Comments on: some realities of quitting http://talesfromthequit.com/some-realities-of-quitting stories, essays, rambles and rants written on my journey to freedom from smoking Sat, 03 Mar 2012 05:13:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Inforthelonghaul http://talesfromthequit.com/some-realities-of-quitting/comment-page-1#comment-769 Inforthelonghaul Mon, 18 Jul 2011 07:37:43 +0000 http://talesfromthequit.com/?p=366#comment-769 I have 'tried' many times to escape the evil one that is nicotine addiction. Even before my quit date, I told family I would 'try my hardest' to quit! 8 days in there is no try, it's a fight ( this weekend was a war!) but I WILL never give up the fight! I guess there is going to be many wars inside my head over the next few days/months/years, but no white flags coming from me! Everyday is a big V for victory, another war I have won and with every passing day I tell myself ( because I know onlu to well) how discusting that first cigarette will taste, it really is vile, so for the sake of a less than five minute craving, I will remain persistant in resistance!! Onwards and upwards! I have 'tried' many times to escape the evil one that is nicotine addiction.

(lovely darling little things they pretend to be) but you know, the third day, third week, third month....i'm going into my third week. i can taste the little bugger. somebody knock me out for the next 5 months. this has been my only saving. i guess as much as i lament i am "trying", my saving grace has been i refuse to buy a pack of cigarettes anymore. i have told myself, self, if you want a cigarette, you have to go up to lake county and buy a carton. there is no middle ground. it is all or nothing. you will not spend the price of a pack when you can get a carton for two thirds more, and in this rationale, it also means, if i have them i will smoke them. for i am cheap, or thrifty, whichever, and i don't waste anything. so. that one cigarette means i will not ever quit, and i will go through this torture forever and ever and ever and be broke and wasteful buying dirty stinking cigarettes.

Choice and Chance? (In case you're wondering, a local music event update I just read featured Kev Choice... which sort of made me think of you... and then I remembered a friend's son who's named Chance...) See? Everything really is explainable. ;-) I hope Life is treating you well! Much aloha! Maybe write a story... about two brothers... Choice and Chance?
