I smoke outside only nowadays and reduced a lot my intake.

It is very physical and at 2 cigarettes an hour I still feel heavy withdrawal, but nothing of course unmanageable.

I have three weeks to reduce by a third or half my intake daily, before I turn up in Montreal where no one smokes.

As I will smoke only outside there, I thought I would start practicing here so it not hard whatsoever when I am visiting on that front.

May the Buddha shelp me decrease dramatically forever. I spend 440$ a month on cigarettes. I want to bring that down to 220.

The day is spent drinking much caffeinated coffee and feeling alert and almost exciteable.

BJG has been fine for a while now. He may have to return to work in February or January.

I pray he keeps his precious job. Om shanti om! amen!

And we are never ever separated from our 4 pets, please Lord in the Sky and all Buddhas everywhere. Om ah hung benzra guru padme siddhi hung
