Blog Thread III : Look Who's Blogging Now
allison:
My friends and I were planning a cottage weekend, but I work a lot and we were having trouble picking a date. I thought plans had just kind of fallen through and were forgotten, but all of their Twitters are exploding with "Wooo going away with my 4 besties" and crap like that. I guess they just... figured it out without me. Didn't even tell me they were going to go anyway - if they had, I'd have said "Sorry dudes, gotta work" and it would have been all good. But now I feel sad.
On the bright side, saw my fella this morning, and starting Sunday we have 3 days together! eeeee!

Seriously, you are really really lucky to be able to say that. Between the new tax and higher prices here anyways, my brand is almost 11 dollars a pack. Thank god I am giving it up. I definitely will miss smoking, because it is exactly that quiet reliable lover, but I also am very excited to be able to breathe and not cough up terrible shit and want to die. I just really hope that in the long run my lungs will recover from the hell I put them through as a teenager/young adult.
Tonight I went along with some friends from work to hang out on a mountain and watch the meteor shower, then 24 hour greasy spoon diner. Jawesome.

No - but you also have to accept the inevitable (as opposed to what people think is inevitable, but actually isn't).

Emaline, I highly recommend that one of your transitions with regards to your smoking habits is to switch to hand-rolling your cigarettes.
It's SO much cheaper (like 20-30% of the factory-pack price, when you break it down) and you're (slightly) less likely to end up giving your money to Republicans. They also taste better, and the tobacco is higher quality and doesn't have nasty chemicals in it. And you basically end up smoking fewer cigarettes automatically, because you have to roll each one individually (even a rolling machine takes a little bit of effort) and they tend to give you a little more of a nicotine buzz anyway.
I recommend Bali Shag if you can find it. It's awesome. Nowadays I smoke about a half a clove cigarette a day (I roll the tobacco out of it and then hand-roll a cigarette with it, partly because I love rolling my own smoking implements and partly because it lets me get 2-3 smokes out of each cigarette, and cloves are expensive) but when I smoked non-spiced tobacco, Bali Shag was my shit.

Oh god roll-your-owns. My roomate and I did that in college. Sit for an hour or two and fill a shoebox with cigarettes. If you are looking to cut back, don't do roll-your-owns. When you have half a pound of tobacco sitting in your drawer, you'll be rolling a cigarette whenever you want. And it isn't a hard process. Most of the machines are hella easy.
Plus, you'll look at that zip-lock baggie of delicious tobacco and say "I had better use this up before it gets stale."
And it will get stale if you don't use it.
I quit 2 years 8 months and 12 days ago. Cold turkey. I saved so much money that I was able to become a mostly-functional alcoholic and gain 20 pounds.
Anyone else quit smoking and immediately gain weight?
