Day 1
Anybody else choose to quit on July 4 so it would be easy to remember the date?
Some background — I always thought cigarettes were disgusting and that I would never get into them. But I was a huge stoner and used to live around the corner from a jazz bar in Dallas. I’d smoke with a lot of the musicians in between sets. One rolled up spliffs. I took a liking to them and the rest is history. I’ve been smoking spliffs daily for about three years now. Got to the point where I would no longer roll up with weed. (I would always roll up my tobacco, I never got into smoking cigs straight from the pack.)
Tried to quit probably dozens of times. Noticed my lung capacity diminish incredibly. Girlfriend and friends always said I stank.
But I committed to today, and for some reason I haven’t felt any strong urges to go out and buy another bag? Part of the reason might be it’s hot as fuck here so I don’t really have the motivation to do much of anything, including walking the two minutes to buy a pack of roll-up American spirit baccy.
I’m sure those urges will come back. Might have to consider going to patches or gum but I’m committed to seeing it through. Also giving up the weed because I’ve come to dislike who I am when I’m constantly stoned. Also giving up the booze for a bit because why the fuck not.
Wish me luck!
