Quitting Smoking

I was in 7th grade. Mundy Zullo. Linda. Me. In the field across from their house. Cough, hack. Life-altering. Made me cool. Changed my world. Changed the world's view of me.

What an unbelievable gripping addiction tobacco is. A friend says to me, she can't believe the husband is still smoking -- his wife just died of lung cancer from smoking. I told her, it's not like that. It's not a choice.

It's like a noose with superglue.

I've been sick. Going to take advantage of the illness & the couch time & do the 'cut-down then quit' thing. Hmmm. So many reasons why I should.

Wish me luck.
