My Love/Hate Relationship with Cigarettes
Soooo….I managed to kick the drinking habit. It’s been almost 9 months, but I can’t seem to lick the smoking habit. I am not a pack-a-day smoker, nor I’m a social smoker. I’m more of an impulsive smoker. I just get the urge and I go with it. I am currently salivating as I write this. I am currently thinking about buying a pack on the way home from work. I have quit smoking cold-turkey before, but it wasn’t totally quitting because I continued to smoke on the rare occasion.
So, here’s my plan: My next blog will totally gross you out. I’m going to find the most disgusting smoking related pictures that I can and post them. Pictures of emphysema patients, black lungs, stained fingers…you name it. I intend to shock myself into not smoking.
I’m interested to hear your smoking histories and methods of quitting. I have one friend that says he would get sunflower seeds with the shell and chew on them until the urge went away. What do you do? Stay tuned for the grossest blog of life…
I quit for about a year (I was prenant so that was the big incentive lol). I bought cinnamon sticks and kinda chewed on them and held them… they sure helped an awful lot…
Well I wish you luck with quitting. Ooh there’s also that freaky lady that used to do that commercial that had the hole in her throat. See if you can find one of those since that always freaked me out.
