Happy Anniversary to Me!
On this day, one year ago, I officially quit smoking and have not had a cigarette since! 
On this day, one year ago, I officially quit smoking and have not had a cigarette since!
Toothless — I had two of my wisdom teeth pulled today. The things were in horrible shape. So bad, that the top one kept breaking as the doc tried to squeezed down on it to pull it out. He literally broke into a sweat trying to get that thing out. 
Anyway, those two are out, thank goofy. The other two come out next Friday. I had only been asking my regular dentist to pull them out for two years. (Yep, two years and she never did one damn thing about them. I had to go to a specialist to get someone to finally do something.)
Right Back Where I Left Off — Well, I haven’t had a cigarette for 5 days (4 hours, 3 minutes, 42 seconds), that’s about where I had my little slip up last time. I feel calmer this time. I have my moments, but I don’t have the same feelings of screw this, I’m going to go buy some smokes right now!! like I did at this point last time. I also don’t have that little devil sitting on my shoulder saying “You don’t really want this, you are doing this because they say you have to. They are making you do this.” (They being no one in particular.) This time I am doing it because I don’t want to ever again feel the way I did during my slip-up. After a few cigarettes, I could actually feel my lungs filling back up with gunk, or so it seemed. It scared me a little bit. I don’t want to die a slow, suffocating death.
[Added at 3:47 am] I can’t sleep. Every time I get close to falling asleep I hear/feel my phantom teeth being pulled from my head. That ripping/tearing sound/feeling is driving me insane!
