I’ve been writing about my quit smoking journey for almost 3 years now, maybe longer. “Hey check it out I quit smoking!”…no wait …“Hey check it out I’m a failure and I’m smoking again” This has actually been going on for over 25 years.

This one I wrote back in 2018

Quit, smoke, quit, smoke.

I quit once for almost 3 years and was pretty damn proud of myself. I got into a terribly stressful situation and the first thing I did was reach for a cigarette. So much for that.

Then I quit through hypnosis. That was decent and lasted 2 years. Not sure why I started back up again. Doesn’t really matter anyway, does it?

According to Aspenridge Recovery, cigarettes are in the top 5 of the hardest drug to quit. Right…
