GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!
I have no idea how I remembered that line. I am not particularly religious, but on the way home from work, I was thinking about *drum roll* smoking. And I was thinking that if I am going to succeed I need to change my attitude, or at least pump it up so that I can meet the cravings and such head on. And out of my mouth I exclaimed GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN! … Yes and then I laughed like a moron. Just a funny thing to say if you ask me. Especially for a grown man…in a car…by himself.
Other smoking news…By way of maggie’s mind we have this article. The one thing she talks about in there, is something I forgot to put on my list of things I am looking forward to when I quit. Namely…what she calls “smoking runs”. Gah, that is a drag. You get home, get your shoes off, sit down and then you realize “Damn it! I only have X number of smokes left”. You put your shoes back on, and drive (or in my case if it’s still early enough, walk) to the store and buy something expensive that is killing you. Yay junkie!
So either you’re comparing your smokes to Peter or Satan. Let’s hope it’s Peter ;)
David, I have no idea why…but what comes to mind when I think of St. Peter is an old joke that ends with…”St. Finger will shake his peter at you”. I need help.
Hahaha, that struck me funny. You are so right, though, about getting geared up and psyched up to just not be a junkie - and the junkie thought is what I take from your blog today. Another one of those where I know it applies, but didn’t really think about it like that until you said it that way, even with my thing about having to go buy smokes when you just want to stay home. Total junkie behavior. Anyway, keep going! I’m starting to feel pretty damn good.
Yeah… the smoke runs were always pretty sad weren’t they. Even sadder when you don’t realize until it is to late that you are out of smokes and that scary sense of desperation hits you. I know in those moments I am definetly a junkie… I am so glad to be getting rid of that.
I love my Chantix
