Just needed to let you all know that my bad time has come around again -- weekends are the worst for me. I guess that's what you all mean by "rewards," which I never quite got. Was off today for Veterans Day (who knew??), so ran errands, cleaned the house, fixed the dog's run, did all kinds of stuff. Now it's kick-back time, which, hello, means a glass of wine and a Camel Light.
Same thing happened last weekend, when I finished doing the church flowers for Sunday. Bad enough doing them smoke-free, but when they were done, it was like SO time for "one of those" breaks. It will happen again tomorrow.
I'll get through it; still on the patch and Zyban, so it's not so much the craving, it's the habit. The break -- remember the old "It's Miller Time" commercial? Gotta create a new "Miller Time," and I just don't know how. OD-ing on bubble gum, energy bars, hard candies, and busy work. Trying to make the tea work at night, but I'm just not an herbal tea kind of guy. I've been a wine/beer/smoke kind of guy for almost 40 years. (Yeah -- beer/smoke guys can do flowers too. We just put tattoos on them.) Working on it, though. Also working through it, but it's nasty! (Not as nasty as a cigarette, though; I know that.)
Thanks for the vent --
