It’s been a week since I began my quest to stop smoking. In just that short amount of time, I’ve managed to cut my smoking in half, from 24 to about 12 cigarettes per day.
I suspect that things will go much slower now, though. I already only take a smoke break every 2 hours or so while I’m at work, so the program hasn’t come in to play there yet. Where it has, is after work, when all I’m doing is sitting on the computer all night and tend to chain smoke.
Since I made such a large cut so quickly, though, I decided to bump the program a month faster, so that I should be down to 2 cigarettes by the beginning of December.
So far, I’ve saved $18.45.
P.S. I finally got the wordpress app to work on my iPhone. Woo, this entire post was written in bed.
P.P.S. Seriously, the Single And Famous EP from MC Lars and K.Flay kicks ass… Check that shit out.

Dude keep up the good work. Cigarettes are evil
Congrats! That’s quite an achievement. I smoke, too, but not nearly that much. I don’t think I consider myself addicted – I used to smoke at certain times (driving home from work, between breaks in writing, at 1045am at work, whenever I drank) and whenever my routine gets disrupted (vacation or something) I find myself not needing to smoke. I actually went for quite a few months without smoking, but every now and then I get the urge (mostly because of people smoking on TV) and go back. But the fact that I never set out to “quit” takes my mind off of it. There’s something about thinking about not smoking that makes you think of nothing but smoking.
Anyway, what you’ve done already is admirable. Good luck!
