Well, Nick and I finally did it. We quit smoking. Cutting down just wasn't working. We did go from 2 1/2 to 3 packs a day (I can't believe I smoked that much!!) down to 10 cigarettes a day, but that just wasn't good enough. We got sick of the smell, the cost, the way it made us feel, the time we wasted (especially since we vowed to not smoke in the new house), everything about it. Eventually, we just got sick of smoking all together. There wasn't even one thing we liked about it. We realized we couldn't do it without help (at least we couldn't before, so why set ourselves up for failure again) so a couple weeks ago we decided we'd buy one more carton and when it was gone, the next day we'd start the patch. So, as of the time I'm typing this, we've been smoke-free for 2 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes and 10 seconds, and we've saved $8.40. Yay us!
