No more

Today I'm starting on high blood pressure medication. I didn't realize it was so serious. Hopefully it's soon enough to avoid the multitude of horrible things that can happen as a result.

I honestly never smoked a lot in the first place... a few a day... but I noticed it was like I kept buying that same pack over and over again. Why let it be the straw that breaks the camel's (no pun intended) back?

Mind you, I could have also done a "dump hot dogs and other salty foods down the grill" video, but it wouldn't have had the same effect. Not that watching half of the cigs land neatly on the top of the grill and clumsily batting at each one individually was the exact effect I was going for...

I'd love to see you make a similar video and post it as a reply. Maybe we can get a chain (again, no pun intended) going. It might be more effective than just saying, "this is the last pack"... or worse, letting the cigarettes decide that for you.

I think the imagery is very powerful! I cant tell you how many times I have crushed, flushed, or mashed up my last pack of cigarettes, only to fall to the imperious urge once again. Im a free woman living in a free country and yet a slave to that little stick filled with carcinogens and pesticides. Self imposed slavery ya'll, the worst kind! But I am happy to report that today is day 12 of emancipation! Yes! So lets keep supporting each other! Id love to see some more videos from you guys...dtw

I could do a video of me dumping a bunch of empty Starbucks beverage cups into a dumpster.

Seriously, hope the medication works out for you.
