Have been stopping and starting in fits for the last month or so. Have a couple left here that I'm telling myself are it. Once I go to bed, done.

Need to quit to get on with weight-loss plan, save money ($7/pack * 7 days/week…), etc.. - but I enjoy going out too much, and that's inevitably to a bar, where I inevitably have a couple of drinks and then a cigarette. And I spend most of my workday alone, driving from jobsite to jobsite, and smoke too much while doing that.

sordid smoking history:
Never smoked up through high school - my parents did 'til I was 16 and I hated cigarettes.
Then I started waiting tables the summer before college, started doing E every couple of weeks (mmm, menthol), ramped up to about a pack a day for 2-3 years. Cut down when I left the restaurant industry, but in art school it was still a reinforced habit - on breaks go outside with the smokers. When I dropped out of school and quit going to bars I stopped completely for five and a half or six years.

Picked it up a couple of years back when I started working security in a bar, quit for five months early this year because my girlfriend asked me to, started again when we broke up.
