I think it's time

Well, I have some news. Monday, June 27th was my first day of non-smoking. I still have three cigarettes left in my last pack, and I'm not going to smoke them. Everything I have read about quitting has told me to get rid of leftover cigarettes... "get rid of your stash." I don't believe in that. I didn't get rid of my cigarettes, I got rid of

Well thank you very much for your confidence in my quitting. And I don't want to come off as a holier than thou being about quitting smoking, but if you want to quit I think that's great. But I'm no hypocrite, I've tried before to quit, but I think I was never in a place in my life where I actually said I want to quit for me. I thought writing the letter was a stupid thing, but re-reading it now, it takes away any temptations of smoking. Until I started writing it I didn't even realize how much I actually hated the fact that I smoked. I mean you and I had some great times talking outside the dorms late at night smoking cigarette after cigarette, and I wouldn't change that for the world, but I guess part of me has changed within these last eight months in which I don't want to be dependent on anything (I would like to say or anyone, but I know I'm dependent on my sister right now, but I'm working on becoming self-dependent
