Heavier strings on my guitar!

A couple of weeks ago I put heavier strings on one of my guitars - yearning for a deeper 'boom-chang' sound. It was a wise decision - although at the time I did not anticipate what those heavier strings would actually do for me. In fact - while they have given me the deeper 'boom-chang' sound, they have frustrated me beyond sanity! Much more difficult to play! All those chords that I thought I was getting pretty good at are not so easy to play now. HOWEVER - those heavier strings have given me the option to really really 'twang' away without actually breaking the strings! A wonderful method by which to set free the frustrations of the 'daily grind' and to transfer the built up emotion to something positive - MUSIC (well sort of music.....) During the last few days, I have been soooo tempted to back-slide and buy a package of cigarettes! Instead, I followed through with my original plan - which was to switch from the 4 mg lozenges to the 2 mg lozenges. (Actually, I have done this sooner that I planned, because the 4 mg were starting to give me the hiccups - and there is the continuing issue of the throat tickle! VERY ANNOYING - and often embarrassing! I am sure that this is caused by the lozenges..... On a previous post, I expressed concern about becomming a little 'pudgy' - which I am. However, I have decided to let go of that concern (for now). One thing at a time...make sure the nicodemon is dead first. The rest - well another time and another place.
