I'll Try Hypnosis

This quit smoking business. We addicts keep pushing it further and further away. I'll quit when I graduate. I'll quit when I find a job. I'll quit when I find another job. I'll quit when I get married. I'll quit when my free time is taken up by my startup business. I'll quit when my wife gets pregnant. I'll quit when I have my first child...

Does this go on forever? My lungs have suffered. And now that I'm married, my wife's lungs suffer. We fight when I smoke in the room. And my kid sisters who so earnestly campaigned to have me quit have given up on me.

Free time is hard to kill when there are no cigarettes. Maybe I will quit when I move to a more developed country where there are more restrictions on smoking in public areas, and cigarettes cost an arm and a leg? Definitely shouldn't wait for my first child to be born before I quit.

I just need to figure out some way I can trick my mind into thinking cigarettes don't exist.

I'll try hynosis, if it helps me quit!
