What is it about writing that makes a person crave a cigarette? I've been off cigarettes for almost 8 months now, but the last few weeks have left me really wanting some, with me relapsing a couple of times. I'm meeting with a friend to go over her essay (not a euphemism, I'll be editing an essay she wrote) as well as write an article for my school paper and I have a feeling I'm going to stop by the gas station and pick up a pack. I keep on trying to reason it with myself like how if I smoke in moderation it won't be so bad, or how I've been under a lot of stress and been really unhappy with my life lately, but I still feel incredibly weak.
Writing was going to be the activity that got me away from drinking a 6-pack every evening, but all it seems to have done is helped me change up one vice for another.
