First Anniversary

21.9.11
On September 21st last year, I gave up smoking.  

While I'm glad that I did and the grandkids are thrilled, I have to say that I miss cigarettes so much.  
There isn't a day that I don't crave them.  I was surprised that I overcame the situations where I had cigarettes, as easily as I did.  I used to think that it would be impossible to drink a cup of coffee, write a letter or answer the phone, without a cigarette.  Surprisingly, I didn't have too much trouble.  

No, there's some deep, gnawing yearning for a round tube between my lips, the steady in-drawing of breath and the long, slow release of twirling smoke.  Ahhhh.
YUK, you say???    May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
