seven days
seven days
of nothing much
and now you start
your evil drilling
snaking sneaky
through my panic stricken
mind
for what, for why, i cry
how many bars of chocolate
must i eat
to still your iniquitous
insistence
yesterday was strength
no problem
i had the beating
of you
today, day seven
you whisper sweet, sweet nothings
turn my head
from sensible to needy
i know where you lie
waiting for me
tonight i crave sleep
to shut your ceaseless nagging
from my mind
which longs for an excuse
to waver and draw deep
the curling trails
of nicotine's addiction

LMAO-you smoked for 45 years! what did you expect? but-you can do it!
seven is a good beginning!
aaarrrggghhh! methinks todays nicotine patch must be defective. such a desire to pull long and hard, breath in so deep and feel the bite against my throat, my lungs overflowing with the smoke i crave ...
sigh ...
i am a friggin' addict!
i have no advice for you, unfortunately..i had quit for 4 weeks, and picked it right back up with a vengeance. lol
does chewing gum help you at all? or sucking on a straw? something to keep your brain somewhat distracted??
hang in there!
