Hack-Achoo......

Slowly dwendling down on my Step 2 patches and will soon be on Step 3!!!  My craving for cigarettes has gone, but the cravings when drinking still exist.  Hit me Saturday night while out having sushi with a girlfriend of mine at a place I would normally sit back, have a few drinks and smoke a bit.  I looked at her with this desperate stare and she questioned it.  I just had this overwhelming need to smoke like 5 cigarettes at once!  Those damn things have us warped in the head!!  It didn't make me just feel the urge to have one.....it made me sweat and feel the need for flippin 5 of them!!!!  Crazy I tell ya.....it's nuts.  Detoxing from smoking is hard, but I just think about what it would feel like if I were detoxing from heroin instead and it puts things into perspective.  I know I know....why don't I just stop drinking alcohol too????  Hell no!  I would tell you I'm feeling healthy and energetic at this point normally; however I am fighting a sinus infection which doesn't allow me to function as a normal human-being, but more of a zombie.  Gatta call the doc tomorrow and see if he can just fill me an Rx without me having to come in.

Today I had to explain to a married co-worker of mine the rights and wrongs of communicating with an old flame of his; warning him first that this is solely my opinion of his situation as I am not a certified marriage councilor.  I think it's cute when people come to me for advice on their relationships when I'm not even in one.  For the record.....I don't cause the relationships to fall apart, I am not perfect, but when you find someone who meets all criteria and maintains this long enough for you to get in tight with them and then all the sudden does a 180 on you and turns into Satan with no common sense or ability to function as a respectable human being.....it's time for you to go.  Be real!!!

The weather outside is frightfully COLD.  Not as cold as most places I'm sure, but damn!  There was a rumor going around this morning that it may snow tonight.  Being in Florida I am finding it very hard to believe; however we have not seen a hurricane in 2 years now so anything is possible at this point.
