Day 9 continued...

3 Cigarettes a day

A good day! Maybe because I could not tear myself away from the computer or that each cigarette I have smoked thus far have been getting less and less enjoyable and making me cough more and more. But I still had to make that one painful desicion today: whether or not to smoke my last cigarette now or save it 'til morning. A thought that literally makes my heart skip a beat. The fact that I have to wait that long to smoke again makes me panic slightly. But then, the relief swept over me as I realized that I had saved some refrys out on the porch for later. However, the fact that I will smoke something that used and dirty grosses me out. Unfortunately, nothing overrides that fear of being without.

I have plently of reasons why I should quit smoking. There is just this one chain I have to break: the physical dependancy. I believe that if I don't make myself go without even just one cigarette, I will never break the cycle and this dependancy will be my downfall. I cannot afford at this time to use any kind of help in this extremely difficult process, so I have to go it alone. It's pretty scary. I have some doubt that I will not succeed. But I am hoping by keeping this blog and possibly gaining some support from readers, I, and anyone else out there sharing my experience, will be tobacco-free.

Exciting Developments!

After whoreing out my blog for the last two hours, I am starting to see some results. I'm not invisible anymore! So, welcome to those discovering my blog! Be sure to tell your friends! Please feel free to leave comments/feedback/your experiences on my site if you wish. Bookmark, thumb up, share share share! I really feel that this blog could take off. Thanks to all and welcome again!

Day 9

1 Cigarette as of 11:00 AM

Another snowy, cold day here in Colorado. A perfect day to flip the switch on the fireplace (who has a woodburning fireplace anymore?), curl up with cup of coffee and a loved one. I was supposed to do my "volunteer" work today but I drove about 10 feet before sliding. So, in the light of wanting to live, I say no thanks.

Ok, enough chit-chat. [AUTHOR EDIT].

Lots of things on my mind this week. Trying to keep from cracking into a million pieces. But, I have greatly reduced the number of cigarettes, coffee (sorta), and other toxins into my body. Honestly I have been feeling better, less anxious, happier, and have been enjoying life more.

I have to be strong through everything, and not give up even when times get tough. [AUTHOR EDIT]
