bye bye smokey treats!

It's Day 5 sans ciggies. Hasn't been fun either...I decided last weekend to really quit this time, not just for a while like I have been doing. This was prompted after reading the 'Time' article on Saturday. I didn't seem to have any trouble on the weekend but since then I have really been struggling. I haven't smoked but shit do I want to...still, at this very moment I do. It comes in waves though and I'm finding that if I just ride them out, they will eventually pass. Hopefully that continues to do the trick for me. This weekend will be a challenge because I'll be having a few cocktails, which is always the tough part for me...they've just always gone hand in hand. I have to do it though because I have this weird feeling that if I kept going I would start smoking more than I ever have before. I think it's just all the stress accompanying my financial fracas! No need for it...especially with the impending exercising (impending because I still have to do that this week, so far the weekend was nothing but a surge). So, look out lungs...it's cleanup time!
