no smoking

Well I went 24hrs without a cigarette. Thank God for commit lozenge. I got up in the middle of the night as is my usual custom and was craving a cigarette like mad! I put a lozenge in my cheek and went back to sleep. It was still there when I got up this morning. On the way home from work last night I held a straw in my left hand to keep me busy. During work hours I didn't miss smoking at all.
I have to put gas in my car today. I dread it. Wasted money. I remember a vacation we took to PA when we were kids, gas was up to 89Cents a gallon for regular, lines were long and grandpa was fretting over the price then. He'd roll over in his grave if he could see the prices now!
I was going to clean out my car today, but I have to be to work early, IDT meeting and then I have to teach a patient's wife how to do his wound care because he is leaving on Saturday.

Congratulations!!! Quitting was the hardest thing I've ever done, but i am so glad I did it, as there would be no way in hell I could afford it, and justify such an addiction above all the other things we are forced to go without.
I'm glad you are using something, it is nearly impossible to quit cold turkey, they stuff the cigarettes so full of addictive additives, way more so than even when we started all those years ago.

I'm proud of you! I love you.

By the way, I tagged you with a meme. For instructions, go to my blog. All you have to do is do the same thing, and tag 5 other people. It's ok if you don't want to do it, but I am curious as to what you'll come up with. Love ya.
