The wife an I are both smokers, and as of late we have been on a smoking reduction plan. About this time last month we were puffing at the rate of at least a pack and a half each per day. Horrible, I know, but it kind of sneaks up on you after 2.5 decades of behavior. If you are a clock watcher, this works out to a cigarette every 30 to 40 minutes. I’m surprised that neither of us has had a heart attack yet.
So we are reducing our habit to manageable levels, with the ultimate aim of stopping entirely. Stage one involved going on the clock, and only sparking up once an hour, on the hour. It seems to be working. Yesterday we both got caught up in what we were doing, and actually missed the timer, going up to an hour and a half between smokes. So today we are pushing it out a bit, and going for an hour fifteen minutes between.
If we can continue stretching out the time between, we hope to be completely quit of the things by summers end. That’s not too bad, considering that it took us 25 years to become the smokers we are today. We’ll see how it goes…
