I hope to one day only smoke one or two a day. Right now I smoke 2 packs of menthol 100's a day. It's just not good.
..and menthols are even worse for you. Just that much more chemicals that you are inhaling.
When we first switched to the 72', I was smokin them like crazy (being used to the camels, of course) and my wife would bitch about leaving her none for the end of the week. We both made it to were we helped each other cut back by using communal thinking.
Now, sometimes at the end of the week we have 2 extra packs in the carton, meaning me an my wife shared 8 packs of 72's in 7 days - something I never thought I could accomplish. I did some crunching and found out I have cut my habbit down to a third of what it used to be...and I find myself going more and more days without smoking any cigs at all, or maybe just one or two.
Let the anal retentives complain about that one or 2 cigs...its people like that who piss me off the most. Instead of praising people for making a positive direction, they nit pick everything and expect perfection. FUCK THEM!
You want to change, yes? Then I suggest you make the smallest change first.
Switch over to lights.
or
Stop smoking 100's and smoke smaller cigs
or
Dont go to a bar ( I smoke the most in a bar)
You know what I mean...pick one small change and stick with it...and give it some time...give it a couple of months to see if it works.
Baby steps...and dont dwell on a goal....dwell on the here and now.
Life is a journey, not a destination
