Smokers don't understand that... sadly :( With them, it's "tomorrow I'll quit" or "when this pack finishes, I wont buy any" etc..etc.. I 'see-sawed' between the two!! quitting for days/weeks/ then ???? (that ONE dreaded puff/smoke/cigi for ??? don't know!!? but it doesn't MATTER!! All I have to think is N.O.P.E! Spoke with my 'bestie' yesterday who has been ROOLY sick.. chest etc. said "let's face it, my chest is stuffed" and I blew her up!!! Told her what an idiot to ASSUME that her lungs are stuffed!!! NO ONE has ever told her that!!! Last week, when she first go a virus, and was in bed for 3 days, and didn't smoke (or drink port) she says... "didn't make any difference.. I coughed anyway"!!!!! It's SO difficult, just listening and not commenting... other than 'mmmmm... oh dear.... and so on'.. I DID say that her negativity is affecting our relationship....and it is!! I mean , how STOOPID to live life in LIMBO like that???!!!??? ASSUMING her chest is stuffed.. so 'what's the point'??? Her father, brother, sister and mother ALL died from Cancer... or Emphysema (father) and all by or before 62! She's 64, (June) and the way she's going, she wont make 65!!!! Anyway, sorry, Doreen xox didn't mean to stuff up your thread.. vent over.... :unsure:

yeah.. run free... I thought I was becoming "dozy" but it appears "calmer" may be a better description!!! I KNOW I sleep better!! Strange, because I was truly under the ILLUSION that 'my health wasn't suffering'... it was only finances and lying that needed addressing... ??? Yet, if I analyse a bit deeper, I DO feel physically better!!! :rolleyes: :lol: yep!! it sure is a NASTY addiction, isn't it? wealthy or poor... lying or open.... no matter what, it's awful!!!

Awww you're all SO wubly!! lol!!! you know what I mean though, eh? It's SO nice to 'celebrate' every now and then..... MOST of the time, I hardly think about it, but when I do, I DO!! that's when my 'puffer' is amazing!!! that RELIEF I get, from inhaling the juice.. (NO NIC) is ample.. even 2 or 3 times, and that's it!!!! Anyway, that's another topic.. I do tend to "butterfly"... xox Oh yes!! TEW... know what you mean about "bills".. the GOOD bills and the BAD bills... the good stay around and the bad are PAID easily!!

Here, here!!! to ALL the above, Kendra!!! xox

ZERO

N.O.P.E!!!!!!!!!!!!! HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!! XOX XOX Spring has sprung!!! THANK GOD!!!

Isn't it strange how overweight smokers believe cigis stop them eating!???

SS, I've always loved the smell of pipe tobacco... don't care for cigi smoke though.. eeeek!!! When I come out of a shopping centre, I feel the need to pinch my nose, sometimes.. other times, I feel like a puff!!! LOL!! 13 weeks yesterday, for me! (only know cos it's on my financial diary lol)

The US sell the cheapest cigis anywhere! (other than some Arab countries) No wonder they have trouble quitting!!! Overheard the other day, my brand, Alpine Supreme (nearly forgot then!!!!!) is not $28 per 25... that's MORE than a $1 a smoke!! JEEPERS!!! So those monitors at the end of posts probably need updating... I'm keeping an eye on mine, (we have a yearly rise here in Oz till...?) which will add to my pleasure!!!!! What used to cost me $175 per fortnight, would now cost $196!!!! and that's if my friend and I didn't have a 'bash'!!! Or I was 'upset' with something or someone... or felt "lonely".. or all the other excuses I used, to justify the ridiculousness of burning money, and being totally broke all the time... I'm still broke, but have CHOSEN to spend my money on items that LAST!!!! The 1st time I quit, they were $11 and was costing $154 per fortnight but I was working then..., but I was smoking 2 packs a day almost... IN the car, IN the apartment, IN the shower!! (yes, IN THE SHOWER) the only place I never smoked was bed.... I must have smelled AWFULLY disgusting!!!! My kids used to TELL me but I'd ignore it.... That's how I KNOW I didn't smell as they'd always comment on my perfume, if I'd just showered... other wise, never! So my quit this time, (the LAST time) has been totally 'alone'... no one to 'boast' to... other than my neighbour downstairs.... but I can't even boast to my friend.. as she's still a smoker and HATES hearing about it!!! haven't seen her since I quit! Wish I hadn't told her now... but anyway.....C'est la vie!
