Oh Gawd someone please shoot me |

I haven't said it in a long, long time. "I'll never drink again" has not come out of my mouth since way back in college. Not that I haven't earned myself some winner hangovers, I've just learned to shut up and take my lumps. Today I am not thinking about giving up my favorite poison, but I am thinking about laying down the lighter and not smoking anymore. I have quit smoking several times over the years, with great success at least twice, but the problem is I really don't want to not smoke. Today, even thinking about having a smokey treat makes me run to the hurling throne just in case anything comes out when I dry heave. I smoked too much last night. I have a cigarette hangover. I was warned by Sandusky that I either need to quit or come clean to Roxarita - all that ridiculous sneaking around on Thanksgiving was almost Keystone Cops. The kiddos are gonna figure out in a few years that I can be blackmailed to keep my mother in the closet if I don't do something about it. It's expensive, too. A carton of American Spirits goes for $50, and we go thru probably 2-3 cartons a month. That's some great shoes and handbags that I could be sporting, rather than a cloud of stinky smoke, a lung cookie-laced hack, and tiny lines around my mouth from all that butt sucking. Adam quit cold turkey. He said he was an asshole for about 4 days and then he was done with it. I don't even smoke as much as he did. I can do this. I'll have the Kiddo for 2 weeks straight over Xmas before he jets off to NYC to see his Dad, so that will be a good time to not party quite so much and maybe forego the smokey treats. Please help me in this endeavor!

You can do it. I didn't have any while I was in Dallas and I was fine. When TBI is gone I'm a virtual non smoker except on the occasional night out. When he's here, it's another story altogether. It, for me, depends on my environment. Which does not say much for my personal fortitude.
I'll quit with you if you'll allow me to cheat now and then on the FSB porch.

Good luck. Having the kid around for that long of a time period will definitely help!

Okay -- I'm with you too. I have actually felt polluted lately. And yet, it's so hard. I too woke up this morning with the following lyrics running in my head: "and I'm never never never gonna drink again 'cause I've seen my life and it's a trail of tears..."
Of course, I WILL drink again. Probably even tonight. And I will most likely act very badly again -- probably not tonight. However, I really really really really do want to quit smoking.
So, me four!

I told GB this afternoon that you were quitting. She asked when you were going to start this quitting adventure as she was heading out the back door of the office, ciggy in hand, dragging me along for the company. When I told her you started this morning, she looked lovingly at the cig, lit it, and then said, "Hmmm...well, maybe I'll join her starting tomorrow!"
