Random Thoughts

I've been smoking for about 30 years and the sad thing is, I started smoking regularly when I was an adult with 4 kids. Before that I'd have a smoke every once in awhile. Not that I "needed" to smoke, I'd just do it for the heck of it. But one day I realized I'd been smoking more and more often and was becoming addicted...and now 30 years have gone by.

Wouldn't it be nice to have all that $$ back?

I haven't been to a doctor in years, but the smoking is catching up to me. I need to get some medical insurance, but don't want to admit to an insurance company that I smoke...the premiums are higher for smokers. I need to be quit before I get insurance or I won't be able to afford it at all.

Going on a cruise in March '09. I want one of the cameos I saw in Roatan on my last cruise there. Saving the $$ from smoking would buy me a very nice one. Good incentive.

I've already stopped smoking in the house, now I need to get rid of some triggers related to smoking outside. No cigarettes when I ride my quad down to the river...good place to start. No cigarettes in the garden...another relatively easy one, I think.

Note to self: Get to work on this!!
