Quit Smoking
This is it.

I’m sick. I guess i have a sinus infection or something, but I can’t breathe and I’m hacking all kinds of stuff up. My throat is raw and my ears hurt. So it’s 10:08 a.m. I went out the past couple of nights and smoked a bunch, Now I reeeeally can’t breathe. I’m sitting at my desk at work and I’m out of breath. I’m 26 and I’ve been smoking 10+ years. It’s terrible. And I’m a true “smoker”. I’m not someone who smokes when I’m out, or when I drink, etc. I’m not one of the lucky “I can take it or leave it” people. I wanna smoke all the time. When I get up, after eating, before bed, when I drink coffe, when I drink alcohol, when I’m outside…it’s just getting worse and I have to stop.

So I figure now is as good a time as ever. I’m already sick so my breathing is twice as bad. And I’m gonna feel like crap anyway, right? Might as well do it now. So Anyway, I guess I’ll get one of those quit counter things and start it at 10:00 this morning. So here we gooooo…..

I’m going to make this (43things.com for those of you reading this in my livejournal) my default page on my computer so I can keep a constant reminder. I guess I’ll just get on here really quick when I want to smoke. Or maybe I’ll write something….or something. We’ll see.

I’ve quit once before, for a few months and what people say is right…NEVER TAKE ANOTHER DRAG or it’s all effed.

Wish me luck! No, not luck…I won’t quit smoking by luck. Wish me Strength!

Great!

That’s wonderful that you want to quit smoking!!

I’ve heard that it takes people on average 7 times to quit smoking, so if you don’t make it this time for whatever reason ( and have to cut your hair really short ;) I hope that you won’t let that get in the way of trying again to live a healthy lifestyle by not smoking.

But I’m sure that you can do it if you put your “heart” to it :)

You can do it! Just take it a minute/hour/day at a time. It only gets easier the longer you go without smoking. It won’t get harder!!
