Nicotine inhalers = not quitting. I haven't had any nicotine in my body for a week, why would I re-introduce it now?
QUOTE(Man18 @ Jun 30 2009, 09:25 AM) you have more of a reason to quit, you have kids, I quit for me you are basically quitting for them.
No I wasn't smoking for them, so I'm not quitting for them. The whole "you got more reason cuz you got kids" it's a big cop out. My alcoholic friends gives me that one all the time. He'd quit drinking and spiraling down the shithole if he had kids. Riiiiiiiight.
I'm quitting for me. Yes the kids will benefit somewhat, but not enough to solely justify my quitting. Kids aren't some magical power that gives you strength beyond your normal abilities. If anything, the trials of having kids would make you wanna smoke a lot more.
So yeah, lets drop the fake cigarette nicotine injectors and magical kid-assist bullshit.
I quit smoking the cigarettes because I don't want heart disease and emphysema.
All the niceties you fill yourself up with at first are just self-hypnosis, the kids, the new car, sex with 19 year old girls... all hypnosis, all lies. The nicotine is more powerful than any one of em, so you clump em together. Quitting nicotine is hard. Real hard. "That grizzly bear just stole my goddamned cigarettes, I'm gonna rip him a new asshole cuz that was my last pack" hard.
I want power over my own life, I want the monkey off my back, I wanna drive the bus. Fuck cigarettes.
On a lighter note.. it's been a whole week.. yay me!
Sorry if I sound a bit grumpy.
