finally figured out that sleeping is my escape from thinking about smoking. I have days that I can sleep for 12 to 13 hours, sometimes even longer. Good Lord, I'm having an extremely rough day today. Tomorrow marks my 5 weeks or 37 days without a cigarette. Doing my deep breathing. Don't want to increase my nicotine patch because I so want to be done with these things, but that really does help. seems like I'm replacing one crutch for another. I know I'll stick with this because I never do things that I don't enjoy doing in the first place and this surely was not fun by any means. Oh, well, just had to vent for a moment. This too shall pass
