It came to a point where I could consume almost a pack of cigarettes (20 pieces) in just one day.

Now I'm cutting it down to two sticks.

Gad.  I haven't even started quitting yet and here I am already experiencing those withdrawal symptoms.

- crankiness

- depression

- uber increase in food cravings

But I'm holding on to this. I really am.

I guess my most astig moment so far (I've been cutting down for two weeks now) was my cousin's birthday bash.  I already had my two sticks for that day, and I was able to make it stay that way until the inuman session was over. Happy.

I dunno.  Maybe this ain't news for you, but it is for me.  It really is.  For the past five years of being a yosi addict, I've already resigned to the idea of dying with lung cancer.  Guess I always thought that I just didn't have the discipline to quit.

Basta.  Basta.

Two sticks for a month.  One stick for another.  Then hopefully after two months, quit. *crosses fingers*

For the people I love.
