My last cigarette

I feel great today! Today is a memorable day! The day when I stopped smoking. Some would just say that it doesn't count as I have never really smoked heavily. That's true, however I could never call myself a non-smoker. I was smoking when I was at school, when I was a student and I practically never refused if someone would invite me for a cigarette. I love smoking, smoking is great! It feels relaxing, cool and people who never smoked have no idea what a great pleasure they are missing. The only problem with it that it's addictive, expensive, you smell afterwords not to mention harm for the health. But I thought that eliminating cigarettes from my life completely would be too cruel, and I'd better limit the amount of cigarettes I am smoking rather than getting rid of them which is not gonna work anyway. So I set myself some certain rules that would help me enjoy smoking and not to get too addicted.

The rule was that I should smoke only 10 cigarettes every 3 month. Sounded like a good plan, however didn't quite work out. At the beginning it all went just fine, and for a couple of months I just smoked those packs of ten. At some point I realized that I didn't even feel how the pack has finished and would need to face 3 months waiting time to get another one! Then I decided that probably buying a 20 cigarettes pack would be a better solution as they would last longer and it's only 10 cigarettes more! The pack of 20 however would always finish faster than I wanted and again I would face 3 months of waiting when it's finally time to buy a pack again... So I introduced another cheating rule that I should smoke every 2 months now instead of 3. But that also didn't quite work as my desire to smoke was stronger then the rules. So for the last few days I was smoking whenever I felt like, and I felt like smoking them one after another. I also realized that it was getting nowhere, and if I don't wanna be addicted I should stop once and for all. So here I am, all firm and decided! I am never smoking again! Just to make sure I am definitely giving up I bought a supporting book called "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr, which has some excellent reviews in amazon.
