Gaining confidence in my ability to discover other things to do instead of smoking. I feel like I want to push to the next level; however, that has proven bad in the past. If I push too hard, I regress.

Thursday, this is a busy day where I leave the house three or four times. Because I don’t smoke in the car or while in public, I feel a need to spoke before I leave. This needs fixing.
Lesson learned: Pace is everything, but staying away from the smoking station helps too.
I quit again on Saturday. I’ve give a pinky toe for a cigarette right now.
As long as it’s only a pinky toe, you are doing great!
Have you tried an electronic cigarette? I honestly say its not for everbody, and even to tell you the honest truth I don’t even think it helps, i’m still dependent on it. I haven’t had a real cigarette since New Years. I get a balance on the nicotine with the Ecig–if I don’t smoke it often–but still the habit urge as I refer to it is still here. Can’t shake that either.
I cannot do nicotine therapy because my heart rate is already unstable. I smoke low nicotine cigarettes and could go half a day without an urge to smoke, but I pick a cigarette up by habit if I am bored, stressed, or tired. If I could just break the physical habit, the nicotine would be cake.
I blame the habit formations. Was always just something to do in the meantime. The nicotine therapy has held me off. I use high nicotine content, but you’re right my heart rate tends to shoot up.
