WordPress: Making Amends

Looks like Matt now understands the real problem and is making good efforts to recover from the incident.  Exchange of comments to Shelly's post, in particular, has some excellent tips for public relations which set Matt on the right course.

In retrospect, I must admit I was (and am still!) in a highly irritable state of mind.  It's been a little over 10 days since I quit smoking and I am starting to crater already.  I think I can...Choo-Choo! (sound of me chewing niccotine lozenges)...I think I can...

you absolutely cna make it,
It's the first 7 days that was the most intolerated. you had made it, you certainly can go through it.
Don Park -

Take it from me - I quit 8 years ago - all the hardship is in the beginning, (which ends) - the joy of quitting will make you feel invincible.
You can do it Don.
Don...good luck with it. I'm going to start stopping (if that makes sense) at the end of the month. Patches have been purchased.
Congrats Don, keep us updated.
Thanks guys. I am still choo-choo-chewing although the instruction say I shouldn't. It's a scene out of Desperate Unsmokers.

I am goint to start on april 12
I stopped smoking a little more than 4 weeks ago. I still get irritated very easily - maybe it's perfectly normal and it's going to stay like that, we were just abnormally chilled when smoking :-)
Egad. What a thought.

Good luck to you on this hardest of habits. I quit smoking cigs about 14 months ago, weed about 2 months ago and have begun a jihad against salt and trans-fats that's in it's third week. I guess you never quite run out of things to quit (especially as you get older), but like steven tyler of aerosmith said, once you quit drugs, there's lots more time for sex and rock n' roll.

Just remember, you don't have to think about a lifetime of not smoking, just that you're only going to skip the next smoke.
