Status – Not Smoking

Done, cold turkey. I quit smoking (at least regularly) on or about April 19th 2008. I thought I would keep a record of it here, there is nothing like public humiliation to make one stick to something.

Smiles… (Yeah, if this really worked, no one would smoke. Shush, don’t tell Dharma.)

So far I have smoked twice since quitting. On those two occasions I smoked for a short amount of time, but quit immediately when I got home. They were with the same person, yes… I forgive myself heartily.

4/28/2008 – 05/02/2008 – The first time I quit quitting was when I drove my friend 2200 miles to get her and her belongings safely home. She doesn’t drive, but she smokes quite a bit. This may seem like an excuse, but I really did have a lot on my hands considering the circumstances. So in this case, I smoked on the road with my friend for the four days that it took to get her home.

5/21/2008 – The second was with that very friend again. I took a trip out to visit her for a day where I smoked for a couple hours then got home and quit immediately.

Watch here for more status…
