One Week Down

Well....I finished my first full week of not smoking! Whew! It seems like a month! But it is getting easier each day. But, I know that at any time I could fall back if I give in to temptation. It's happened before....too often. I can't let it happen this time. I must stay strong at all times. I've thought about going on the patch as well, but it's too late now, I think. I haven't smoked in a week, and starting on the patch would get me back to my nicotine addiction. What I'm battling now, is the psychological addiction. And that's when it gets hard.

K-State lost a nail-bitter to Auburn tonight. It was terrible! I was proud of how well they played though. If it hadn't been for the 15+ penalties for about 150 yards, we would've won, no doubt. We beat ourselves. KU smacked Central Michigan. I don't know the final score, but KU scored in the 50s. I hope we have two real good Big 12 teams in Kansas this year. It looks promising!

Les and I go to Manhattan tomorrow to practice our number for his show next weekend. He's playing at the KSU Alumni Center. It's a benefit for the Beach Museum at K-State. We are doing "Me and My Shadow" again. Then on Saturday, Les and I are going to watch the K-State football game from Tim Weiser's box! Tim Weiser is the Athletic Director at KSU. Should be a blast. Les warned me not to say anything or make any reference to my affection for KU athletics. What can I say...I'm a little confused. I just love any team from Kansas! But lets not talk about my beloved Chiefs....Uuuuugh!

Go Teams!

Hey bro - I'm thrilled at your success so far - don't give up. I know what its like - I've gone through what you are many, many times as well. Just take it one craving at a time - and then one day at a time. Just like you have - distraction is your best defense - any kind of distraction. Keep it up bro - its worth it. I can't tell you how good it feels to be where I am now - finally. Not to crave one in the car was my biggest challenge.
Love you - don't give up on yourself - you are worth it!!!
