Quitting smoking I

I decided to quit smoking beginning tomorrow. Next weekend is a special weekend for me. I don’t want to be going through nicotine withdrawal during it, so there is no point in delaying it.

I can almost feel the pain from nicotine withdrawal tomorrow, pain coming over me in nauseating waves where I can think of nothing but cigarettes, where I lose all affection for life except for nicotine, and where I must find the most solitary and quiet place possible. However, delaying the starting date seems like delaying the torturer when you know you will survive the torture and be better for it when it is over. Let the games begin.

If State Street turns into a bunch of cuss words for the next three days, you know why.
