I Tried to Quit Smoking, well, at least, cut down Options

I stay in shape by going to the gym religiously, running in this arid weather, and playing basketball, but I smoke a pack and a half a day. A couple weeks ago, I decided to cut back on smoking to just under a pack a day. I didn't feel any better. In fact, I felt worse. For the first time, I started developing a smoker's cough. It freaked me out so I tried to quit cold turkey. Shortly after, I caught the flu and I was miserable.

Now I'm back to smoking a pack a day and I feel great. What the hell is going on?

^ well, i don't really think not smoking for pregnancy counts as quitting. because you know that at some point, you'll be able to smoke again.

for me, "quitting" something for lent (no, i'm not religious) was always easy, but i'm starting to realize that the reason it's so easy is because you know the period of abstinence will come to an end.

i was able to give up meat for lent and i actually became a vegetarian for a year, thinking it was pretty easy.

the thing is, actually quitting something means that you'll never be able to do it again. ever.

idk, i think that's a little different.
