Amidst all this stress and uncertainty in my life right now and in the life of my wife, I'm still doing good, not drinking. This is Day 13, lucky 13 right? Friday night, the weekend...
I thought I might try to break the nicotine addiction today by not buying new patches and just gritting my teeth about it but that didn't happen. Bought them, slapped one on, and now have a two week stash of them. I gotta tell ya, nicotine has a much stronger hold on me from a pure addiction standpoint than booze ever did. Certainly, the booze was killing me and messing up my life way worse, but in the pat 13 days, I have not really felt that hopeless irritable withdrawal feeling I get when without nicotine...
I'm afraid that without nicotine, I might drink....
