Yeah, I'm pretty sure prices went up to $11 a pack here in Chicago, which was a small factor in quitting for me. I mean, I could afford it, but it made me cranky. Plus people were aggressive about asking for cigarettes and now I get a lot less street harassment.
I'm not sure what tipped me over from Not Quite There to Let's Do This Thing. I guess I'd been thinking about it for a while and then I got the Lord Voldemort of colds, so I figured I'd quit while I was already miserable.
My *problem* is that cigarettes are still relatively cheap here in PA.
Of course, that's over still $5, and I remember when they were $1 a pack.
I don't even have a psychiatrist.
I definitely bought two packs when I was in PA over the weekend, and wished I had gotten more!
But, you know... I can't quit before I go to Vegas in a few weeks....
I will support people quitting in any way I can and of course you can quit anytime Jesse.
I will just take all the money I've saved to buy a plane ticket to Hawaii this fall. We're waffling on what islands, though. Maui and Big Island, maybe? Or maybe just Big Island, because volcanoes.
Porn sex vs. real sex, explained with food. Not really NSFW, but better safe than sorry, I guess.
Timelies all!
Is it too much to ask that the guy(senior scientist) I work with let me know when he won't be in the lab? I was able to do some things today, but I'll have to wait for the next time he comes in to discuss the results.(With luck, that will be tomorrow)
I hope my previous post doesn't read as self-righteous because and back-patting as I think it does. I do not want to be that ex-smoker. I was just doing the math on how much a pack costs here and realized it actually would pay for a ticket to Hilo, oh my god.
