A Day Without the Patch

Phew, today wasn't easy. I decided to go without nicotine replacement today — meaning without the nicotine patch. I wanted to see how bad it still is — and let me tell you, my friends, it was bad.

Today I really wasn't the greatest company for my colleagues. Headaches all day long, super irritable, anxious and unfocused. But I made it through the day without smoking. I've genuinely never managed that before without a patch or gum.

From what I've read, this withdrawal should last about three days. So it's going to be a really wonderfully relaxing weekend at home — but I just have to get through it.

Other than that, everything was fine today, the evening workout did me good. I just didn't manage to hit my sweets goal — I had to grab something to calm myself down a little.
