A Writer's Notebook, Day One-Thousand-Two-Hundred-And-Thirty-Eight

I am feeling a strong desire to smoke tonight, but I am dealing with it.  I knew it would not be an easy thing and I prepared myself for that reality. I need to stop and I am finally at a point in my life when I want to.  I know I can and will make it through, it is just a matter of staying strong, though it helps that I don't have any cigarettes in the house.
