Today I am sitting wondering why the idea of rolling a cigarette is producing an almost physical itch to my being.
I hand rolled my cigarettes for15 years, and my wife got me to give them up nearly 5 years ago, Today my fingers are twitching and the WANT for a fresh rolled cigarette are in my brain. I just saw someone roll a cigarette on the TV and the thoughts have been driving me mad ever since.
The wife and some of the kids are away for the weekend, and I am at home with the other kids, I am not gong to give in to these thoughts, I’m not. But I sure could do it at the drop of a hat.
I went through a few times of falling off the wagon, but I haven’t touched a smoke in over a year and a half, but today I could fall off again if the kids weren’t with me, I won’t go get some tobacco and papers with them and I won’t leave them behind, so I am carefully caught in a crack of my own making.
I don’t really think I will go back to smoking, but after a year and a half I would have thought I was further past the cravings, but I’m obviously not as far along from the desire as I would have wished for.
To all of those in the same position as a past or ex-smoker, good luck to you on a day like the one I am having.
There is something more intense because of the tactile dependency that arises from the hand rolling.
