No Day 3 Update // I'm Feeling Pretty Crappy

No two ways about it:

I FEEL LIKE CRAP.

I knew this was coming. I had pangs of it on the second day, but truly and utterly I am going through withdrawal. Even with the nicotine patch, which administers 21mg of nicotine but over an extended period of time, I can feel my body screaming out, in desperate need of a cancer stick.

I'm pissy, irritable and every little thing seems to be frustrating the hell out of me. In the last five minutes the following things have pissed me off far more than they should have:

// Trying to push open the door to the store and then realizing it can only be pulled open

// Having the work computer freeze on me, which made me so enraged I began slamming down the enter key until my co-worker politely asked me to stop

// Misspelling the word "nicotine" in an IM I was sending to a friend

// Getting a frappucino from a customer (for freez!) and then having it spill on the store counter, which was entirely my fault as I tried to pour it into another cup

// Hearing Leonardo DiCaprio exclaim, for the third time today so far, that: "This car is a piece of shit!" as Body of Lies plays on loop in the store

// The word "smashing" as a euphemism for knocking boots (which I prefer as a euphemism for banging)

// The fact that gMail was down

And generally every other thing that happens to go slightly wrong. If I'm short with you today, I'm sorry, I'm trying my best, but I'm not feeling so hot right now.

you can do it, man. that said, reading your blog has inspired me to go smoke a cigarette. I tried to quit last week. I smoked my last one at 5PM and then got drunk and bought another pack at like 9. That is so saddening

don't worry man, I've been there, I can't even count how many times I said I was going to quit then immediately smoked another one. you'll come to it in your own time. also, ive been avoiding booze like the plague because I just know it's going to trigger cravings.
