The lengths you go.....to get your fix

[Doreensfree]

I can remember...going through every coat pocket..purses...till I found a little stump...

O.M.G.....it has probably been there months ....if not longer....

It tasted discussing....

What lengths did you go...?

Oh gosh. I just had flashbacks from those times. Digging through ashtray to straighten out a butt and light it. Grosssss.

 

When I was at casino I ran out of smokes and paid 12 bucks a pack. (That's when it was normally 7 dollars a pack)

But honestly I would have paid 20. I would probably have paid even more. Damn addiction

How about getting to work 20 min.before you start and find out you only have 2 smokes left

 

and the closest place to buy them is about 10 min. away!  :o

Going crazy mode. When everything around you does not exist anymore, just you and that cigarette.

On one memorable occasion I can recall that my husband (at the time ;)) took the last pack of cigarettes when he left for work.  I called him in such a huff ,because I was going to have to get ready for work without my fix, that he left work to bring me a pack.  If that is not pathetic I don't know what is. I guess it wasn't just his fault the marriage didn't work out.....hahaha

Oh the worse has to be picking butt ends off the road and smoking them, omg just nasty!!!

[Doreensfree]

What about !!! Borrowing !!! The kids piggy bank money....oh the shame....

Saw a guy stood outside the hotel in the howling wind and rain, coat over his head trying to light up, at first I thought it was hilarious but afterwards felt bad for him :(

Last year I was out for a bike ride in the winter rain, which is more fun than it sounds, when I rode past the hospital, and noticed a person slumped over in a scooter, not moving. I rolled up thinking maybe she was dead, or at least unconscious, and asked if she was ok. She was awake, but so weak that she couldn't really lift her head off her chest, much less do what she really wanted to do, which was light her cigarette. So I fished her lighter out of her pocket and lit the damp cigarette that she had dangling from her lips.

 

I can't really describe how I felt as I pedalled away.

Not being able to register the car when it was due, and having to wait till "next P day".... or buy healthy food in abundance! Fruit, veg, fish etc... skimping on EVERYTHING but never always 'finding' the money for cigis...
