Last night I decided to take the plunge and finally quit smoking. I know, most of you are thinking "YAY!!" ... i'm not on the same page. At least not yet.
Aaron recently quit also, and he brought up a very good point: Smoking is just too expensive. We have so many bills to pay as it is, not to mention a wedding and if I'm willing to cut fluff 'n fold out of my life (and I LOVE fluff 'n fold), I should be able to let go of my nicotine addiction as well.
Well, it's proving to be a little more difficult than I anticipated. Not that I thought it would be easy, but I've never had to fight an addiction problem before this. So, I came to work this morning armed with sucking candy and pretzels hoping that I could cure my oral fixation with some light snacking. It's not working out very well at all. Candy and pretzels can not deliver that same satisfaction that my sweet, sweet nicotine gave me. It's disgusting to admit. It really makes me sick to think that I'm this reliant on something so detrimental to my health and the health of those around me; and yet here I am.
Complying with Aaron's suggestion, I have also joined an on-line support group called whatsyourexcusenj.com.
We'll see how much that helps.
I'm off to lunch now. With any luck I'll make it through the day without ripping someone's face off.
