OH, STUPID...JUST STOP SMOKING!


I'm taking Chantix, an Rx to quit smoking. I hate smoking! It's essentially about addiction and habit, conditioning. I spend more each day to smoke than I do to eat (usually); to continue is an inevitible invitation to stroke, heart diesease, cancer, or early death; people I have known have died from smoking with heart diesease and lung cancer; no one I know and like smokes any more...I'm like the last one lighting up; my life is "quiet despearation" whether I smoke or not~smoking does nothing for me, it doesn't calm me down, it doesn't bring pleasure or make me "cool"; I smell like an ashtray! I must stop! I know some really stupid people who don't smoke and I'm very smart! What I spend each year on cigarettes could pay for round trip air fair and four weeks in Europe each year!

For a while, I'll monitor my path to quitting cigarettes here...
