I've been a smoker for about .....24 or 25 years. Sad isn't it? I started regularly in nurses training where we all should have known better.
I quit once for six weeks, using the gum. I chewed like mad. Besides that, I've tried the little computer, cold turkey, candy, keeping notes. The only thing I haven't tried is a concerted effort, MINE!
We've been talking for years about becoming more homesteadish, self sufficient. But I need to go to the store for smokes and of course then you have to buy something else (or it'll look like you're an addict buying your fix). In order to be at home to do all the wonderful livestock and gardening things I want to do, I need to cut expenses. We talk about lowering the thermostat, cutting back on cable .... while I puff away almost $200.00 a month. YIKES! we could have a truck for that!
Yesterday I smoked about 35 cigs. Today 33 or slightly less. No grand leaps. Slow and steady wins the race.
Thank you all for being here.
