A Shameful Experience

On October 21st, I celebrated one year being smoke free, and then I flirted with danger and fell off the wagon right onto my face. 

I tried one cig just to remember what it was like. It tasted like dog______. I was satisfied that I didn't want any part of another one. Slowly though, I bought another pack of butts and smoked a few more--in the space of two weeks, I am back to being the smoker I once was. 

I am now re-reading Carr's book and getting ready to climb back up there. I am so disappointed in my mistake--wish me luck; I am determined to quit again.

About the Author
I am a writer, actually a playwright, who is oddly enough, converting one of my plays into a novel. I love to play the guitar and I am part of a group ( The Pine Hill Boys). I'm also an avid golfer, fly fisherman, and cross country skier. I have two Master's Degrees--one in American Studies, and the other in Administration/Supervision. I was in education for many years. I'm still an adjunct ( for fun) at a community college. Love it.
