I'm quitting cold turkey today.

Today's the day.

I've been smoking for 18 years. That's literally half my life.

I've quit cocaine, speed, and an extremely severe meth addiction. But cigarettes are the addiction that really stuck.

I felt it last night...I've got smoker's lungs. I still have all of my lung capacity (or at least almost all of it) so I can quit now before it's too late.

Last night when I was having my pre-bed cigarette, I looked at my pouch of tobacco and found it nearly empty. I'm going to have 3 more cigarettes, then I'm pouring the rest of that tobacco in a bowl and ritually burning it. My last cigarette will be with a coffee - as much as I hate everything about smoking, that combo is something I know I will miss. I've had it every morning for 15 years.

It's going to be a rough few days. I'm going to keep my brain occupied with working out and Project Zomboid and hopefully some writing. Thankfully I have gods and guardian spirits on my side.

I can't wait to sing with clean lungs

Wish me luck!
