RE: New Steemit incentive to quit smoking as a group!
Sounds like someone speaking from experience there. Many thanks for sharing that. Wise words.
Indeed, what I seek is the freedom to make my own choices and not have them made for me by an addiction to a drug. Never say 'never'! Better to say 'moderation' :)
Though to begin with I think it will be total abstinence, just to remind me what that feels like.
I love the idea of a quality cigar in the fridge. Could have done with one of those a few weeks back when my daughter was born :)
Yeah, I agree with you about a cigar when your daughter was born. When I was born, I would've loved a cigar. Oh well. =p
But yeah, if you choose total abstinance, then that's your choice, and I know you'll make it. Remember that you can't stop all at once though.
What I'd do is cut it drastically, however.
Ration cigarettes or cigar portions for the next week. Let's say you currently smoke 12 cigarettes a day. On day one, smoke eight. On day two, smoke four. One day three, smoke two. And on the last day, smoke your final one, maybe with a sip of fine wine, and then you are at zero.
And you cannot divide zero. =]
That's what my plan would be, at least. I know it's troublesome to have a physical addiction overcome breaking a mental addiction. Drugs are extremely dangerous, and although I love 'em, safety and responsibility is more important than anything else.
