Noonish
Day four without a cigarette. It’s not getting any easier. I still feel short of breath constantly, but I’m always close to hyperventilating at the same time. My heart starts pounding so hard I’m surprised people around me can’t feel it. Bits and pieces of me go numb for no apparent reason from time to time. Three and a half days and I’ll be through the first week. Things should get easier then.

I hope I get my sense of humor back someday.

Hey, I made it through rehearsal without too much of a problem! (Thanks Dan!) Things are starting to look up. A couple more months and I should be done with this silly smoking thing…
