If you smoke, you smoke. If you are kidding yourself about when, where and how much it will not serve you in any situation. I did not smoke much as a teenager but it led to 40 years pack a day habit. But it was only social, who you kidding! No one.

This sketch is admittedly stupid, but it makes me laugh every time. I also like the one about Brian's hat.

You'll have that fresh as a breeze new non-smoker smell going for you as well. I was in a machine shop this morning where a few of the guys still smoke. It amazes me that I went nose-blind to the smell of smoke for so long.

What have you got to lose ....Nothing .....and can gain So Much..... There is a seat here ..with your name on it ....why not come and sit a while 🐸

Recently joined a dating site. Looking at profiles I see very, very few admitted daily smokers. However I do see “social smoker” quite often. So what does it mean to be a social smoker theses days when smoking has been banned from pretty much all restaurants, clubs, bars, malls, and so on (at least in the US). Even outdoor venues don’t allow it. The only places I can think of are private parties at someone’s home. Also, is there such a person that only smokes in a social gathering? I highly doubt it, they are trying to justify it. Thoughts?

@Wayne045the probability that they only smoke in certain situations is very low. not saying such an animal doesn't exist but more than likely they are trying to say they smoke without admitting they smoke.

Wife says; "You always push my buttons!" My response; "If that was true, I would have found the mute by now!"

This subject was brought up on qsmb years ago and someone there posted this video: Ps. I moved your topic from questions for admin and mods to the main board

Jackson took to the water like it was old hat to him. He looked around a bit and moved his arms and legs around in the pool. Then, Sugar Britches rocked him back-and-forth in the water, he fell asleep. I'm not exaggerating when I talk about how laid back the little dude is. Maddie on the other hand, was constantly in motion. Jumping in from the side. Doggy paddling short distances. She even climbed up on the diving board; it was a bit higher than she expected so she backed down. Relative to her size, that's a big jump. Good times.

Mister Jackson had a good birthday. He slept. He ate. He smiled. He took a little downtime to lay on his back and grab his feet...he does that a lot now. The little fella is fully committed to the easy peasy lifestyle. We are going to get in a little pool time at a neighbor's house tomorrow. We're going to take Jackson in the pool for the first time. Maddie loves the water now but was not pleased at all the first time I took her into a swimming pool. So, we'll see how it works out. Big week for birthdays here at Boo Acres. Jackson hit the two-month mark today and Maddie hits the two-year mark on Wednesday.

Anyone who's a smoker knows ' an addict is an addict' and there's No Way you can be a nicotine addict and then just choose when to smoke and when not to. Nicotine addiction is a seriously strong addiction and once you're hooked - you're hooked. It takes a concentrated effort over a long period of time to reach complete freedom from the clutches of nicotine addiction. And make NO mistake, just because we quit does not mean we are no longer addicts. We can all secure our freedom but we must always remain on guard and never take our achievement for granted! I also laugh to myself when I heard someone say; "I'm a secret smoker. I sneak outside to have a smoke so no one will know." LOL; who you kidding? Non-smokers can always smell stale smoke on someone who's just had one! All the perfume, mouthwash and brushing of teeth can't hide that aroma. It's on your clothes and in your hair! The lies we tell ourselves as practicing nicotine addicts 😏

beacon Posted June 11, 2014 Saw this some where else, not sure if it has bern posted here or who wrote it... Ten Steps to Relapse 1. "Try" to quit. 2. Idealize life without smoking. 3. Associate your daily problems and disappointments with the fact that you're not smoking. 4. Begin to buy into the idea that you are more miserable now than before you quit. 5. Start responding to your problems with, "If this keeps up, I am going to smoke" then add "anyhow" then add "so why suffer anymore?". (Alternate 3-5) 3. Associate your success with the idea that you have licked the nicotine habit. 4. Begin to buy into the idea that you could smoke without getting hooked again. 5. Follow-up this idea with, "I have not smoked in ___ days/weeks/months/years" then add "I have not had any cravings" then add "I could have just one"). 6. Buy, borrow or steal a cigarette. 7. Find a quiet, secluded place where you can be alone with the substance to which you have attributed all power and promise for fulfillment of your needs. 8. Feel yourself calming down even before you light up, which is actually the Nicodemon ceasing to scratch at your insides as you prepare to feed the addiction. 9. Light-up and suck in all the poison you can get in that first drag, while beginning the battle against being disappointed in yourself, noticing that this fight is not half as ferocious as it was to get the nicotine. 10. Within a few hits, feel dizzy, cough a little, smell the stink, and realize you are not going to stop smoking that cigarette, you will keep smoking despite the bad feelings, and wish you had not given in.
