As much as I would like to quit smoking I am finding it almost impossible at the moment. The symptoms of quitting are severely interfering with my ability to do my job and the light-headedness that comes for a few days with quitting makes me a danger on the road. I simply can't deal with doing my job and quitting at the same time.
The only solution that I can think of that may work out is to simply wait until I go home again. I usually stay home for at least a week which would me more than enough time to get through the initial withdrawal period and allow my metabolism to stabilize somewhat. I'll be able to sleep when I feel the need (tiredness and sleepiness are some of the symptoms), and won't have to deal with all of the stuff I deal with on a daily basis out here on the road while at the same time trying to get through the initial withdrawal period.
I feel like if I can just take a week off from work to work through the initial part of the quit that I can then get on with things. It's just too hard to do both at the same time. As much as I want to quit I can't let it interfere with doing my job, especially when that could well mean someone getting killed out here on the highway.
So I am putting the whole thing on hold until I get home again, at which time I can quit, suffer through the withdrawal period in peace.
