A week or so before Christmas, I started to wait five more minutes before having a cigarette. Really for no other reason than to see if I was able to resist the urge for five minutes.
I did, and I turned it from a pack a day to half a pack a day pretty quickly. Since Christmas afternoon, my waiting five minutes has turned into waiting 7 days today. So far, the last 7 days have been the longest five minutes of my life. New Years day, the wife packed up the kids and left for her parents. The heathen, has developed a flinch if I make any sudden movements. I truly feel sorry for anyone who has had to spend time around me lately, because I am sure that I have been the furthest thing from even tolerable.
Everyone tells me congratulations, but I am not quitting....I am just going to wait 5 minutes before having one.
