So…I’m contemplating taking the leap again. Yes, that’s right, I’m going to…
ugh…quit smoking.
Curiously, my decision actually came the day before yesterday, before I found out my friend and neighbor went to the hospital for a triple bypass. And I thought, to help me stay on course this time, I’d make a list of the top ten reason to quit smoking. But that is just so ’90’s. And it would probably be boring for you guys too. AND…I’m probably gonna be a bit cranky for a while and need something besides cat memes to make me laugh. So I’m gonna make a list of all the reasons why quitting smoking is gonna suck.
10. I won’t have an excuse to stand outside and freeze my ass off with my coffee in the morning.
9. I’ll be missing the perfect “dessert” to go with any greasy, fatty take-out I might order.
8. I won’t have an excuse to put a crying, tamtrumy toddler in her playpen and leave for five minutes.
7. I won’t be able to use chain-smoking to lubricate the gears of my brain while I attempt to write my best-seller.
6. I won’t have something to keep my hands occupied and my nerves calm while I talk on the phone to my mother.
5. What am I going to do with all this extra mucus in my head, if I no longer need it to clean out my sinuses?
4. I won’t have that extra punch in the morning that gets my bowels moving regularly. (You’re welcome.)
3. I won’t have that extra nicotine boost to help keep the weight off, and will likely have to replace all my cigarette breaks with “Reese’s Cups Breaks.”
2. Somehow, a stick of gum after sex just doesn’t have the same appeal.
And, the number one reason quitting smoking sucks…
1. Because Fuck You. That’s why.

It sucks. Hope you don’t!
Hope I don’t what? lol Quit?
Suck on the dreaded weed! As a smoker, I applaud everyone who gives up or even tries to. Good luck…
UGH! Quitting smoking totally sucks. Electronic cigarettes take the edge off though. I LOVE my e-cig!
Ya know, I thought about getting one of those… I don’t want to spend too much though.
I hear that. They are a bit pricy at the get-go, but then the refills work out to be about 70 cents a “pack” after that. I had actually quit smoking for a year, but then I’d have the “social cigarette” or the “bad day cigarette” or the “I’m having drinks cigarette” and I saw myself becoming a smoker again. I got my e-cig, and it was the best thing I ever did.
Yeah, I quit when I got preggers…then I smoked one here and there, and hung on like that for two years. I liked to smoke but didn’t feel like I needed to, which Iliked. But recently I started buying packs again.
Good luck with quitting!
🙂 Thanks. Prob going to get an e-cig today to ease the transition
Haha, really? 🙂
Oh c’mon! A stick of Wrigley’s doesn’t do it for you?
Not EVEN! Nor does it help when I’m pissed… I unwrap that motherfucker all rough and mean, but it just doesn’t feel the same.
