Then we split a year ago and I started going out more, so the bad habit resurfaced. Luckily you can't smoke inside any place in Seattle, and not many people I know smoke so that's good. I got in the habit of smoking each time I went out, then it turned into a one a day habit, regardless of whether I went out or not. I smoked a lot during my 2-week vacation in Houston for Christmas, and decided I had better quit entirely for new year's. I at least went a few days without, but decided maybe it's ok to have just one on nights I drink. It's really not, but at least I've stopped having them on nights that I don't go out. Sorry for the long story, I'm sure you didn't need to know that much.
