100. STRAIGHT EDGE LIVING.. NOT

I have something to tell you guys which I know you won’t believe. I almost can’t believe it myself until I craved for it earlier today when I saw a kid got trampled by a tricycle. Don’t worry, the kid survived and she was still able to stand up. I see that a lot these days, kids getting hit by moving vehicles, I’m just glad it wasn’t me on the driver seat.

I’m sorry, I rambled. Anyway let’s cut to the chase; observed the photo below.

OMG! It’s my last stick of Marlboro lights! Yeah, you read it right. I do declare that as of today, I quit smoking! It’s for my wife and my future kid. After all these years of smoking and making the tobacco industry flourish with my one pack a day consumption of that gorgeous and fragrant cigarette, I’ve finally called quits.

This is actually my first attempt to quit the leaf; I can see Bob Marley up in the skies looking down upon me, his eyes full of grief and sorrow. Although, I know he was lighting a totally different kind of leaf. I’m sorry Mr. Marley. I still think your music is the coolest.

I do believe that as my first attempt, I have to make this the best one ever. As I’m writing this, my chest is getting tighter, my lungs contracting and my hands are shaking. I want to smoke. But you know what? I won’t smoke. Yes, I will not give in. I will stay here in my room and fight this awful withdrawal with my weapons of choice.

Chocolates and sweets! I know, I know. I won’t die from lung cancer, but I will die from an also slow and painful death of diabetes with all these crap. Next week is going to be a hard and pretty long week for me.

The withdrawal stage hasn’t really kicked in yet. I just hope it’s not as bad as I’ve heard from my wife. She’s suffering right now, insomia, diarrhea, crankiness and all sorts of symptoms. It’s all going to happen to me. Stay tuned for my withdrawal post next week! Dun! DUN! DUNN!!
