I am really enjoying smoking. I am going to
live a little and smoke this week. I am,
however, going on vacation for the next whole
week. I will just smoke on vacation, and then
go back to being a non-smoker after it is over.
7 months and 5,250 cigs later, I finally quit
again. Consider this the anatomy of an
addiction. I am back on track and sitting strong
at day 151. I blew a 7-month quit just as
described above and I thought I would never
smoke another cig as long as I lived. I never
even thought about smoking. I had it 100%
beat and it tricked its way back into my daily
life. I have quit for 1 or 2 months MANY
times only to smoke again.
Understanding that this is a never-ending battle
helps me understand my addiction. Yes, I
would love to have "A" cig, but that is not
likely. Odds are it will be closer to 5,000. The
simple fact is that I have to ask myself "Is that
"1" worth smoking another 5,000 cigarettes
and $800 out of my pocket?
Brad � Day 151

Thank you Brad, purplkoala
