I’m at that point in life where I’m finally ready to be smoke free!
Over the last two years I have tried twice both with good intentions but always failed to quit. Nicotine patches, nicotine gum, hard candy, gum, chewing pen caps, you name it I tried it. Well with the exception of acupuncture and hypnosis.
Problem is a stress point always comes up and I chain smoke like an old Ford running on it’s last cylinder and a blown oil pan gasket.. LoL
Katy and I made the choice to quit again together. Instead of dealing with the patches or going cold turkey we are cutting down. We both smoke about a pack a day each. With 20 smokes in a pack we decided to cut down by 2 each new day.
Sunday the limit was 18:
I had a migraine and spent an early evening in bed so only smoked 9 total. Yay.. pfft If I had felt better that would have taken a miracle to accomplish.
Today Monday the limit was 16:
At almost 11:30pm I’m at 15 and OMG is it so hard!!
In addition to quitting we made a new house rule no smoking inside the house. Normally smoking is restricted to the computer office and a corner of the living room. The hubs is so not enjoying this new rule. He is not trying to quit right now. When he is ready yay but I’m not forcing him to do so.
I’m making it as difficult as possible to smoke for myself. I’m keeping my cigarettes in my car so I have to put on shoes and walk to the car which I parked at the end of my LONG driveway each time I want one.
Tomorrow I am considering taking my smokes next door to my parent’s house. When I want one I’ll have to walk over there smoke it and walk back. Now it’s not a long walk unless you smoke a pack a day. But it is a good distance we are about a football field apart.
We’ll see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully everyone in my house will remain alive and not having any missing limbs after incurring my wrath. ; - )

WooHoo we can do it!
Please don’t put your cigarettes at your parent’s house. I’m not ready to have my head ripped off every time you want a smoke and remember you have to go all the way over there!
