Still smoke free…

Sunday I had my last cigarette before I went to bed.
Monday I wanted to kill people.
Tuesday I only want to beat them up.
Wednesday I just wanted to slap them.
Thursday I thought I could get by just yelling at them.
Friday mumbling under my breath would have sufficed.
Today…today was good.
For those considering quitting, I am using the patch as I wanted to deal with the habit before the addiction itself. I figure I can survive a day or two of withdrawal once I’m not in the habit of lighting up every time I turn around. It’s going well and no matter what I said above, I don’t owe anyone an amends for my behavior this last week (at least not one I haven’t already made).
I figure I’ll just keep doing the next indicated thing because so far I haven’t found a good reason to light up again.
Aloha!
