i am an ex.

i was going to wait until before class tomorrow, but i'm kind of excited:


today 11/6 is my quit date :)

now you may not share my enthusiasm, but know that it is there and in immense amounts from my end! i'm armed with nicotine gum and a trust-worthy friend or two. i'm even doing the Nicotine Anonymous thing with a good bud as my loyal sponsor. i feel like Tommy Gavin from Rescue Me with his Irish alcoholism problem.. i'm so young!

i've got to keep my hands busy. i'm going to be biting my nails and sticking my fingers in my mouth all day. but, can i still be sexy without my cigs, though? heh. it's just been a regular part of my life for a while. ugh, this is going to be hard re-working my life around smoking, but the need to do so is there and isn't going anywhere. my doctor suggests that i quit eventually and i know that it's for the best if i do it soon. it's something that i've been getting closer and closer to doing recently. been seriously thinking about it for months.

so tell me congratulations and good luck and other lovely things. i'm so happy for me!

yay! i feel so good about myself now! and "less chance" of lung cancer indeed! i'm virtually eradicating it since i haven't been a heavy smoker for very long. thanks for the support, i'll probably be needing it! i'll be updating about my progress de temps en temps.

I'm so proud of you! It takes a lot of work to quit after doing it for so long, so it's good that you've chosen to stop now before it's too late and you've been smoking for 30 years :p
I wish you good luck, and as for the sexiness...well I think you can pull it off! Especially without the tobacco breath, assuming you had that before lmao
Btw, I don't think seeing the Twilight movie would spoil anything for you. I'm sure after watching it on screen you'll want to read the books :D

Aww, at least you're trying. My mom keeps saying she'll quit and she tries for like a week and says screw it. =\

YAY good for you. You must be taking cues from carrie bradshaw. Remember when she quit smoking?

Yay! Congratulations! Biting your nails must be very common for you now.

Go Cherry!

Grats! ^^ Quiting something is hard, 'specially if you've gotten used to it >< But I'm sure you're be better off x3 And it's scientifically proven that not smoking increases your sexiness ten fold :)

Yeah,you can take the idea :P it'll be fun reading yours. I'm pretty sure I could pull it off, since I'm not being *too* far-fetched here. Though the coffin couch is expensive, I don't know where I'd get a hearse, and Brian might not be too fond of my decorating ideas. But other than that, I think I could pull off the rest. :P
