4/2/25 The fight goes on

 When comes to cigarettes, I am akin to a spineless mollusk.  Part of the reason is Lizzie doesn't support my cold turkey initiative.  As for me, I look for a reason not to quit.

And so the vicious cycle begins.  

I know I have to quit.  Nevertheless, the quit date is elusive.  I keep on stalling because, on the one hand, I love smoking.

Everything is heading south.  The weight,  the smoking, and the exercise.  All in limbo.  That doesn't mean I am not fighting.  I am...  It's just that I am very, very weak.

So I continue to smoke, perhaps a few packs more.  I have to whistle while I walk.  Things have to happen simultaneously.

It is a very embarrassing situation.  To not be able to say no to cigarettes is to welcome emphysema in my life.

Still, this is not a logical move.  I love smoking so much.  Much more than life itself.  The Seroquel doesn't help much.

The answer to the conundrum is for me to fight this enemy head-on.

I will fight it.  The challenge is to develop a strong muscle to flex towards the enemy.
