7. update- well my 1/2 pack rationing has been a little wobbly.

but i have had quite the roller coaster the last couple weeks.
my farm got inspected by the city (stress), but we won. the case was dropped. (woohaw! who cares.) my divorce, not so much. (stress)
had a couple of full pack days, but mostly 2 or 3 extra cigs. but getting back on the wagon.

broke down and bought some gum. it helps. i am a gum chewer anyway. i know if i dont have something for my oral fixation, i will blow up like a balloon.
only downside is that you cant drink while chewing the gum, whereas i often drink and smoke, both coffee and beer.

coughing less, tho still do it enough.

one thing that is a big draw for me is knowing i will be able to taste food again. taste buds are bad enough at my age, they dont need a push down that slope. and i grow delicious food that i can only half taste.

how about you?
