the patch-5 months

Today marks five months since I started on the Patch.

No, I have not had a patch stuck to my back for the past five months.
Yes, it is five months since I gave up smoking.
No, I have not gone the whole five months without a smoke.
Yes, I have gone the whole five months without buying smokes.
No, I'm not a bum.
Yes, I have saved money.
No, I haven't done anything in particular with the saved money.
Yes, this list is growing tedious.

money saved so far: $675

Holy shit.

Mental health: borderline crazy some days. other days pretty happy no to be smoking.
