Whoever thought that my world would come crashing down around me so suddenly? More on this later.

Do classy girls actually still smoke?

I was riding the Metra yesterday afternoon/evening. While waiting patiently for the train and taking some pictures I noticed 2 teenagers walking towards the stop. The girl was very typical "hipster" looking. Bright pink obnoxious tank top with the shortest shorts possible, bright yellow flats from the mid 90's and a purple hat that would have been more acceptable in the winter. The guy had on a tight black jeans, an all over print tshirt nikes and big floppy hair. I thought the 2 knew eachother. But I don't think they did. They both walked over the tracks to platform 2. Where I was standing. The stood in front of the no-smoking sign and promptly lit up cigarettes in what seemed to be an act of defiance. 

Now I am a smoker, you all know this. However I want to quit every single day. Every time I light a cigarette I can't wait to put it out, but I just can't bring myself to do it yet. Watching those 2 smoke really bothered me. Before heading to the taste I thought to myself, i'm going to leave my cigarettes in the car. I'm not going to buy them in the city, I can't smoke on the train, I hate people that walk around crowded places smoking, like the taste of chicago and other big festivals. 

So what does this all mean? This means that by September 1st I hope to be smoke free. That gives me 2 months. I've cut down a lot lately. I really have. the hardest places for me are work, my car, and bars. I can't smoke in bars anymore but you can still smoke on their patios. I'm going to but nicorette or something for when I am at work on my break. I'm not sure how I am going to handle my car.

I have to remember, a year ago I went to Italy and I did not smoke for 10 days while there. I definitely experienced withdrawl but I was fine. i didn't intend to quit then so I came right home and started smoking again. This time I intend to make it work!
