re: #429 MrSilverDragon

I’m currently into my 2nd month of no smoking, and boy-oh-boy it’s an uphill climb. 25 years of a habit is not easy to just drop. There has been one faulter in that time, but I’m doing my best to stick to my guns. It’s also nice to know that I’ll be saving $200 or so a month by not spending money on something that will inevitably kill me.

Had I known then back in the day what a pain in the ass quitting is, I would never have started… but I was young, foolish, and willing to submit to peer pressure. So, time to pay the devil his due, as it were.

I thought I was a casual smoker, just 2-3 ciggies a week, for pleasure only. But I decided I would just let my last pack of tobacco run out and not replace it “for the time being”.

Even decided not to fetch a pack of tobacco when I was shopping today.

Got home this evening, had a serious nic fit and went out and emptied the bin and rolled up the butts I found there.

Must not ever, ever do that again, ever.
