Fell off the wagon…again!
2.365.219: Fell off the wagon…again!
Originally uploaded by casualbrewery
What’s becoming an annual event, I quit smoking the last week of March, again. Last year I went 5 months w/o buying a pack. This year I lasted a mere 2 months. Part of me is ashamed that the habit has such a hold on me. Part of me feels I’m whole again, now that I have my 8 minute think sessions again.
Quitting is hard. I totally admire the will power of all of you who’ve successfully quit. Will power and resolve are the keys to the success.
What really sucks and what really frustrates me about falling off the wagon this year is that for the better part of the 2 months I was thinking I’m done. The desire and need to smoke was nothing compared to previous years. Hell, I didn’t even bum one for the first 5 weeks.
The trigger this year, as well as last year: financial crisis. Obviously I’m going to have to steel my resolve around that point.
