i consider myself to have quit even though i fall off the wagon from time to time. it’s been a month and i haven’t had a pack of my own or smoked daily. however, now and again…
it’s really freaking hard and it hasn’t gotten easier, but i’ve quit and started so many times and i won’t let myself start again just because of one little slip up.
so relapses be damned i’ve quit smoking!
good luck with your efforts to quit!
i was a work scholar for two months last year and it was one of the most healing, growing, amazing, bonding experiences of my life. don’t miss dance church.
esalen is the closest thing to home that i’ve ever felt. can’t wait to go back.
