Things aren’t going as well as expected: I cracked.
After having a much needed heart to heart with my new roommate, we discovered two things:
a) we are awesome
b) we don’t hate eachother
That called for a celebration which included a couple of drinks and smokes to follow.
The alcohol, mixed with the general relief that the coming summer will indeed be bearable, weakened my will while three days without a cigarette also weakened my “tolerance.”
Being under the influence, the two cigarettes I enjoyed outside of my apartment significantly increased the effects of alcohol and forced my into early retirement for the night.
That single event really turned me off to smoking. As Science Daily reports, University of Vermont researchers discovered that by simply cutting back, smokers may have an easier time eventually quitting opposed to those who choose to abruptly stop.
Whether I take that route or not, its definitely an up hill battle. Let’s hope the remaining days in my study are not as difficult.
