April 5

Today’s the day I try again.

As COVID hit in 2020, I slowly took to cigarettes, then nicotine replacements like mints and gum, then vapes, then back to cigarettes. I quit for a month and then, in a moment of weakness, gave in and doubled down on them HARD.

Today, I try again.

I don’t feel ready, I don’t feel like I want to give up the cig buzz.

But, I’m sick of wanting to quit. The quicker I quit, the quicker I give up the distraction of thinking of and wanting a cigarette.

So, I’m calling it a Strong 30. 30 Days, I’m going to not smoke. I’m going to not lean into sweets or alcohol to replace it. I’m going to watch caffeine intake. I’m going to focus on walking, moving, stretching more. 30 Days, knowing I need to be strong. Knowing it’s going to suck. And knowing it’s worth it.

30 Days, and then I’m free. That’s the goal, babes.
