Countdown: 8

everyone has been asking me...what's the countdown for? previously i had a countdown for soccer season but since its over why am i still counting down?

well...it might be a big shock to some but i am attempting to cut down on the nicotine....and hopefully quit smoking someday. in an effort to support my dads quest's to quit smoking i have taken on this challenge.

but why a countdown? well...i recently bought 2 cartons of dunhill reds and i'm not about to waste it. i have 8 packs left at this moment and after the 8 packs are gone i will begin the challenge.

why not just start now? well...i guess i could but i'm kinda preparing myself mentally. smokers will tell you that it's impossible....non-smokers will tell you its will power. i will say that it is a desire. if i desire to stop smoking...i probably will. right now...its not a desire which explains my lack of urgency in the matter. i just don't want to be smoking in front of a man who went cold turkey after smoking 60 sticks a day for the past 40 years.
