The Hardest Part of Quitting
Back in July, when I began two months of no cigarettes on my first quit attempt, I recognized that setting the quit date and handing Jeff that last, unfinished pack of cigarettes were the hardest parts of kicking the habit.
Now that I’m hung up on smoking one cigarette a day, I can’t:
- get motivated?
- focus?
- get tough with myself?
I just don’t know. I haven’t had much time to think about it, much less focus on giving up that one daily cigarette.
What I do know is:
- I absolutely don’t want to be a pack-a-day or even half-a-pack-a-day smoker. I don’t want to be a smoker–period.
- I don’t want to further damage my health.
- I don’t want to expose my family to second-hand smoke.
- I don’t want the expense of smoking.
- I don’t want to smell like smoke–yecch!
- I don’t want my car to smell like smoke. (Though it still could use a good cleaning.)
So what’s my blasted problem!?
