are there any other smokers on the list (i'm not
talking pot)?
we are not dopes. we are addicted and mostly hate the
addiction except when we love it. i cannot explain
the sense of satisfaction that comes from a cigarette
after a meal.
may i be melodramatic for a moment. of course:
there was a time two years ago (and if you pick up on
subtle hints and read my posts you'll be able to guess
when that time was) that i HAD to quit smoking. it
took me 4 months to drop it totally. i felt like i
had lost a friend. seriously. they're there when i'm
stressed, they're there when i'm happy, nervous,
tired, hungry. they sit with me over a hot cup of
coffee on a daily basis. i don't have a friend who
does that(though a couple come close) and probably
won't until i'm married.
there are a couple of very convincing arguments for
bitch-slapping me for starting to smoke again. what
can i say i spent almost three weeks living in a
neo-natal intensive care unit with nothing to do but
hope and found myself one afternoon on a bitter
january sidewalk with a hot cup of coffee and
cigarette. and i felt better. for 5 minutes. but
that was all i needed to keep myself from sobbing on
the floor of the icu and keep me off of
anti-depressants.
sorry i'm a little defensive on this topic.
