Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough

So recently I've been considering quitting the cigarettes, nasty habit and all that. I first started smoking when I was 16 and I always knew that I didn't want to smoke for the rest of my life. However now as I've grown up finding the cut off point is more difficult. For example when I was younger I always seen the end of my time at University as a good point to kick the habit.

I did infact try to quit shortly after leaving university and it worked rather well. I successfully stopped for a month or so. However a lot of my friends smoked so then it became difficult for me not to have a smoke on social occasions. So I took up smoking again as a social smoker, foolishly convincing myself that's where it would end. But it wasn't long until I was back to smoking regularly again. I wouldn't say I'm a terrible smoker, I smoke around 10-15 a day which is far less than many others, but I suppose that's not really the point.

I didn't start smoking due to any peer pressure, quite the opposite. I went through a long period where lots of people were trying to get me to smoke but I didn't do it because I didn't want to. Then the peer pressure stopped and somewhere down the line I started smoking because I decided I wanted to. Again when I quit I did it because I wanted to, because I wasn't enjoying smoking anymore. When I started smoking again it wasn't due to a lack of will power, I was finding it fairly easy, It was simply because I realised I enjoyed smoking again.

Well the trend has come full circle and Im considering quitting again, due to lack of enjoyment, maybe this will be the last time? Wish me luck!
