Is the FIRST year I will truly attempt to quit smoking (for real.)
I have cut down, from 20-30-(sometimes even 40) cigarettes a day …. to around 5-10 cigarettes a day….but I have never agreed to let it go completely, until now.
I have been a smoker since I was 11 years old. I have been smoking for a total of 21 years.
So much of my smoking is out of habit. The second I wake up, I light up. While having my morning coffee, SMOKE. As soon as I get out of the shower, SMOKE. While putting on make up, SMOKE. While waiting for the rollers in my hair to set, SMOKE. As soon as I get in my car, SMOKE. As soon as my phone rings, SMOKE. Right before and right after each and every meal (including snacks) smoke smoke smoke smoke. After a post, I re read it and SMOKE. After I finish a chapter in my book, smoke. If I am stuck on a chapter in my book, SMOKE. While at work, as soon as I finish an account I was working on, SMOKE. (you get the picture)
Smoking is so much a part of my life I cant really imagine not smoking. I don’t know if I can do it.
Even though there is a part of me that really does want to quit, there’s another side of me that does not want to quit at all.
But, I at least I have to TRY… even if I fail, I have to TRY.
So, here’s a picture of the LAST CIGARETTE I ever smoked:
I am hoping with the help of THIS product (see below) and many many xanax (to stop the inner and outer urges to SCREAM obsenities) constant chewing gum, and I heard somewhere brushing your teeth alot helps make the craving go away faster.
I’m trying right now….to get through day one. Here’s hoping!
Good luck… I really hope you’re able to succeed. And Happy New Year!!!
Thank you! I hope I do too… so far I just feel REALLY TIRED, but I think that’s from the xanax.
happy new year to you too~
I’ve quit also this year! So far so good! Just a matter of filing my free time! Stay with it!
Thanks Michael…. THIS SHIT IS HARD!!!!!
