Oh the blasted Holidays.  There’s something about the indulgence of the holiday season that make people want to cheat at their diets, make exceptions for extra drinking and changes the mindset to believing in the impermanence of actions taken.  The point being- I smoke cigarettes.  Well, parts of cigarettes.  A halfie here or there, New Years a whole cig, bumming a hit or two off the girlfriend.  The extra stress may actually be somewhat relieved by this smoking, but that doesn’t help the addiction that comes back with it.  I think it’s time for a new plan and for a new concerted effort to quit before I become a full-blown smoker again.
