Ten months, almost, and I still romance the damned things in my mind. Sure, when I am around them I hate the smell any more, but when I can't smell how bad they are I romance them in my head.
I recently stopped working at the Brothels and am going into RV sales here next month until May when I plan to permanently retire on my pension/social security. Can't wait:)
This post is just a reminder to those who might think that a long term quit gets it completely out of your head. Well for some, maybe it does but for me it is still there, a pathetic romance for a pathetic habit.
Talking about it here is important, because as I type I realize how vulnerable I still am. I don't dream about smoking any more, that passed after about three months, but when I see someone smoking in a movie, relaxing, looking cool, my mind does wander. No I seriously doubt I will restart, not even a little doubt, I just hate to think that those damned things are such an addiction that even a strong mind has trouble getting them off your mind.
Recently, I was talking to an employer who still has a zero tolerance for pot, in spite of the fact that pot is now legal in Nevada. Our discussion went to the FEDs who still consider Marijuana a class A substance along with Heroin. The classification is "addicting" and "of no use medically", CLASS A. OK, well we all know that Marijuana has some medical applications, perhaps even many, so it is clear that the FEDs will have to declassify pot some day because it no longer meets Class A criteria.
Cigarettes however DO MEET CLASS A criteria "addicting" and "of no use medically", hence Nicotine should be a CLASS A drug right along with heroin, right?
