Do these come in Extra Large...? |
Yesterday I hit the 7-months sober mark. To celebrate, I decided to torture myself further by quitting smoking again. (Old joke alert: "Quitting smoking is simple. I do it every day!" Badda-Bing!) It's not something I've ever been able to do for long while drinking (which was pretty much always for the last 30 years), so I figured I'd try it again now that I'm sober. My body, after all, is my temple.
I found out the fine folks at Tobacco Free Florida will send Florida residents a free 2-week supply of the nicotine patch. I ordered them some time ago, but only put one on yesterday. They don't magically make the cravings go away entirely, but they do help quite a bit. The withdrawal ratchets down from "Acute Agony" and hovers somewhere closer to "Chronic Pain." Life is good.
Anyhoo, wish me luck. Meanwhile, I'll be channeling my spirit animal for help when I need it:
