I finally managed to quit smoking. It took me awhile, but I did it. Now, for those of you even thinking of picking up the habit, let me explain something to you. I seriously thought it would be easy to quit. I didn't understand why smokers couldn't just stop smoking, but I really couldn't. Also, understand that you will eventually have to quit. It may be after you start coughing up blood, but you will have to quit. Let me just tell you exactly what I went through to quit. First, there was the standard irritability and overall nastiness. This was basically like being on my period to the next power. Although I didn't have it as bad as some. I've seen my mom take a door off the hinges while trying to quit smoking (I'm not exaggerating and unfortunately she wasn't able to quit.) Fortunately, this only lasts for three days while the nicotine leaves your system (if it lasts longer than that you have problems other than cigarette smoking). Oh, and for those of you smoking, waving around your cigarettes while I was going through this, let me just say, I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL DISMEMBER YOUR BODIES, BURN THEM, AND SACRIFICE THEM TO THE CIGARETTE GODS...by the way, I would not recommend driving in this condition. Unfortunately, I had to. I drove 70 mph no matter what the speed limit was. After you get over this, all of you have to do is deal with the finger fetish, the need to do something with your hands. I solved this by increasing my video game consumption (I beat Zelda: Ocarina of Time in one day and got a new high score on Pyramids.) However, there are still more problems to go. Second, while I was dealing with my irritability, my sex drive just died. I mean completely. This wasn't so bad considering that for most people it goes up (I don't even know what I would have done in this situation.) The only major problem was having waaaaaaay too much energy and not knowing where to put it (although this may have been from the fact that my caffeine intake went way up while I was trying to quit.) I ended up completely reorganizing my whole room and I started doing mathematics FOR FUN! I also scared the hell out of all my animals when I started running around the house chasing them, also for fun. Lastly, after you finish with the irritability and an increase/decrease of sex drive, I got to the real fun part. All I did for the rest of the week was cough up shit (ooh, sexy). I don't mean just regular spit, I mean horrible tasting, brown, tar-laced loogies. This is actually the worst part. Hopefully, after it's all done, I'll be completely free of the addiction and not have to go through that again.
