Once, last December? There was a coat I really wanted. But I knew if I bought it, I’d be eating ramen and borrowing $20 bucks off Biscuit for cigarette money.
So, in a move that stunned the peanut gallery and made most American financial institutions sit upright and take serious stock of their marketing techniques, I didn’t buy the coat. AND GODDAMNIT WAS I PISSED.
That remains, until twelve days ago, the only time in the history of ever that I have denied myself something.
Twelve days ago, I started denying myself cigarettes. THIS IS THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE, and it makes me really wish I’d bought that coat, just to balance out the universe.
Because, look, hedonists like me shouldn’t make willpower a habit, okay?
Sweet holy jesus fuck. Is all I have to say. At this particular moment in time.
Also, you should really take this thing off of England time. Seriously.
p.s. Sweet holy jesus fuck. Waa huu huu.
Aside from the health benefits, just think of all the cash you’ll free up for shopping by not smoking! You’ll be able to buy yourself a coat that’s even more luxurious.
Hang in there, kiddo. Giving up smoking is hard and it sucks, but your body will thank you if you stick with it.
Oh, and don’t deny yourself coffee or caffeine while you’re giving up the smokes. It will help you keep your sanity.
