Come and join me please. I don't want to quit, I just want to cut down (dramatically) , so please don't come and tell me "well just quit" - thank you

I smoke roll-ups now, and as I roll them as I want one my smoking has got totally ott. Unlike a packet - where you can see how many you've got/had I only have the evidence in the ash tray at the end of the day - and it's not good (I think I must be smoking close to 40 some days if not more )

Last night I sat down before I went to bed and pre-rolled 20 and put them in my cigarette tin. I've figured that 1 per hour during the day (if the DS's will let me escape long enough) and then I@ve got a few extra for after they've gone to bed).

It's been tough going so far, the amount of times I've reached over to roll one........then realised I have them ready rolled and that actually it hadn't been long since my last one is quite shocking. However the one per hour is working so far (I'm currently trying to kill time to leave my one for this hour 11-12 as late as possible).

So - do any other smokers (who don't want to quit -but just cut down like to join me?

im sure we will all do better as the time goes by,and the important thing is that mostly each day we have cut down by a little.

Hey, is anyone about?? Can't believe that two weeks ago I was a non-smoker, now I'm back up to about 7 a day i can already feel my cough coming back. But there is something so good about having a rollie. And it's 'me' time - time when I'm not burping, feeding, changing, rocking etc.
