The morning of the New Year's Lantern Festival, I ate the self Cooked dumplings, even if it is a holiday. The habit of the meal is usually a cigarette, the so-called "a cigarette after the meal than the living God", because the first night to get rid of the cigarette, no more cigarettes, can only helplessly carry a cup of tea, go downstairs to walk around the neighborhood to see.
I first walked to the nearby Tanxi Shengjing, the pool water is still flowing, the ice at the edge of the pool can still walk, because the security guards, no one walking on the ice. I was tempted to sit on a chair by the pool, smoke a cigarette and enjoy the scenery in front of me, but there were no more cigarettes on me, so I didn't stop and went straight to the West Sea.
The ice surface of the West Sea has shrunk, the south edge of the water is large, the ice played a protective role in the iron fence is gone, the ice is empty. Based on my own experience over the years, the ice along the north edge is safe and not guarded by security personnel, I went down to the ice right from the northwest corner and slowly skated towards the northeast corner. In the middle of the West Sea, I was alone on the ice, and from time to time there was a rattling sound of ice as the water flowed under the ice. At this time I want to smoke a cigarette, enjoy the feeling of standing alone in the middle of the West Sea, but the rattling of the ice, so that I have a sense of fear, and hastened towards the northeast corner of the river edge, safe on the shore.
Yesterday, I made an appointment to go to a friend's house for lunch at noon, so I went northwest from Deshengmen, took the ice cellar mouth hutong, and returned to my residence on Wenhuiyuan Road. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get a good deal on the way back, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to get a good deal on the way back, so I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal on the way back.
At noon, I had a lunch with my friend's family, and it was his birthday, so I had to drink a lot of wine on such a good day. They treated me very well, because I was happy, a bottle of red wine I drank half of it, I was dizzy, especially want to smoke after drinking, but I was embarrassed in front of my friends, "breaking the rules.
In the tangled and intolerable emotions, at five o'clock in the afternoon I returned to the residence. In order to give myself a greater pressure, I improvised a "darling, I will not kiss you from now on" declaration of smoking cessation, and in the publication, to accept the supervision of the test. Some friends gave encouragement and encouragement, more people are skeptical, questioning. A day of quitting, a day of suffering, I can not easily give up the commitment, must persist, with action to return to encourage my friends, with the perseverance to answer the question of my friends.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, I finished watching the Lantern Festival party, and read a book, and went to sleep early. The first day of quitting smoking was successful!
On the sixteenth day of the first month, in order to distract myself, I started a day of "Sunday Slow Beijing". Directly to the West Sea skating first, the ice is getting smaller and smaller, but more than a dozen skating enthusiasts, I approached to see are middle-aged and older people, they are together to cut the exchange of skates wearing ice skates skating skills. I can't understand, and I'm going to walk to the back of the sea after a while.
The back of the sea is much quieter, the shore of the people are very few, there is no longer an iron fence on the ice, no one, not to mention the last week's bustle. Only seven days of time, the back of the sea changed so much huh? I want to think about this by smoking a cigarette, fortunately, they understand in their own hearts: this is an excuse to deceive themselves and others.
In the back of the coast side of the hutongs to walk around, past the Palace of Prince Gong, a celebrity residence, a university site, etc., to me the most heavy impression is the public **** restroom, especially clean and neat, and installed air conditioning, want to smoke can not bear to destroy such a good environment.
Continue to walk south, I don't know I got to the north gate of Beihai Park, bought a 15 yuan adult ticket (Beijing people with ID free), this is my first time to the North Sea this year.
The Beihai Park is a park, and it is also particularly crowded. On the way south, men and women, young and old, bustling, there are photography enthusiasts focusing on shooting birds, ducks, fish, monuments, singing Peking Opera, square dancing, playing the harmonica, playing games, and more parents holding children, young people accompanied by older people, friends with friends to play together. I went from the north bank to the east bank, climbed the Yongan Temple and the White Pagoda on Qiongdao Island, then returned and went to the west bank to see the Nine Dragons Wall, the Five Dragons Pavilion, and the Little West Heaven. Going out from the west gate, crossing the bridge over the Royal River to the east, climbed the Tuan Cheng. From the Tuan Cheng to see the Middle Sea, the South China Sea, close at hand, "sea" is frozen. I spent two to three hours in Beihai Park, attention to the beautiful scenery, naturally forget about the smoking thing.
In the afternoon, along the west wall of Zhongnanhai, walking to the spirit of the hutong, Xidan shopping mall, in the Beijing Book Building to read an hour, bought a Lin Yutang's "my country, my people". I wanted to smoke during the reading, but the environment didn't allow it, and it felt really torturous.
In the evening, after returning to the residence, I watched two games of Go on TV and went to bed early. The day was very rewarding, despite being very tired and walking more than twenty kilometers a day. Quitting smoking the next day was also successful.
Today is my third day of quitting smoking. From six o'clock in the morning to get up, busy, heart feel very torment and pain, but I keep the bottom line, adhere to the commitment to themselves. It's easy to smoke, but it's hard to quit, and it's even harder to restrain your addictive habits. In fact, life is the pursuit of perfection and restraint of greed experience process, have a balanced mind in the process, happiness and joy will always be accompanied by each of us.
Because of experiencing the irritation and joy of it, I am now very confident that today, the third day of quitting smoking will be successful.
And I am also very sure that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and in the future will be equally successful! Because I declared three days ago: "Darling, from now on I will not kiss you" ().
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day in the West, and by the way, I wish you all a happy holiday!
