I can go 1, maybe 2 days without a beer and feel great about it, really enjoying getting up without a hangover, then all of a sudden I'm drinking again and wondering what in the hell happened.wirecutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525620516837946733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614388711599955131.post-8688267296486751512009-06-01T11:27:50.792-07:002009-06-01T11:27:50.792-07:00Thanks Deirdre.

I was also telling myself it was probably time and all - having been smoking since July 5th, 1990 (I remember the date because it was the day after the 4th).<br /><br />Anyway, I had a pretty good run. It was about 3 months with only 2 separate days in there because of some really intense stuff that was happening.<br /><br />But then things got even worse and I started falling apart. I kept telling myself that "this next one is the LAST one" but it wouldnt be. <br /><br />it had occired to me about this time that I didnt evenr eally want to quit. I wanted Magz to be happy but I shouldnt have to quit doing something that helped keep me in the world's reality with a little more ease. <br /><br />The while thing went to hell as summer started and looking back now, two years later - I don't regret it. <br /><br />I'm still not ready to quit. I may one day - I figure I <I>probably</I> will, and its not that I think I'm immune to the dangers - I'm pretty certain it will be the death of me!<br /><br />You have a better chance than I because you appear to be doing it because you <I>want</I> to stop. I think thats the only way it can work, to be honest. So I have faith in you!<br /><br />And if you decide not to, don't kick yourself too hard. We do what we must to get through each day, ya know?<br /><br /><I>Why can't I just type a few lines? Geez.</I>Deirdre Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420571607949820091noreply@blogger.com
