Still hanging in there

Almost a week, and I'm still getting these huge cravings out of nowhere... One moment I'm fine, and the next it's INEEDNEEDNEEDACIGARETTENOWWWWWWWWWWW, and I would sell my soul for a Camel. Five or ten minutes later, I'm fine again. Until the next time.
At least it isn't that constant craving anymore. It's hard to justify living longer if it involves feeling that bad...

I cast on Maplewing Tuesday. I've started row 3. At this rate, I'm going to be knitting this shawl for months... (A true win in the entertainment per yarn-dollar ratio.) I should pick up speed once I'm a little further along and can read the lace. Right now, there isn't enough to puzzle out where I am, so I'm compulsively counting and recounting each section, and hoping for the best.

I quit more than 10 years ago and there are still times when I wish I had something to light up and inhale. They are now few and far between and I can distract myself easily.

Congratulations on almost a week! Cold turkey is brutal!!! I quit several centuries ago. The first year I had occasional cravings. Now I never think about it and I'm not attracted at all when I smell cigarette smoke. Hang in there! You can do it!
