I started not buying cigarettes yesterday

I decided the morning of my surgery(Monday) was not the day to quit. Since I couldnt eat or drink until it was done I decided to buy a pack that morning. So I started yesterday instead.

I have been just having small butts out of the ashtray to give me a little bit of nicotine, but they wont last long without buying some so I’ll pretty much be clean today.

I almost didnt quit yesterday because wife was being moody and, among other things, complaining that I dont talk enough.

I showed her that there is a real symptom of schizophrenia called alogia that makes sz tend to not be huge conversationalists. This seemed to satisfy her to some extent.

I may not have it super bad, but Im just not super yappy.

Anywho, I guess I consider this day 2 of not buying cigarettes. By tomorrow there wont be a viable butt and I will be completely tobacco free.

Thanks @magz @Vaiana .

We are going to start adding up what I save on cigarettes and then go spend that money on a new Smart TV. There really is nothing wrong with our current TV, but it would be nice to get a small reward of a bigger and faster one for going without cigarettes.

And TVs really dont cost much anymore so it wont take long to save that much in cigarettes.

I think giving yourself a new tv is a great idea! I know you can do this. It’s not easy but it’s doable.
