Well this is a Pain ...
 
My back started acting up after the sweats last night .. I am out of any medication & on top of it all I have to walk 2 miles for smokes :p BUT I am sober and plan on keeping it that way .. I know I have the urge since this has been my daily routine at times I Binge. Get off work 7am; wait till 8am (EST) when the Packie opens then walk down get beers and come back so I am buzzed & passed out by noon ... But I am FOCUSED on not drinking; I just am not ready to give up the smokes :p The pain is overwhelming and I have to say even if it is just in my mind they help some .. So miles might be good for me and I am sure when I am back at 930am or so I will have a good update; Ohh and I added piece of the puzzle is I want the Empties OUT of the house .. The shame I feel is unbearable .. and the shame I feel carrying them in a back pack to dispose of them is just as bad :gaah

Thanx Chilled; but I think my addiction to nicotine was more then enough to drag me through :p But I am focused & must say the walk helped my back some by losing up the tightness from spending so much time in bed ...
