nicorette.

[perth]

this stuff doesnt even taste good. sure, its like an orange tictac, for about 2 seconds. then its like chewing on pepper. 'the tingle tells you its working'. not a pleasant thing.

the only time im really tempted to smoke is when im at work, and that makes it an especially hard habit to break, because theres a social aspect to it. but my motivation to quit in the first place was the birth of my son 9 months ago. when hes 10 years old and wants to go play catch or go hiking, i want to be able to keep up with him. i dont want him to have to explain to his friends that his dad stinks at sports because he smokes.

so i put up a bunch of pictures of him around my cube. i cant leave my cube without his smiling face pleading with me to not light up. my guess is that the addition of pictures to my cube, not nicorette, will help me break this habit. guilt is a powerful motivator.

ive spent over $7000 on cigarettes in my lifetime. coincidentally, thats about how much i need to scrape together for a down payment on the house im buying. damn.
