My Smoker’s Journal — Day 40 — A Dud Dead Day

Posted by Dan Joyce on

Today was a dud dead day. No spark, no drive, no motivation… just me, waking up late in the afternoon, wrapped in cold sheets like a human burrito trying to avoid the world.

Mom and I tried to fix the heater—tried being the key word. Then she headed off to Costco to fix her hearing aid, and I stayed home accomplishing exactly nothing. I thought about writing. I thought about drawing. I thought about thinking. But even my thoughts didn’t want to participate today.

Absolutely nothing got done… except one thing:

Another full day without smoking.

It’s funny—on a day where I had zero energy, even the cravings didn’t bother to show up. Apparently they also took the day off. Lazy cravings.

But hey, dull or not, dead or not, today still counts. Today is still progress. Today is still me choosing life and health over the old habit that nearly dragged me down.

And that’s worth something.

I got this!
