Addiction weighs more

Day two on the trudge towards becoming unfettered by the chains of Nicotine.

My ego will not let me simply take the easy road, so I'm alternating between sticking to the patches and then trying to go cold turkey as long as I can before sticking another one on my back.

Yesterday I had three smokes in the morning.  All day with the patch, until it slid off my sweaty carcass as I was sweeping my driveway after work.  Yes I have a leaf blower, but just like dishes I feel things get cleaning when you do it by hand.

I managed to stay away from the smokes until about 7:45pm.  I smoked 9 before bead at 10pm.  Not exactly stellar progress I realize.  It's a Process!

Today I have had one cigarette.  I have not put on the patch yet, but will more than likely being doing so shortly.  The anxiety is about 4 out of 10.  I'm actually craving another cup of coffee more than a cigarette.  lol


He represents my addiction to cigarettes.  He's sorta cute, no?
