Home again, Home again

Well it has been two weeks with no smoking.  I am able to surf the net and glean all sorts of information now.  I came across a video of an autopsy where they showed the plaque of a 30 year smoker in the cornary artery.  Scary stuff.  One line I came across that I liked spoke of embracing the cravings rather than cursing them.  They are, after all, something that has to be dealt with.

I do have an 800 pound gorilla in the backyard.  I just cannot bear to go out there.  Even looking out the window causes a feeling that I cannot put into words.

My return to work was 17 days after I quit smoking.  I had been dreading work.  Did I have any smokes in my locker?  Could I stay up all night and not go insane?  Actually the enviroment of my workplace was the easiest place to not smoke.  Work has designated smoking areas.  All I had to do was stay away from them.

I thought it strange that not one person at work said anything about my not smoking for close to a month.
