells me congratulations, but I am not quitting....I am just going to wait 5 minutes before having one.

    Think about all of those dollars saved and the lifestyle you'll be glad to have in the next 5 minutes.

    Hell, every time I try to quit Copenhagen, my fiancé insists that I wait until she goes out of town for a few days. Letting go of nicotine is the most challenging thing I have ever attempted. I suck at quitting!!!

    Cranky, huh? Glad you waited 5 minutes before you went to the store the other night. 7 days in, you are on the downhill slide. Just give it 5 minutes, and you'll feel better. Maybe I should wait 5 minutes before I pack my lip? I think I'll wait until duck season passes first.

    The hardest thing about waiting a little while before I have one was the drive to work this morning. So far I have been able to do different stuff, breaking the "routine"...except this morning, back to work.

    I was called "fucking evil" the other day by someone who never says the word fuck.

    Don't give in to the devil. Been going on 3/yrs for the wife and I. Still dream on occasion that I smoked 1 then would wake up and thank the lord. Used to do 2/pks aday with no problem. The money we have saved kept me going in the early days. Take that money everyday you quit and put it up and count it after a weeks time. Then a month, then a year. You will be amazed. Try to stay with it
