Hah! No was in a meeting and in the state i am in, took a run at my boss on an issue that has been bugging me. He was a little stunned but ok. Yeah, i am having a tough afternoon. I think dream is right about the sugar issue. I need to be careful. Otherwise staying away from outside and other smokers.
Will get some water bottles for tomorrow.

Well if anything good comes of this you have cleared a little bit of the air of what has been bugging you at work... yah... I know ---I bought chocolate (another drug) I am craving sugar and that is making me feel crappy too!!!! Altoids bad for teeth too.... I must have brushed my teeth like 10 times today!

Well just left the office. I made it through without smoking. I made a serious blunder in replacing smokes with Altoids and Candy. I don't think it ever happen to me before but I had a major crash from the sugar. I am someone who never eats sugary foods so I think it came as a suprise. Certainly did not make things easier. In addition my entire afternoon was one unexpected meeting after another that brought my stress level up.

In any case this thread kept me going! I can tell you that from my new friends posting their day to trying to keep me going, it was the reason I didn't. run to the store and blow it (Like I have so many times before). Thanks so much for the good advice and good cheer. I am so proud of all of us. This is a big first step and I am glad we all took it together.

Arghh was just coming on to ask same. Hurdle number 1 done and you have a BIG fan here all of you.

Too funny about the candy and yep it'll do that to you. Maybe try seeds.....pumpkin, sunflower etc. They dont taste too bad and are full of good fats and oils.

Keep it going team!

So I got into wicked fight with my wife and I think I better go to sleep before I start a national crisis. Even with everything that went wrong today, I am still proud of myself and everyone and move on to day 2.

Lessons learned

Not too much sugar
Don't talk to your boss if you have nothing nice to say
Same rules for your wife and kids

Hopefully, I find my sense of humor in the morning

Okay, so I was not successful today. I tried a losenge this morning, but it made me sick. Trying patches tomorrow, just being sure to take them off before bed. It is going to take a lot of willpower to stick one on first thing in the morning, but as long as I don't sleep in it my skin seems to do okay.

Glad to hear that you others did well today! Good on ya!
