Yet again, I have made the decision to stop smoking. I don't think many people even knew I smoked, but I've decided that I want to stop. Smoking has taught me something about habit; in order to break this habit, I know that I'm going to have to habituate myself in every moment to tell myself that I need to stop

A little bit about my quitting process : I will list all the reason I want to quit and carry them around in my pocket, and everytime I want to indulge in the unwanted action I look at the list. BAD LUNGS, POISON IN THE BLOODSTREAM, DISAPPOINTMENT WITH MY SELF FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DO SOMETHING SO SIMPLE - the last one usually works. not the first time, but eventually.

Yeah, I need to get some system to rid myself of the desire... I don't know. I'm going to keep meditating for now, but I know I have to actually physically DO something.

I didn't know that you smoked. How long have you been smoking? I remember that, maybe a year ago, maybe two I guess, you asked me if it would be okay with me if you smoked cigars. I thought about it and said that I wouldn't really be comfortable with that. You explained that you had been thinking about it. I'm curious if you were already smoking but were too embarrassed to tell me?

Edit: I can't believe I forgot to wish you the best of luck and strong will. *hugs*

Actually, I've only been smoking for about 3 months; ever since I moved out of my parent's house. I don't think I'm smoking because of that... I actually don't smoke cigars anymore. It's wierd, as much as I try to control my mind, something seemingly so simple is so difficult to overcome.

*hugs back* I need all the support that I can get! Thank you so much :)
