OK, I slept most of yesterday so today may be a challenge. Back to work where I tend to smoke when I'm stressed, bored or as a "reward" for accomplishing a task. (Really any old excuse will do) I need to stop for gas on the way so gotta get through that. Maybe I'll go to a different gas station where they won't automatically put a pack on the counter as soon as they see me. I need to run a few errands at lunch so that could be good(I'll be too busy to think about smoking) or bad(I need to stop at the drug store without buying cigarettes)

Around mid-afternoon if I stay true to form, I'll be rationalizing that I've done well, I've proven I can do this so let's buy a pack after work, what the hell? You can always quit again. I can't tell you how many times I've done this. I sabotage myself, set myself up for failure. If I look at this rationally it's a piece of cake. There are three incidents to get through-on the way to work, lunch and on the way home. Twenty minutes, one hour and twenty minutes. Easy. I can do this. OK, Monday. Bring it!
