The lies of nicodemon!

Thank God for Marilyn and her constant preaching on vigilance. I had the worse mornng since I started this quit. I had put on my patch and had a lozenge in my mouth. I slept well last night. The craving was so powerful, it consumed my whole mind and body. The great lie of "just one" was in big, bright, red letters in my head. I was shaking so bad I couldn't even blog. I read some blogs and told myself to distract myself. Played 1 10 min. fb game and it started to lesson up to a doable level. I actually felt I would die from the craving if I didn't smoke. Nico was actually telling me I could have "just one" and go back to lozenges. How many times has that demon told me that and me, believing it, fell for it? Too many failures. Well I am proud to say I didn't give in and I lived through it.

Cravings don't kill us, Cigarettes do!
