Death To Smoking
This week I finished a new piece, trying to use art as therapy for quitting smoking (again).
This one’s called “Death to Smoking” and is going to hang on my studio wall to remind me of how idiotic and dangerous smoking really is so hopefully I’ll think twice about doing it again.
As far as actually quitting smoking (again)…it’s been up and down. I can seem to go 3 days without smoking and be mostly okay, but it’s that third day that kills me. I think if I can get over that hump, I’ll be fine, but so far I haven’t been able to. :o/ I read Allen Carr’s book again and I know how stupid I’m being and yesterday when we were at Wal*Mart I saw two women smoking and realized just how trashy people look when they’re doing it, so I’m aware of all this, it’s just beating the nicotine-craving monster inside me I’m having a hard time dealing with.
I know I’ll get there, I did it before, things just kinda suck right now. I know I just have to keep at it and keep BUSY, and hopefully the next few days will be distracting enough to help me get through 3 days without breaking down.
Thursday is the Touched By Fire art show and Saturday is Steph the Geek’s wedding, so hopefully those will be good distractions rather than stressful events that’ll have me wanting to smoke more. *fingers crossed*
And with that, I’m off to bed so I can start tomorrow nicotne-free.

Well, the opening is Thursday night but that’s invitation only. The show is open to the public Friday & Saturday and it’s at the Gladstone Hotel.
Erm…I can’t find my invitation just now so I don’t really know where the Gladstone Hotel is, but there should be info on the site!
