or not.  Can you believe I am back here after two years?  I can.  I am a cigarette junkie.  Plain and simple.  The quit from two years ago - lasted 9 great months.  But the junkie in me couldn't let it go.  I am like the Robert Downey Jr. of cigarettes. Seriously.  But I will keep trying until one of these suckers lasts...

I smoked my last cigarette this morning at 6AM.  Oh yes.  They were there, and I just couldn't let a "good" cigarette go to waste. Junkie. My husband still smokes too, so it doubles my chances of relapse.  But I have to get better for me.  I missed almost a week of work from sinusitis, strep throat, swollen lymphs, blah, blah, blah.  I still tried smoking even with my throat, literally, on fire.  There is something wrong with that picture.  So on top of antibiotics, I am doing breathing treatments.  Breathing treatments!!! Hello! Clue!

Anywho... I feel like I am all over the place today.  Especially writing this little piece of literature gold, I tell you.  I am doing the patch - only 7mg.  I tried a couple months ago to do the 21mg patch and was green at the gills for a few days before I couldn't take it.  I know I don't have the energy for another cold turkey quit.  So here I sit, feeling a little tired and dazed, but not as cranky as I would be without anything.   With that... I must actually work and get paid so I can do little things like keep the house I have and all the other bills that come with it...

Here is to day 1~

Sincerely, Robert Downey Jr., Jr.?
