Nicotine Stains

What the hell.

So I’ve been smoking cigarettes for the past 7 years or so and lately I’ve been getting nicotine stains on my top lip. I tried scrubbing it off the other day and now it looks like I have a damn cold sore or something (note: DON’T use a magic eraser on your skin. Yes, I was that dumb to try).

I read that lemon works, which I tried some time ago and it did but not by much. Humph.
I’M NOT quitting. Fuck that. If I go out with lung cancer then at least I spent my life enjoying my booze and cigarettes.
I figure I should try to train myself to switch up my method. I always smoke out of the right corner of my mouth and exhale through pursed lips, also on the right side. It’s weird trying to adjust but I think with time I’ll get used to it.

As for my diet; it’s been working out pretty well. I don’t have a scale so I have no idea if I’ve actually lost anything, but I feel thinner. I also feel a shitton better, much more energized and generally all-around great. All I drink is water with lemons (I’ve must have gone through at least 30 lemons by now) and eat anything low in calories that isn’t junk.
I had a greasy ass ham sandwich at work the other day, and man… I felt like like complete SHIT afterwards and it totally fucked with my stomach. Eating right is automatic now, I only crave healthy foods. I also move around a whole lot at work, so I’m getting a decent amount of exercise.

Life is good. Sometimes I think I’m dreaming, but these past couple of weeks have been marvelous. Not to mention I’ve cut down dramatically on my drinking, and nowadays I don’t blackout anymore but just fall asleep after only about 6 beers.
I’m smiling a whole lot these days. I think I owe it to myself.

Time to fuck shit up in Fallout 3…!

    That’s awesome that you’re feeling and being healthier. I should do that, but I love my food too much, sigh.
