Day Two Sucks
So it's day two of my quit smoking cold turkey adventure, and I am pretty much a nutcase. I've almost smoked around fifty times, and have been quite jittery since I hit the 35 hour mark.
I drank a pot and a half of coffee this morning. Each mug seems to stave off the craving for ten minutes or so. It takes around ten minutes to finish a cup, so I basically just kept sucking it down for three hours straight.
I finally drank enough so as to be unsure whether I have the jitters from caffeine or from nicotine withdrawal, which is easier for me to deal with than knowing for a fact that it's the latter. I don't know why this is true, but that's just where I'm at right now.
There's also a huge bag of sunflower seeds here, which I probably never would have thought of. Kelly left them lying here, and they are doing a good job of giving me something to do with my mouth.
Between the salty seeds and all that coffee, I'm thirsty. I switched to water a while ago, still thirsty. And grumpy. Good thing there's nobody else here, or I'd probably be less-than-pleasant company for the unlucky person(s).

Just remember Chris...quitting isn't for wimps!
You've got to power through the craves and look for help when you need it...
Hi there, KIDDO! Chris, keep your eye on the PRIZE! Over 1 million people QUIT SMOKING PERMANENTLY EACH YEAR. I know I am one of them and I expect you to join those ranks, too. It's a rough road for the first few days but you are prepared well. I read that men have an easier time quitting because their brain is wired differently than a woman's. Let's see if they told the truth.
You guys are awesome, I'm gonna hang tough!
