Okay, one full day of not smoking behind me and workin on the second. Not too bad yet. Mostly just when I think about being in the car it hits. Thankfully I have the best roommate ever. At some point after I went to my restless sleep, she went out side and cleaned all the empty packs of smokes and their litterings and febrezed the shit out of my car. All so I wouldnt have be tortured by the smell or visual of cigarettes. Seriously, that was so sweet of her. She probably wants me to stop smoking more than I do.
Anyways, quitting smoking is never the problem. Its always a few months after I quit I think I can have just a few when Im out drinking. That never works out well. Should be okay now that I rarely ever drink. I was starting to drink every weekend again but Ive corrected that problem. Havent touched a drop since Iowa. Its just another thing thats really bad for my ear.
In other news, Im headed down to Arkansas in the weeeeee hours of Friday morn. Not looking forward to being crammed in a car with my Mom, Dad, Bubba, and Sisterinlaw. But I am excited about seein my Cuz get married. I also get to see my Aunt Max (the one who has cancer) which is good cuz I really need to see her. Im super happy cuz the parents made sure the hotel has a nice pool. Thats prolly where Ill spend most my time. I really wish it was a part of AR that was closer to MO.for certain reasons
Thats all I got for now, Ill spare you the mush that is me and subby todayyoure lucky

thing is, these guys were loud, obnoxious, temperamental, demanding, etc etc (the one dude explained to me once that Somalians had picked up mannerisms from the italians who'd occupied their country back in the day, lol)... and they mostly smoked like chimneys.
not once, not twice but three times these guys thwarted me in my attempts to quit smoking. i'd be cruisin along on a 3 or 4 month streak of no tobacco. these guys would show up for another session... start flipping the fuck out at each other til it got to the point that i'd turn to one of em and demand a cigarette, walk outside, smoke it and that'd be that.
the time i finally *did* succeed at quitting was likely only because the studio had stopped booking sessions with them in favor of other projects that were more important to the owner...
anyway, the short version of my long-winded point is this: removing as many "trigger" factors as possible = win.
in the meantime, i hope you were vaguely entertained by this pointless story from my past
