Another weekend has passed without a smoke. I have not even gotten to the "jones-ing" stage with nicotine in a very long time.
I think there's no doubt that I would enjoy smoking just as much as I used to. The little addict in me likes to point out that smoking is no big deal, it feels great, and is a gamble as to whether or not it will make me sick.
The non-addict non-smoker me knows better. It's much easier to get by the urges now. Why give up now? I've gotten by most of the hard stuff, so there's no reason to have to start all over again.
I like the fact that I've not spent more than $1000 on cigarettes in the past 238 days. (Where is it, I wonder? Where did it go? Oh well...) I like the fact that I don't have to play the defensive mechanism every time someone wants to know if I smoke.
Headed towards a year. See you on the other side.
