I have decided that I am being too hard on myself. Even at seven real cigarettes per day, that is still a reduction of 66% over what I was doing before.
My sister has managed to cut cigarettes out completely for five weeks, but that is obviously not going to happen in my case. Also, I do have reasons for continuing with cigarettes in the mornings, but I am not going to explain them here. Suffice to say that they are an integral part of my early morning routine..
So, I have started out on Day 8 with the usual mix, and so far, I am doing ok, I think..
