I decided last night to give up smoking. After thinking long and hard about it I've realized that I've been smoking because I could smoke, if you know what I mean? And while I'll be giving up the smokes I'll not be giving up smoke, which means that even though I'm quitting fags I'll still have to dabble in it to roll myself a doobie.
So this is Day 1 of "Operation: Purification."
Haven't even been hankering for a ciggie all day, and after 8-9 years of smoking I thought I might be looking for one. But I think it's more of a test of character than any other reason why I gave up because I repeatedly tell people that if I want to quit I'll quit and that's it. Hopefully this attitude will stick with me coming into the third or fourth week. I managed to nail drinking on the head, why can I not do the same to smoking?
I've got a master plan for every time I'm jonesing for a smoke. Every time I get the urge, I'm going to learn something new on the guitar. Maybe shift my addiction? IS it possible? I hope so. Wish me luck, guiz!
