Day Two, and yes, I am addicted.

Minding my own business, had just cooked and eaten dinner, was cleaning up after, and decided to make a pineapple upside down cake.  Not bothering anyone.

It hit me.

Hard.

Like day and night!

I am filled with rage (luckily I did not throw the glass across the room that refused to fit in the dishwasher correctly).

My body and brain is begging for the nicotine.

I would love to blame all of you because none of you told me that making a Pineapple upside down cake would be a trigger!!!

(Sorry attempt at humor)

But yes, for whatever reason, This is way worse than yesterday.

And no, I am not beaten.  But WOW!

Just Wow!

I wonder if I have trained my body into this.  Many times I have quit smoking on a sat. Morning.  Hung in there fine until Monday morning and then would fail Monday at work.  I started a day early this time.  Just a thought.

But yes, just writing this has helped.  And telling my wife has helped.  

And thinking of ripping out the dishwasher and throwing it across the road REALLY helps.

But I won't.

I am 64 now. Living, breathing, keeping busy, but yet...failing. It is time to stop failing, at least when it comes to quitting smoking.
