Day 9

I never knew you smoked. Congratulations on taking the first step towards a life of pureness and good health. You'll be pleasantly surprised when more females start flocking toward you now. Most people these days prefer a smoke-free partner. Besides, what kind of example would you be setting for children if you smoked as a teacher?

Here's to 9 more days! Keep up the great work!

Great job so far. Noticed how your breathing and whatnot is getting better? At least according to another person I know he says his breathing is better and feel "better off" so I figure you may be having similar things

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Smoking is the last remaining vice of my misspent youth, and my girlfriend is very happy about me quitting. I still drink, but not nearly as much as I used to. I can remember spending $300 per weekend at the bars around me. It amazes me now how much I used to drink in my heyday. I could have honestly put down the downpayment on a house from what I had spent in 4 years as a young professional.

I haven't touched weed in 3 years and nothing else since 2000. Now I just need to drop the 50+ pounds I've gained since college.

Next stop... Slimsville.

I'm addicted to Popeye Tasty Candy Sticks right now.

But honestly, that's awesome. It reminds me of a Norm MacDonald comedy bit, where he talks about how the best thing about quitting smoking was the food.

"Oh my god! This is delicious! There's so much flavor, I can't believe it... I have to get this recipe off you! What do you call these?

What's that?

Boiled Potatoes? Ah, yes, I'll get that recipe for Boiled Potatoes... such a tangy, zesty flavor"

Well.... Quitting smoking isn't going to make that any easier. I wouldn't worry about it for now, just focus on getting rid of the cigs, they're far, far worse for you than the spare tire.

Definately. Take baby steps. It's difficult enough to quit smoking. Trying to quit two bad habits at once just makes it all the more difficult.
