So...I re-quit as of Tuesday.

I've quit smoking about 3 times now, give or take. I quit after I got pneumonia at my friend Oren's pool party; I quit after my friend Glennis's 30th b-day; I quit when packs in NYC went up to 10 bucks.

Each time, I've done great right out of the gate. Then, I allow myself one or, even worse, allow myself to be talked into one. It's sad. I've decided that I no longer like this.

I am going to start an informal list of reasons why I quit. I think there's some sort of ad campaign that does the same thing (probably to get you to take some drug the pharmaceutical companies are peddling thru some sort of handshake with the tabacco industries) but, they can go screw. This is for me. Enjoy (and, like me, hope this sticks).


Reason #1: My friend Daniel burned me with his cigarrete & left a scar when we were on a smoke break together.

Good luck, Brandy. Quitting is easy, but staying quit is a BITCH. The only thing that keeps me from starting smoking again is that I don't ever, ever, ever want to have to quit again.

Oops. I'm an idiot. I just realized this post from from a while back. Hope your quitting is working out!
