well well well

It has been sometime since I have posted anything! Lots of stuff going on in my life these days! I'll post a few more here in a bit, but here is the smoking update... Its a mixed message. The effort is still ongoing! Of course it is, lent is not yet over. I do expect to continue the effort after lent as well. But I have not been perfect either. I have not counted how many times I have slipped, but there definitely has been a few. But its not all bad. Many people go for the gum, the patch or the candy to help with nicotine cravings, I have just been going back to the occasional cigarette. I would probably be popping a million candies, or have a permanent patch on if I went that route. Instead, my nicotine intake is WAAAAAAAY down. I have gone from about a pack or two per week down to a pack in the last month. With luck and a little inspiration, by the end of the next month that will be down to zero or at least nearly zero. Keep up the prayers! I still need em! and Thank you! ~j
