Ok fine, I get it...smoking is bad for you.
We are told that fine bit of information from early on in our school career by teachers that I am pretty sure smoked in the confines of the one place children did not dare tread...the Teachers Lounge. I was also told that by my parents...these pearls of wisdom were dropped by a woman that had 5 cigarettes burning in different rooms at all times and a man, who on road trips, never cracked the window in the car and had a nicotine stain on the windshield.
I am not quite certain why I started, maybe out of rebellion, I dont know but I did take up the habit. It is a little shocking to think how many years I have dedicated to this addiction. It has been with me thru 2 husbands, 6 presidential terms and countless different sizes of jeans. It was there for me when I was sad, happy, bored. Always there with its best friend cocktail and trusty sidekick to coffee. It was a great top off for a fine meal or even a sandwich. As cliche as it sounds, it rocked after really good sex or even mediocre nookie.
Alas my friend I must say goodbye. I will think of you fondly while I am saving money, breathing on my own when I play with grandchildren...psst that better be many years from now and not smelling like an ashtray.
I started with Chantix today. Bring on the crazy ass dreams.
If I did you can, too. One thing I discovered when I finally gave it up was that my hangovers weren't nearly as bad. That was a happy day. Good luck and I'll follow your journey!
