It has now been nearly 3.5 years that I quit that stick. Not been easy. But hell I did it.
I started smoking at 20, when this boy I liked fancied a girl who smoked. Such a frickin' cliche right, peer pressure. Well, the guy didnt go for even after i stopped... And I'm kinda glad now 😊
Anyway, my sister (younger) literally had to "teach" me how to smoke. We used to buy 3 classic milds for 10 rupees and used to light up when our folks were asleep. After 17years of hard smoking (13-14 a day) i quit.
Actually there were 2 cute 9month breaks in this smoking schedule (more later).
I quit because i want to do so many things in my 40s, and even more in my 50s. I want to start something new every decade. And have sex every single day in my 70s. I quit cos i was such a slave to it, hiding/ washing hands/ spraying mint every 15mins. I stopped smoking because most people who smoke look ugly and desperate (there are exceptions). I quit smoking cos i have so many things to improve in my life, and this was starting with the toughest thing (always start exam prep with the toughest subject, nay?).
Credit to a book called "the easy way to quit smoking" by Allen Carr. Basically a ton of brain washing, but it worked. Unfortunately Mr. CARR himself died of lung cancer later in life.
The fact i wont be dying anytime soon makes me feel great. But i miss it every single day!
