How Do I Quit Smoking When I Don’t Want To? Please Help.?
Thursday, November 19th, 2009Ok….so I’m just 20 years old and have been smoking for 2 years (since I was legally old enough basically). I smoke about a half a pack a day. Its something I really enjoy, one of lifes little pleasures to me…
Well…the thing is I’ve been thinking about quitting… But NOT because I want to. Just because I do Karate and I have trouble keeping up sometimes and what with the nationals coming up and all… I would be a lot better if I stopped smoking. Also, just the general thing ya know… I will be healthier, yadda yadda…
My question is… Should I even bother? My list of reasons is so small… basically, “I wanna do better in Karate” and “I figure I should quit while I still can…before its to late and I realize I DO want to quit but can’t.”
Will I even be able to quit when I have no desire to do so…
Just the idea of it depresses me….the thought of not sitting on my porch at 2am smoking…. One of my favorite things to do is to sneak off to this hill overlooking the lake and sit on my truck bed and smoke a cigarrette…. etc. etc. I really enjoy it, I don’t care about the health risks. But I just think I should quit….that I’ll be glad someday I did…maybe… I dunno.
Just some support, advice, help, something, thanks….. Oh and by the way I know I’m sounding whiny but this has been really bothering me.
