After stopped smoking for 4 months now, I looked back the past few months on my account balance, I have averagely saving myself some 400 bucks a month. Isn't it crazy how much money people burn when they smoke cigarettes? I knew I was burning money, but I just can't help it but to keep burning.
People are not crazy. We're all grownups, we will have to be responsible not only upon others, but to ourselves. I know many would challenge who am I to talk shit about smoker? Let's not talk about health, not talk about money, in the end we can change the question to why smoke? I bet many will still give you different kind of funny answer.
How do I know that! Because I was at the very same situation. As I grow older, I gets different kind of questions from friends who think I'm not cool to still smoke in front of their kids. As we smoker getting older, our time bomb stated ticking faster as our life blows by our mind, just like smoke evaporating from thin air.
As my little kids grow older, they will start to ask where am I after dinner, and the mother will tell them I went and do the rubbish. It's true, k did took the can out with my cigarettes, and do my trash and smoke there before going back to the house. As soon as I get back to the house, kids will shy away and say daddy smells like barbecue.
Sometimes I think, is it because there's a law saying below legal age, kids are not allowed to smoke, and then some of us think smoking is illegal? My answer to that is, because they do not enjoy the taste. Was it because of the freedom to smoke exist, and therefore we make enough excuse to continue smoking and giving ourselves each day a new opportunity to harm ourselves and others by blowing toxic smoke?
I stopped that smoke due to the lock down. I couldn't find any cigarettes anywhere for a few days as they've ran out of supply. After that, I'd try to buy, but I didn't. I believe my inner self finally came to a conclusion of getting out of this. I need to write this down, let other people knows about my commitment and do it. Its a war! A war I declared to my old self. I may not win this war until the day I die. I won't know when will I find enough excuse for myself and going back for he old bad habits again, but here I am writing it down. If you see me smoke, please call me, take my cigarettes aways, take off my glasses and punch me in my nose.
Congratulations. When I was a kid no one really thought about smoking. I had my growth spurt early so I bought cigarettes for my friends in middle school. No one asked for an ID. Smoking was just what people did. If there is a five minute break between classes it was the smokers in college who learned to enjoy it but the health tolls are nasty.
At a young age I watched an uncle die of emphysema. Today's kids are indoctronized into no smoking. When they see someone smoking they are the bad guy from the propaganda they saw at school. Kids walk the other way of the smoker.
Well that's what happened... And you David will not return to lick up your own vomit. Your heart will keep tickin for ages to come.
If you need a good high breath the fumes they call "fresh air" outside.
With love
Your friend
Thank you for the thorough and highly motivated reply. Its still very tempting to me, the feeling of crash into a convenient shop, buy a packet and get those smoke in 😵
Very beautyfull a picture.
Thank you.
Thanks to
I truly hope you mean that and not just posting and fishing for sympathy like the asshole. I would kick your ass! With all the illnesses going on in the world, why ruin your health knowingly and pay for it too?
What a pleasant surprise! Somehow your words will give me a different kind of boost of moral! I used to hide my cigarettes beneath my shirt collar and you're exactly like the headmistress "executing" one after another naughty boy before my eyes.
Once again, I'm not trying to make anymore excuse. Its only been four months, and I didn't even use the big word of QUIT smoking. Do punch me in my face when you see me smoke again.
👀 I'm watching you, you know! 😁 You have no other choice than to quit!
You mean quit the stop smoking thing? 😛
