Its been a while since I have posted to my blog and I thought it was about time. Since my last post, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. With the help of my new CPAP machine, I am sleeping better and feeling better.
However, I have been thinking a lot about my nasty habit of smoking, how it is probably not helping my sleep disorder, and I think its time for me to terminate it for good. I want to feel even better than better. Today, I have downgraded to Ultra Light cigarettes and by the end of the week I plan to stop all together. Its depressing to think about how good I could feel without cigarettes but still be so addicted that it seems impossible to quit. I hate being dependent on them and I hate the fact that the tobacco companies have me trained well to go and shell out over 5 dollars every day for a new pack of cancer sticks. Enough is enough.
Anyway that’s the end of my rant. I needed to write this to share my frustration and I hope my words can inspire other smokers to quit for good. Smokers everywhere please join me in quitting this nasty habit.
So this is now the part where invite whoever took the time to read this to leave me comments. Do you have thoughts about smoking or any words of wisdom?
