gh0stprince So....this past week, I had an impromptu "quit smoking cold turkey" session because I had deleted my supply of tobacco, and money's been tight lately.
Good GODS the cravings were awful! I mentioned on status.cafe that it felt like I was exercising a demon. I managed to not be too abrasive, but I still lost my temper once or twice. Mostly at not getting our taxes done when I wanted to. I was a bit of an ass there.
I don't think I can manage quitting smoking cold turkey because of my emotional&mental junk, and I'm grateful my old coworker gave me some smokes to tide me over....I have an appointment with the addictions specialist at my doctor's office to get the patch going soon.
Baby steps. I'm hoping to finally put the nail in this coffin this year, but I'll forgive myself if I slip up. It's important to forgive yourself with this kind of stuff, or else you're just going to end up hating yourself. And that's not great, because you're the only person by your side 100% from womb to tomb.
