I'm the one who has been running days late and dollars short for a couple of weeks now.  From the sound of your smoking habits, I don't think you were ever a chain smoker like I used to be.  It took me almost thirty years to get from three packs of 20 cigarettes every day down to three cartons (10 packs each) per month.  If I could just smoke one or two without risking turning into a human smokestack I'd be a happy man.

Good Morning, OTA.
It may be a few days late, but I've always felt better late than never.  I don't even want to talk about why I can't seem to blog more than once every three to six days lately.  Maybe after things settle down a little.

It's not just finding the willpower, it's hanging on to it at all of those crucial instances when you so appreciate a cigarette.  It's been a week and I still want one just as bad as I did the second day.  I wish you luck.  We're both going to need some support to go along with that willpower.

Hi - sorry I'm a bit late reading this.
I know how you feel about posting. Personally, I think there is a halfway house. Sometimes I'll buy a packet - say once every month - or even just at the weekend - but stricttly resist the urge to get a second packet when it runs out - and I'm talking about a packet of ten. Usually I just want one or two at the most. The rest just make me feel ill.
