So in preparing for my quit date, I’ve changed my smoking routine a bit. Now instead of buying the 100’s I buy the shorts. I know it doesn’t seem like a big difference, but it is a least a couple of drags per cigarette. So, that means it’s a least 20 drags a pack and that’s at least a cigarette or two. So…in my mind I’m cutting back. And I’m buying cigs by the pack only. It’s suppose to slow you down because it doesn’t feel like there is a unlimited supply within reach and you have to go to the gas station to get more. I’m not sure if that really works, but I thought it couldn’t hurt. So when I ask for my brand of cigs, the woman asks if I want the 3 pack special. Um…..yeah, ok. I have until Tuesday to quit, right? Three packs makes it just about right. The cashier says hold on, let me make sure we have the 3 pack special in the shorts. No such luck. But they have the 3 pack special in 100’s (which I can tell you…no one ever carries). I was good, I resisted the temptation and said no thank you, I would go with the 1 pack of shorts. And surprisingly enough I didn’t feel like I was missing out on anything. I actually felt really proud of myself for sticking to my guns, and buying the smaller cigarettes and only one pack at that. J
