the art of suffering.

Photobucket

a non smoker for six weeks and four days! damn i'm good, not happy of course, no, no, no! why would i be?
after all, two weeks and four days ago ...
my nicotine patch ration was halved, yep, you heard me, halved!
oy! my poor wee synapses are torturing me ...
my first month was easy by comparison.
the scary thing is, in one week and three days they are going to halve the nicotine dose again. aarrgghhh!

i would love to be able to say...
"i feel so much healthier, i am so glad i chose to be a non smoker."
of course, that would be just one big old fib!
i am an addict and i am miserable without my nicotine fix.
i gave up smoking for financia reasons.
to be perfectly honest, if i won the lottery, i would grab the first cigarette available and never stop smoking again.

ok ... i'm done whining, well, for today anyway. i might still allow the odd whimper to escape my lips, no point in being too hard on myself!

yup, every time i attempted to give up i would end up smoking more!the price of cigarettes here in the uk is horrible so i really have no choice - which does kind of motivate me lol!

I empathize. I've been desperate enough before to actually SUCK on the patch.

How can I convey "thank you" in a more adequate way. I treasure your friendship, just as I treasure your gift.

Merci, merci, beaucoup.

When I quit, which is going to be sooner rather than later, it will be for financial reasons as well.
Sigh. I hate to think of it like that, but that's reality.
