It really is interesting to examine how one’s mind works, when trying to end something you have been doing for decades, like smoking.

Yesterday’s box score ended up with Habit winning over Stubborn.

BOX SCORE January 4 2010

Stubborn 5   Habit 7

Today got off to a not bad start, least its encouraging.  However I do notice that I think about it more, than I did when I was smoking. I guess that is part of the withdrawal from the nicotine or something.

I know some suggest patches, and other stuff, but isn’t that sort of like trading one addiction for another? A friend used cinnimon sticks, to have in his mouth, rather than a cigarette. Worked too, as he’s quit, but he’s up to 100 grams of sticks each day, and well, chewed stick pieces are everywhere.
