"Probability factor of one to one. We have normality. I repeat, we have normality. Anything you still can't cope with is therefore your own problem." Trillian (hhgttg)
I feel I'm approaching normality, not there yet, but at least the buildings aren't washing up and down on the beach while the sea stays as stationary as a rock.
Today I had the least cravings I've had since giving up.
No desire to light up early this morning. No desire on arriving at work. I was polite to the jaywalker merely pointing out that had I had a car and not a bicycle that she would have been very sore indeed.
One of the other tenants in our office building is in a similar field and smokes. Sometime I used to smoke and chat with him. Today as I went to lunch he was having a smoke and I stopped and had a chat ... have to admit that I would have liked a cigarette at that point, but it's one of only two times today I have. The other was on returning from lunch.
Bugger! The third was while I was typing the previous paragraph :) I guess I'm just an illusion in the mind of Heisenberg.
I wouldn't call them cravings, just an "I'd like a cigarette" moment. Manageable and avoidable.
I've had a few stomach cramps late today. not sure where that's going, it's probably just the massive influx of almonds, cashews, chilli peas, etc.
PS Kudos to @aimee7 for her post about feeling normal this morning; 2 days ahead of me :)

William Blake Revisited
The Sick Rose
"O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
"Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy."
Nothing, as such, to do with smoking but somehow it seems to fit as our love for smoking kills us.
