Smoking

I quit smoking March 17, 2014. Then I took it up again mid-June. *slaps self*

Stupid cigarettes.

Today is the first of the month. DOING THIS AGAIN. Got my nicotine patches all ready. Honestly I'm very hesitant, but I've seen people make lists why they want to quit. I'll do that now, perhaps it'll help with motivation?

WHY MER SHOULD QUIT SMOKING

That's a very helpful story. The whole habitual part of it is really the biggest thing, now that you mention it. It's summertime and I love to sit outside in the backyard in nice weather, sometimes grab a drink, light up a smoke. Take the dogs out, light up a smoke. Wake up in the morning, coffee and smoke. Bored, smoke. Frustrated with whatever I'm working on, take a break with a smoke.

I have very few responsibilities right now because it's summer break from classes and I did have a job but I quit that because I was getting harassed by a couple of young dudes barely in their 20s, management wouldn't do shit, also wouldn't train me on like anything (which in some ways I ended up training myself) and kept putting me on "bussing duty" so wtf...I was just hoping a summer job would help me with keeping busy and having a little extra money. Keeping busy does help with staying off the smokes, though. I'm thinking maybe a bit of volunteer work and seeing the free employment counsellors at my parents' church. I don't want anymore jobs at the age of 27 where I get hit on by barely legal boys fresh out of high school. Apparently I look pretty young cause they often think I'm their age, so bleh. (Also they probably want alcohol). So. (Sorry for the long story, I get rambly sometimes).
