Woo! Parrish is gonna quit smoking! ^_^
By the way, Parrish, if I had known you smoked, I would've yelled at you to quit ages ago. ^_^;; |

Day Two
Feeling pretty good, but I'm sure that's mostly because I just found out the hurricane headed here has dropped down to a category three, and they think it might get weaker.
It's kind of hard to get ill over not smoking, when you've just gotten *very* lucky. I *have* been coughing a lot more today than usual. I guess my lungs are trying to clear themselves a bit. Parrish |

Oh, I just started on my own. I figured once I'd made up my mind I'd better go ahead and do it.
So start when you want to, Mossopp. I'll cheer you on! Parrish |

Thanks.
I'll admit that I've been a bad girl yet again and had quite a bit to drink tonight, so how's about I start tomorrow? I'm sorry - I feel like such a fake. Everyone else is really looking forward to making their changes and I'm sh#tting myself at the prospect of 14 days sober! I'm worried I won't be able to do it. |

Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to either.
I've quit before, only to start again. I had quit for several years...and started smoking *again*. But maybe this will be the time I'm able to put them away for good. And I won't know, unless I try. Even if you don't last the whole 14 days Mossopp, maybe you can see how long you *are* able to stay sober. Then the next time you try, you can extend it. The only way to be sure to fail, is to not try. And true courage doesn't come from not being afraid, it comes from trying even when you *are* afraid. I believe in you, Mossopp. Parrish |

Mossop,The only way you can truly change for the better is to do it for yourself, not for anyone else. Im sure this wont mean much coming from a stranger, but i can definately relate as to where your coming from. Which is why I wish you and everyone else luck! |

Day three
Still no cigarette, and I have yet to kill someone. However, I am supposed to work tonight, and I'm sure I'll be dealing with the drunken idiots who decide to have a "hurricane party". So I might very well have to hurt someone before the night is over. Parrish |

Mossopp, I think you can drink a bit, but what would be really bad is that you get DRUNK.
Day four of physical training I can't laugh and I can't sneeze. To say the least, my abs HURT. Good thing, tho, is that they're recovering their shape. |

Day 1
OK, here goes...
I woke up this morning at 6.30am with my mouth as dry as the Sahara and a pain in my head like someone was trying to bore through my skull with a blunt drill. And there was me thinking that celebrating my last night before starting this little experiment with a cider and vodka binge was a good idea. I decided to completely wipe the slate clean so I poured what was left in last nights half-empty bottles down the sink. I also gathered up all the empties that I had stuffed under my bed and in the various nooks and crannies in my wardrobe where my mother wouldn’t discover them – I took ‘em all to the recycle bin before I went to work. I felt like sh#t practically all day today – I only started to feel human at around 4pm – so I wasn’t actually as petrified of staying lucid as I thought I’d be on the first day. However, I arrived home from work to discover that my father is sh#t-faced drunk and for the first time in my life I actually found myself envious of the old b#stard! Normally at this time of the evening I’d be pretty gone so it’s kind of strange to be coherent right now. I think I’d almost forgotten what it’s like after 8pm! I don’t have any great plans as to how I’m gonna survive the next 14 days. All I know is I want to make it and as long as I can remind myself of the downside of my habit and not the hazy, fond memories of it then I think I have a chance. I’ve got to look at what it is that makes me drink and avoid getting into the kind of emotional state where I’m left wishing I was out of my face and in some other dimension. I guess this means avoiding my so-called friends, avoiding my parents (not easy, considering I live with them!) and just keeping my mind occupied at all times. I guess I’m also gonna have to cancel that trip to the pub with Sarah that we’d planned for this weekend. Thanks for giving me a bit of a loophole darje, but if I’m gonna do this then I’m gonna have to quit completely. I’m not able to just have one drink and not get drunk. If I have one then I’ve got to have another and another and I won’t stop until I can’t even see my hand in front of my face. That’s how the whole problem started - I can’t resist the first drink and it’s just downhill from then on. Anyway, that’s Day 1 as good as over. I’m gonna get it over even quicker by going to bed earlier than I usually do. I just hope I’m able to sleep. |

Mossopp, I hope you are going to be able quit for the next 14 days. To even start this had to cost a lot of courage..I'm proud of you..I hope that the 14 days won't be too bad. *hugs*
