Giving Up Smoking, Giving Up Trying, Giving Up Hoping

I must apologize to you, my loyal reader, for I have been misleading you. I have posted here that I will try to stop smoking in five days. I've even gone so far with my deception as to mention that maybe I will succeed.

That's a bunch of crap. What I'm actually going to do on Sunday is just stop smoking. I'm also going to stop trying to quit and hoping I quit. Surely these three activities will drive me to an early grave should I continue them.

No more attempting for me, I'm calling it quits.
