One week....just now!

Ha! One week ago today (this hour) I smoked my last camel. Holy crap that's awesome! Whew, okay I'm glad I got that out of the way. One week down, and on to tomorrow. I'm doing good with my cravings, but in truth I'm not having as much of a problem with it as I had foreseen. Which is weird. I thought I'd have more of a problem with it given it was really cold turkey this time. I had always used aids. I'd chew that nasty ass gum and would want a cigarette right behind it. Gee, I wonder why. My brain was telling me the 4 mg of medicinal nicotine wasn't near enough so it wanted more. I think cold turkey is better, no aids, no drugs, just will power and the love and confidence of a child. It's all about motivation and this year will be better than last. This year, instead of spending the money on cigs, I'll be about to put more into my passion of photography. This year I'm going to get out more and take more photographs. This year I'm going to develop my portfolio. This year I'm going to stay a non-smoker. Congrats to all of my friends, you lovely people you, and congrats to those who are not yet my friends. I love this site, and I love you people! Continue to support each other, we need it. There are folks who haven't quit yet who have become members, but there are folks getting ready to because of what they read here. So keep it up!

Peace and Love...
Joe
