No More Ciggies

Yes, it is a minor accomplishment but it has been exactly one week since I quit smoking. The initial bad moods, unexplained anger and feelings of helplessness seem to have abated.

However, I still don't think I can sit next to a smoker without feeling the manic urge to pry the cigarette out of their fingers and suck on it.

I still get into my car thinking, "Oh goodie, time for a smoke break."

And it is still next to impossible for me to hold a drink without a cigarette in my other hand but I am managing - I have to numb the urge with something!

I miss watching old films or foreign films where sexy people are sucking on ciggies.

And most of all, I miss my late night, star gazing smoke breaks. Those were the best times of all. Sigh.

On the plus side, I am saving money that I can apply to old fashioned door knobs and I no longer harbor a filthy habit that embarrassed me to no end. Hip hip horray.
