Not going to lie, I'm pretty immune to the scare tactics. It causes cancer. In a lot of people. It's bad for my overall health. It's just not a good thing to do. I know that. I've quit for a year here, or a year there, or 6 months here, or 6 months there. When your upbringing is riddled with "Don't do [Insert some thing here], or you'll go to HELL!" Scare tactics aren't going to make me any more inclined to not do something.
The quitting isn't the hard part. It's the staying quit part. The problem is, I smoke the brand that I smoke, because..... I like the taste. As weird as that may sound to a non smoker, Camel Menthol Silver just tastes good to me when I'm smoking it.
that's why it's the next life goal to change. I ate, because I didn't know how to eat properly, or portion sizing, or the "why" of why things were unhealthy. Now I do. Now I know how to portion my food, and how to make sure that I'm eating balanced.
Next, is wrapping my head around making sure that I quit, and stay quit. Smoking is the last vice I have from a teenage life, and young adult life that was riddled with food, booze, drugs, and smokes.
People ask how I survived my "insane" (their word, not mine) Son of a Fundamentalist Christian Pastor upbringing. I became a pill popping, chain smoking, got my girlfriend pregnant at 16 musician who didn't give two shits about my own health or well being. All in all, at 33, almost 34, and the last thing I have to kick is Smoking, I think I've recovered quite well.
One step at a time, One foot in front of the other. The big thing for me, will be finding a way to quit smoking while I go back to college.... AGAIN. I'm going to get my Bachelor's in Digital Marketing sewn up. That should make me infinitely more marketable for new jobs. My Associates, while it's a good degree, and I'm not ashamed of it at all, just isn't enough to find myself in a position to do what I want to do.
