My body is trying to tell me something
I'm sick. I'm sure it's because I haven't been sleeping/eating/drinking correctly and the fact that it's been so hot and I've been in and out of air conditioning too much. AC is a funny thing. It's so refreshing, but it gives me wicked headaches and can give me a cold. But I decided yesterday to make the most of this cold and throw away my cigarettes. See, whenever I get a chest cold it's murder to smoke, but I usually do it anyway for a couple days until I can't stand it and finally take a few days off only to start up again. And after many failed attempts at quitting I thought this would be the perfect way to quit. I don't feel like smoking because my lungs hurt and I have alot of cogestion, so I thought I should just throw them away so when I do feel better I won't have any. Good theory, the problem is when I feel better I can always go buy more. But I don't want to anymore. I always thought when I was ready to quit that would be that, but it's not that easy. I don't smoke as much as most smokers do, usually around a half a pack a day, if that, but that doesn't make me immune to the niccotine withdrawl. I think the main thing that's kept me from quitting in the past is that I didn't really want to, but now I do, probably because I'm sick. So we'll see if it sticks this time. No, no, that's not what I should say. This time it WILL stick. I'll make it so. I know it's all under my controll, I don't believe in addiction, it's all about will power. If I smoke another cigarette it's because I chose to, so I just need to choose not to. Easy right? I'll let you know.
