They say that it takes 7 days for a physical addiction to dissipate, leaving only the metaphysical addiction...
It has been 7 days since I last smoked cigarettes. Sigh..... I can't say this has been an easy week. I have wanted to smoke pretty badly a few times and I have resisted.
I have been smoking on and off since I was 13 years old. It pains me to think of all the damage I have done to my body for such a small amount of pleasure...
Last year, I decided I would quit smoking on my birthday. I made it a couple months before I even smoked one. And then.... I started again. Why?
A little part of me is convinced that I'm going to die of cancer at a fairly young age...
But I have seven days. That is approximately 40 cigarettes I have not smoked!
My thoughts are like dominoes...

Congratulations! 7 days is good! I was SOOO proud of myself when I quit smoking when I was in NY... Didn't smoke for 3 months and was disgusted by cigarettes for a while... Then I moved back to Washington, a month later I was working at VMC as a Xbox game tester and there was nothing to do for lunch, so I started smoking and socializing with the crowd who I would best get along with... I need to quit again, though all the changes in my life right now make it difficult... Excuses...
