Hectic, But Persevering

Things are just not seeming to be letting up here.  But, I am coping and managing ok at the moment.  Earlier this week, I was feeling very angry about life, and was having a challenging time.  But I forced myself to try to view life differently and yesterday and today have been much better.  The anger was (of course) about work, and unfortunately also led me to be angry at home as well.  While I was more angry than I should have been about things around home, I apologized and things are back to normal there as well. 

Yesterday, I geared myself up to test my mettle in regards to my pipe.  What I decided was that I was NOT going to smoke my pipe at all on Wednesday.  Well, I did not succeed.  But, I did wait until 4pm.  It is a little bit of a start in my goal.  I am going to think through my next effort in this regard and try to implement it in the next few days.  I am thinking that what I may do is simply go back to the reduction of total number of bowls I smoke in a day as my first goal.
