I Tried and I Failed ... and I'm Tired and Weary .

I love that song by the Notting Hillbillies although I can't find it on itunes. Anywho!

I bought a pack this morning.

R and I went to vote at 7am. We waited outside in line for about a half hour, then a man came out and recruited people with the last name between P-Z. R said oh - that's me! And left my side. He was done 10 minutes later. I wasn't done a half an hour later. I was pissed. A funny story though - a couple that had been in front of us had the same dealio happen, dude left the line... so he came back, kissed her and said see honey, you should have taken my last name! haha
that made me laugh... but yeah, I was PISSED that they didn't treat the lines more fairly - so I sent a note to the election board this morning when I returned home after 8am. Annoying.

I then decided on my way to work the torture of not smoking wasn't worth it and that I would only have a few today. I plan to stick to that cuz I want to quit... I just don't know quite how to handle my frustration in life without smokey treats by my side... once I figure that out I think I will have them beat.

anyways... my co-worker is leaving 2 hours early to vote. I am kinda thinking... wtf? I coulda stayed in bed instead of being responsible and getting up early enough to not be late for work? Such is my life...

Happy Tuesday!

You have to make up your mind and just do it. It is one of the hardest things I ever did because I smoked menthol which is even worse. Then I quit menthol and went to regular cigarettes and it was easier to give them up. Don't get discouraged.

I arrived to vote AT 6:30 A.M. and the door was open but those senior citizens all started yelling at me asking what I was doing in there and I said I came to vote? They said, you know we don't open until 7:00 a.m. (if I did I wouldn't be there?)...they were like really angry. I said, I'm sorry I thought you opened at 6:00 a.m. One lady said I need to leave right now? Okay and off I went...I came back at 11:30 a.m. and it took me 5 minutes. I don't want to reinforce the fact to make it harder for you, but quitting cigs is a real challenge...

At least the voting lines weren't any longer. Good luck on stopping smoking. I did it (pipe) for years. It's not easy quiting.

I hear quitting is the hardest thing anyone ever has to do. When you want it badly enough you will find a way that works for you.
FYI Yes on Prop 2!

Some of the people who care about you care whether you quit. It increases your risk for a number of health problems, which you probably know.

Your post about smoking as your friend sounded like a good
analogy. Some friends are bad influences

I can preach about it, if you want fuel to spur you, but don't want to annoy you.

Thank you for voting.
comment by fredo on Nov 4, 2008 9:17 AM ()
You won't quit until you actually do it. It's going to be hard.

You can do it
comment by stiva on Nov 4, 2008 9:11 AM ()
I'm leaving work early, too... but that's cuz I'm trying to make it home in less than 3 hours.
comment by mrsstu on Nov 4, 2008 8:59 AM ()
I would see someone about that... I know you've tried quitting drugs but get the gum and try to manage it. Your health is worth it.
comment by spicybitch on Nov 4, 2008 8:15 AM ()
Perhaps the reason you are irritable is because of the quitting.
comment by spicybitch on Nov 4, 2008 7:58 AM ()
It's weird I can be some where I can't smoke and I am fine-but as soon as I can I will.
comment by grumpy on Nov 4, 2008 7:50 AM ()
quitting is so hard! Especially when you have high stress levels going on. Can you tell them at work you haven't voted yet so you can get off early too?
