Ok. this is it.
my empty case of cigarettes. my last cigarette was yesterday morning.

i've quit.

i'm on day two now. and feel fine. i don't think i was ever really a smoker. i barely even smoked. but... i'm no longer able to afford it.

so there it is... the empty pack... to symbolize the empty lungs i will soon have!

Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I hate smoking. Hate smokers (ok don't hate them, but that they do it) Plus its horrendiously bad for you.

I really hope you can stay off of them. And just think of what that $ could be going to!!! xo

Glad to hear that you are quitting. Always remember though that rehab is for quitters.

That's so awesome! My ex-MIL quit smoking after smoking for 50 years, and after she quit her lungs really did clear up (well as much as they could have for 50 years worth of somking). . . but that is awesome!

Congrats on quitting!!!! :)

I just finished my last pack a few days ago....and I'm teetering on quitting, mostly because I need to save money. I know, I know, I should be doing it for health reasons, but I'm being honest. The past few days haven't been so bad, so it might stick.

I like your blog! :)

hey there. found your blog off of links off of comments off of other links =].

congrats on quitting. it's been an on off thing for me. i don't think i'm really a smoker either, i just tend to do it when i'm in the "right" environment. i smoked for a solid 5 years when i was in new york, and now that i'm back upstate... nothing. my lungs feel great, but some days... i do find myself wanting to kick back and just have a smoke.

i guess i just can't bring myself to spend $6-7 every 2 days. saving money is a HUGE incentive when you're a student again =].

GOOD LUCK!
