Old Habits Never Die- Part 2

by Joan Serratelli

I've now started
to try to quit
the cigarette habit
once again

Yesterday I smoked
less than
a pack
but I fell asleep early
(so maybe it doesn't count)

Today in ernest
I will start timing
again
one ciggy
every 2 hours
no more
and no less

Author's Note: I got up at 5- I started the "2 hour" thing at 7- we'll see how it goes!

Personally, I think there's worse sins in the world, but good luck all the same. This was really nicely done.

A smile and a cynical snicker the games and twists of reality, the stories of addiction. May you end the game,may you not wait like I and find the quality of life lost or life itself.
