Fingers on Triggers

I'm not sick! I'm just breathing differently and have snot coming from every organ that held it!

So I've been trying to figure out what makes me smoke. What I've figured so far is: 

BOREDOM
WORK (SEE "BOREDOM")
HUNGER

Yes, I use cigarettes when I'm hungry... to keep myself from eating. I don't think I have an eating disorder or anything, but I think it's almost like grabbing something quick and easy and just snacking... which doesn't work for me. I can run to grab something quick and easy (most people think of a Clif Bar or something) and I get a large #2 with cheese and a Coke. 

So last night I went out and wasn't at all interested in spending most of my night standing outside smoking cigarettes, which is my usual Thursday night routine, so I guess that's a good thing. 

Oh, and work... grrr... I'm not thrilled with my job at this time, but let me tell you... lunch is a killer. I used to have a routine of 1 cigarette before eating, 2 cigarettes afterward. I felt that this averaged to 1 cigarette every 20 minutes during lunch, and considering I didn't smoke the other 8 that I am at work, that was doing pretty well. Let me tell you this: lunch is now BORING. I have no idea what to do with myself. Today, I ate my chicken fingers in the lunchroom with my co-workers while "There's Something About Mary" played on the TV. So clearly, the lunchroom is a place to avoid.

OK, let's do numbers and I'm going to head to some party thing for a friend of mine.

Your heart rate and blood pressure have dropped: 100%

The CO level in your blood has dropped to normal: 100%

Your sense of taste and smell have improved: 100%

Nicotine has been removed from your body: 100% (and it's been at 100% all day, so I'm assuming this means it's all gone! I still have been going cold turkey. Day 3 of cold turkey!)

Your dependence on nicotine has been eliminated: 26% (this one can't get finished quickly enough)

Withdrawal symptoms have subsided: 13% (c'mon, get through this one, too!)

Your circulation has substantially improved: 4%

Smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue, or shortness of breath have decreased: 1% (WE HAVE A NEW ONE!!! This is probably why I also keep thinking I'm sick)

Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack, and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker: 1% (ANOTHER NEW ONE!)

Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker: 0%

Risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half: 0%

Your risk of smoking-induced tooth loss has declined to that of a non-smoker: 0%

Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked: 0%
