Re: smokes

And as far as nicotine goes, after something like six or ten days, you're completely right. (good on you, btw! :D )Other addictions take God's Own Time to physically break, and what it takes until then is a daily "Am I going to? I could... No." The mind browbeating the body into a new routine.

What I'm saying is it's a choice you made. YOU looked at the world and said "Yep; done with this cigarette shit. Thanks." and dropped it. Nobody stuck you in rehab and said "it's good for you," made you stay x number of days. Therefore, if you're having a jittery day, you're less likely to fall back to "old reliable".

What if the choice to go without wasn't yours? Would you still be shunning the routine?

Like I said, not trying to excuse. Just trying to get the world off the dad's back, and to see Ms. Librarian a little more...close to home. Some days I want to kick old Sigmund in the head for giving people an automatic excuse for anything they ever do.
