Ok, the smokes are gone. I took care of the last 2 while I was waiting in the Taco Bell drive thru. Can she do it? Can a person who has been chain smoking the past month or so go without the crutch? And at the beginning of the "nice sitting outside on the porch smoking" weather? Well, I've done it before, I'm sure I can do it again. (and again) It's all about finding something else to take the place of the habit. Another monkey. Now, if I was smart, I'd starting exercising and eating healthy and get that monkey on my back. But that wouldn't fit into my whole self-destructive streak. I just hope I don't gain anymore weight. Yuk.
