I will not smoke again.... Or at least I hope not... Argh! Why did I decide to do this in school... Ok so tomorrow a new day, I will try my best and if there is a god out there, please, have mercy and aid me and give me courage and strength not to do it again... I don't want this.. heh... Almost in freaking tears like this is the end of the world.... I just want to be healthy.... I need you people to be on my ass! Check up and question me... Please? I am tryign to make everyone around me aware of it... Because as sad as it sounds I feel I cannot trust myself.... I need to be questioned and checked up on..... I am trying to ignore the signs but sometimes I don't see them or can't catch them.... Yeah I know I said it was easy... And I really believed it is... Please don't see me as a hypocrite But I just cannot trust myself and now are making those around me aware so if they even think I am gonna go for it they can say... Hey no, knock that crap off.... Discourage to encourage.

Hey Alex, unless somebody has been there, they don't have the right to make the call "hypocrite" on this one. Since I am here, I will tell you that you are not a hypocrite.

It's tough. It's an addiction to a very potent chemical. Keep trying! I must have tried half a dozen times over the years. Even now I'm not going to get myself into the mindset of thinking I've whooped it...I've got to keep a handle on it everyday, just like a recovering alky.

I am a former smoker, and I am still susceptible. I've got to keep up the courage and the will to overcome.

You can do it too...but you've got to want it for yourself.

The rest of us can hound you forever, and if you want to keep smoking you'll just brush us off. It's good to make yourself accountable to friends by telling them, but when the day is done you're the one who has to want it for yourself.

thanks, Juantoo3, i need the voice of reason, thanks. LOL

I hear what you're saying and right now... I am so stressed out all I can think about is smoking.. and having people to discurage wouldn't do a thing... However my fail safe.... I work in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing to be smoked... So I will have to just deal with it, and most likley turn into an aggressive state of mind with customers lol....

"I've got a problem"

"Yeah? Who $"%"%"£ doesn't?!?!..." lol... Cigarettes suck.

I know there is a chemical addiction, but have you tried chewing gum or putting a toothpick in your mouth to address the habitual association with smoking and feeling stressed?

[Alex P]

Not feeling to bad now... Only strangled/throttled three customers... So I am a border line serial killer...

lol... I joke guy, I make joke! Yeah tried gum... Taste disgusting. So that is not an option :P

Toothpick could be interesting... Get a cowboy hat and do some squinty eyed rough looks, be da man... I have seen in my local Tesco "fake cigarettes" It's like a bit of plastic which you pretend is a cigarette lol.... People cannot seriously use these? You must feel such an ass doing that.

Yeah you've got to get a cowboy hat if you put a toothpick in your mouth, and some really big boots that have spurs in the back.

All I need now is a black leather cowboy hat with a silver bull skull and tussels on front! that and me trenchcoat.. I'll be an "industrial cowboy" *goes and gets toothpicks*

--edit--

lol.... Can see it now...

"What's your story????!?!"

*calmly removes toothpick from his rough unshaven killer looking face and continues to squint his eyes in a cold firm stare at the man, he tips his hat up slightly*

"Trying to quit smoking...."

"oooh yeah been down that road!"

alex, my friend.

those are some effin' awesome boots. dang! kinda remind me of the ones that dennis has in that spongebob squarepants movie.

Alex,

you could be a superhero. Urban Non-Smoking Cowboy. Instead of battling some great external nemesis you battle addiction to cigarettes.

Those are some cool boots, but you need pointy toes. Real cowboy boots have pointy toes.

So you can mash cockroaches in the corners.

[Alex P]

They are blunt because they are good for icing jaws ;/ However kicking heads is a thing of my past now lol..... Although this boot is quite the weapon...

Aren't pointy boots for bounty hunters and wicked witches of the west?.. Oh, and the Irish?

Hey, it beats a gunfight in the middle of the street at high noon...just so you can sniff the gunsmoke...

One died of lung cancer, the other died of lead poisoning...

Seems they meet the same fate huh? :P

Good point (pun intended, ). Just don't tell John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.

Hey, when you make your movie, you gotta get an Italian director. That way it would be a spaghetti west ender...
