baby steps

morning of the eighth. i didn't blog at all yesterday, never had that crushing urge to type. smoked 5 cigarettes yesterday, but i smoked them in pieces. slip outside, flame, puff, puff, stub ... get about 3 to 5 smokes from a cig that way ... still a much reduced nicotine input, just more evenly spread across the day. not sure if the zyban is helping or not, but it has gotten a little easier over the last three days.
i've been awake for about an hour this morning, made coffee and checked email. until i opened up the blogger interface and got about halfway through this blog, i never even thought about smoking this morning. of course, now i can't think about anything else.
in other news, i'm starting to feel a little bit healthier than i did a few days ago ... not ready for a marathon or anything, but definitely less trepidation when looking at stairs. i suppose it only gets better from here.
