I've never confessed it online anywhere before, but I've been a smoker for 7 years. Nearly a pack a day. I got started during a relationship with a smoker. What started as a way to bond with her became a way to escape being near her for 7 minutes multiple times a day when the relationship went sour.
I used to be really opposed to smoking, but it was a dark time in my life. When she left, owing me a couple thousand dollars and breaking our lease, I was glad to be rid of her - it was worth every penny. But I still smoked.
And the problem was that I liked it. A lot. But it's gotten old. I'm tired of being out of breath, tired of having no money, and don't want to end up with emphysema like my grandfather did.
I've made a few half-hearted attempts to quit before, but always went back. I work a stressful job, and 3 weeks was enough with no cigarettes the last time. I caved, and went right back to it.
But I have a friend who quit using an app. I'm looking at either Get Rich or Die Smoking, or the one just called Quit Smoking. Both show not only the health benefits you're gaining, but the money you're saving. (Think of all the motors I could have bought if I weren't spending nearly 10 dollars a day on cigarettes!)
Now I'm also enlisting the help of public knowledge of my smoking and quitting.
Any smokers out there want to join me?
