21 days and Major Depression

I'm sitting outside now so I can type and smoke.  Blogging and smoking just go together; the juices flow better that way.  It's scientific.  Look it up.

I made it a lousy three weeks and the depression got the better of me.  I had to take myself off the Chantix and once that was gone, it was just a matter of days before I had my friend back.  Between the depression and no Chantix, I didn't stand a chance.  Damnit Chantix!  Why can't I take it without the horrible side effects.  I had started down a very black and bleak familiar road.  And I knew Chantix was 100% responsible. 

Now I have a new friend, the PigCig!  It hasn't replaced the good ole light 'em if ya got 'em, but it may some day soon.  The PigCig is an electronic cigarette.  Actually it's not really a cigarette at all.  It is more of a nicotine delivery system that resembles a cigarette.  It consists of a rechargeable battery and a cartomizer that holds nicotine.  Nothing burns, one simply inhales pure nicotine (without all the tar and additives) and gets a "hit".  Love, love, love it!  Alot cheaper than traditional cigarettes.  One cartomizer last about as long as an old fashioned pack and a half.  Cost - $2.00.  Now if I could just make the complete transition, I would be much better off.  Still there is something about the burn and exhaling smoke.  Phillip Morris knows how to keep a customer, them sons-of-bitches.
