Smoker No More

I am a smoker.

But I soon will not be.


Feb. 28 2010 will be my last day spent on this dirty, gross habit.

Because this is a dirty topic, I have to post some cute pictures to balance that.

It shouldn't be too hard,
I've quit a kajillion times before.

But, I always seem to go back.

In my head, smoking helps me cope.

Calms me down when I am stressed.

Gives me a break time, to sit and have a smoke.

Now, I know this is not true.

Smoking actually raises cortisol,
the stress hormone,
and actually stresses you out more.


This I know, and understand.

I want to quit because of her.
And the rest of them.

And also because there are waaaay better things to spend my money on.

Like Mexico.

A horse barn.




And in winter I have a chronic cough.
"Smokers Cough."

Not sure why it goes away in the summer.

But all winter I struggle to breathe,
and I cough. And hack.

It's not pretty.

I am posting this on here, 'cause I think it will keep me accountable.

Every day I will do an update on my journey to be a non-smoker.


If my posts are a little crabbier, you'll know why.

One day left!!
