Hi everyone. I've been smoking since I was 14 years old, now 25. I've tried to quit multiple, multiple times in the past but can't seem to stick it out. If I could smoke 3/day I think it wouldn't bother me as much, but it seems like I am an all-or-nothing type of girl when it comes to substances. My throat always hurts, every morning I cough and feel disappointed in myself. I smoked the last cigarette in my pack last night thinking this morning I would pick some more up, but instead I woke up and forced myself to not leave the house and get more. It's almost 730pm and I'm very surprised I've made it this late despite it being torturous and the market is only minutes away... I almost got in my car many times. I didn't have to work today nor do I tomorrow, hard to say what will happen. Not sure why I even put myself through today cause I'm going to a outdoor concert next week and I know I'll smoke then... I guess I'm hoping to not be chained to tobacco. I hate that it control my life. I guess after the shows I would love to be able to live a smoke free lifestyle. Any advice?
