Journal Entry for January 8, 2008 Mood
Tuesday, January 8, 2008

I'm doing so much better today!  Smile I read through my last journal entry and that was a bit hard to take in that I was feeling that "pathetic" yesterday.  Not to say I'm pathetic (or anyone else is for that matter) but I am realizing how truly pathetic a nicotine addiction can be.  I can't believe I allowed myself to become addicted to something like that - I noticed the jitters and how I kept thinking to myself that "having only one won't hurt!"  I was doing everything in my power to convince myself that I needed to have a cigarette.  BUT I DIDN'T!  I'm so proud of myself for not giving in. 

My boss quit almost two months ago and he is using Chantix.  He told me I really should try it.  My Mom was also just put on Chantix two days ago.  I really want to see if I can do this cold turkey.  If I can't and for some reason (which I hope doesn't happen) I start smoking again, then I will definitely try to get myself on something.
