smoke less cigarettes

but only because I have the flu .. so not sure if this counts.

but I’ve been feeling more depressed today and that’s when I chain smoke. Oh well. Pretty sick and tired of banging my head against this wall.

Not going well this morning. Haven’t kept track but I think I’ve had 4 or 5 and am planning to light up the next one any moment now.

but I would like to bring it down to l0 or less a day. Can I? Will I? I would have loved to list this goal as “stopping” or say “3 or less” but I just don’t see that happening yet. One day, but for now 10 or less will do. Perhaps once I tick off other things on my list, it will be easier.

How to start .. I think perhaps writing down every cigarette I smoke for a few days, just to be more aware of when I smoke. Have tried and failed many times .. twice managed to quit for a year but went back. Things still to work through I suppose.

I’m trying to quit, not for my new years ‘resolution’ or anything, just because I know I should. This is day one sans-cigarette. I’ve been down to a couple a day so I should be okay.

If nothing else I have indeed accomplished this goal of smoking less.

so i’ve totally got this one down now. i quit smoking! i haven’t had a cigarette in over a week, and i hear that first week is the hardest part. go me! ^.

i’m doing really well with this, i decided yesterday that i’m quitting smoking. or at least only smoke occasionally and not all the time. i’m doing a good job so far!
one thing that sort of helped in a weird way.. i kept two cigarettes in my last pack so i figured i wouldn’t have a reason to buy another pack. they’re still sitting in my desk drawer, and they’re going to stay there. if they stay in my purse, they’re just going to get smoked!
but yeah, i’m pretty proud of myself so far

in conjunction with number 12 on my list..i am going to make a conscious effort to lower the number of cigarettes i smoke in a single day.

Now that I’m working as a Nanny (and not ALLOWED to smoke infront of the children) I’ve cut back to between 3 and 5 a day, even on my days off! :)

It’s a pretty simple goal… not much planning required… just don’t smoke as much as I normally do… Sigh
