Hey Jess -- Check it out -- the world is still spinning on its axis. I have enormous respect for you admitting to a slip, but golly -- life is going on.
Here's my question -- I know that you, and people who have slipped, are all about the shame. Whatever. I want to know about the taste! Was it worth it?? Was it to die for? Was the buzz incredible, or was it just a dirty, nasty thing?
Me, I'm at 28 days and have opportunities all around me to smoke again; I know that one puff will do me in, but I don't know what that one puff feels like. It might be worth it, no?
I would like to hear from the ones who know: was the slip worth it? (Self-rghteous and smug people need not reply -- I'm interested in weak people like me, who stare temptation down every day and want more than anything to give in to it. Is it worth it?)
I mean, come on: how bad can it be to reset your meter from 70 to zero?
Me, I admit I am protecting my 28 days like a lioness protects her cubs, but I know I'm not exactly in the mainstream of society. Maybe I should bow to convention and say one hit won't hurt? God knows, I'm on the verge.
