observations

I was told to observe myself. I am finding my heart races in the morning when I smoke. Now that I know this wakes me up, I can address it. For example, I could stretch and march to get my heart beat going. I could throw myself in the shower. Or I could go for a walk.

The other cigarettes I am having don't seem to be anything but habit. I am having them for comfort. I get tired easily. Then I am more inclined to have one. I take major tranquilizers. Deep Breathing helps. Some days I am down to four smokes. I am proud of that. I am cutting down to quit.
