Today will mark the start of my 8th straight day without cigarettes.
It was also mark my first true day of fasting. A very religious boy named Jason tells me frequently that fasting is the best way to start to gain control over your mind and body. (He also says it's a good way to talk to God, but that's not one of my goals right now.) So I will try to go a whole 24 hours without eating anything; only drinking.
Normally, I would use smoking as a way to keep my mind off of food, but I no longer have that crutch. I find it isn't that hard to quit after the first few days. My mind no longer craved the drug after day 4 or so.
My body.... My body still does. But physical need is easier to ignore than mental dependency.
