So this weekend i'm going out of town with a buddy of mine to meet up with another buddy. I realized last night that I will face two big challenges this weekend. 1. I smoked like a freight train when I drive I don't know why I just do. My parents live about six hours from me and it would be no big deal for me to smoke almost a whole pack of smokes in that six hours. So I am a little nervous about driving. 2. Alcohol. Most of us that smoke know that we all become little chimney's when we drink. This is especially true for me as well. But I am going into this weekend with the mindset that i've already would've made it almost seven days by the time the weekend gets here so I really have no excuse for smoking. It's a challenge an obstacle if you will and me personally I love a good challenge. So I feel good about this weekend but I also have that little part of my brain that's saying maybe this isn't such a good idea it's too soon, you're not ready. But i'm not going to quit living my life with the fear that if I go somewhere i'll smoke. I'm going to live my life just how I always have with one exception. No cigarettes.
