I'll stop later
I would like to quit smoking however not sure I can right now. Usually when it comes to my bad habits I'm very realistic. I know when my environment is too toxic and I need the crutch. And so I quit drinking alcohol 3 months ago. I would've tried to quit smoking at the same time as I've done before but I know this time it wasn't realistic. I smoke mini cigars. The black and mild types. 2-3 a day usually. Sometimes one on the drive to and from work and one at home after work. Especially in the most overwhelming moments during the day is when I get cravings. The last one, sometimes two, in the night are to decompress/when insomnia kicks in. (Often). I'm working up to try and knock this habit however I've vowed to not drink again. I've had a very problematic history with alcohol. Back in 2021-2022 I did 10 months sober of both and was in the best shape of my life and made a ton of money. I experienced a lot of grief and loss since then. It's going to be hard to not have anything to turn to when I get an overwhelming feeling. I guess this is a rant. But I'll be quitting smoking too. I guess I'm mentally preparing to do it for the new year. Also, my health is going to force me to quit sooner than later. Alcohol had adverse affect there too.

There's never a better time to quit than now.
