Quit Smoking (read all 8 entries…)
i need to Q U I T 17 months ago

last time this was a goal it only lasted about a month. then i lost and started the habit again.

i’ve been wanting to quit for a while. it’s so hard. temptation is everywhere. now i want to try to quit again. i want to be healthy.

i went to the Body Worlds Exhibit this weekend. i saw my lungs. they were black and ugly. i felt really uncomfortable standing there over the case. i almost didn’t even want to read the cards. i just felt like everyone was going to tell me something because im a smoker. i kinda made my way out because i just couldn’t do it anymore.

there was a station set up where you could pledge to quit and dump your cigarettes in a box. Meli and patti urged me to do it but i was embarassed so i didn’t and i had just bought a pack. it was so awkward.

why am i not embarassed when smoking in public?
