The fire that burns me soul.
Me be giving up the one damned decent gift that were stolen from the gods- Fire. That's right, Fire. Prometheus, that little freak went and snatched the damn stuff away from Mt. Olympus and got nothing for he efforts except gettin himself chained to a rock and havin an eagle nibble on he liver day after day.
Me wonderin iffin the Monster can live without he spiritual seasoning.
Me knows that smoking ain't good fer ya, but it's just sooo damned tasty and it looks absolutely cool.
Most folks say that it's a nasty habit. Well what habit worth havin ain't?
Me just sittin on the fence here and me be pretty certain which side of the wall Humpty Dumpty will fall on. Just gonna step out and enjoy a final talk with a friend me knows me shouldn't hang out with, but loves him alla same.
Just like in them Sergio Leone westerns the Marlboro man rides off into the sunset.
Fade to black.
Me no breathing fire, no more.

Oh you wonderful creature!!! If it works PLEASE tell me your secret.. I have tried SO many times. You are SO in my thoughts, bestest of luck my dear. I've been enslaved by that fire for about 20 years now. UGH!
Kanrei's stopped.
Dearest Monster-
You can do it. You can give up the fire and the smoke. You will breathe easier, smell better, and will save money too~
Scary Monsters have tremendous will power, and tail power (at least Godzilla does! :)
If you can just get over the cravings...lots of sushi might help :)
Extra love might help too, but I'll leave that to Mrs. Monster ;)
I send hugs though :)
-whoever could me be?
It's a hard decision, Scary Mon, and one only you can make. I've paid lip service to quitting before, but I guess I lacked the staying power. Like Jeanniegrrl, I am enslaved by the fire. Maybe you'll discover the secret to springing us all.
I've quit it, and the last time it stuck. Although I try one once every couple years, I always am reminded what a bad idea it was. "I used to do that twenty times a DAY? GAH!"
The nicotine addiction (physical) is out of your system in a week, ten days at the most. That's actually the easy part. The psychological addiction is what gets most people puffing again.
The only advice I have is just to remember that quitting is an act of not doing. It's actually easier than doing, bit it takes practice. If you slip, it's not failure. Just resume not doing, and with practice you'll get better at it!
Me have no fucking idea what you be talking about. STUMPED!
Grrl~ Me knows that some people use drugs or the patch or gum and other stuff. Me just uses guilt, shame and desire. Me made the public statement. Now me must live up too me word.
Camille ~ Both Kanrei and tgf have told the Nicodemon to get out and never darken their bronchioles again.
Anonyfriend~ This be strictly a health thang. Me loves the taste, smell and sight of tobacco. Me problem be that me often smokes 30 cigarettes a day. Breathing be important
SJ~ Enjoy it Serena. Prometheus died so that you may smoke.
jimj~ Thanks. Me be pretty sure that me will slip. After all, me has no feet. Just gotta make sure that me keeps some skag around fer the cravings.
Mr.Dykerson~ And revree calls me a 5 year old?
STOMP.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. I always kept cigs in the house, even while in the throes of withdrawal. I had a pack taped up on the wall next to the calendar as I was crossing off the days. That way it wasn't about not having them, it was about not smoking the ones I had. I think there are still some red box dunhills in my kitchen junk drawer. But they're about eight years stale now.
I started smoking when I was about 10. I got cancer when I was about 46. They take your cigarettes away if you don't throw them out. I've seen a lot crap in the chem room and the radiation waiting room I wish I had never seen. In my dreams I still smoke but I haven't lit up since the diagnosis.
You can doo eet!
Corn dog~ There be some similarities between us, except that me has continued to smoke and drink after Me surgery. Now it's time to really straighten up and fly right.
Grunt~ We both can, Cap'n
STOMP.
Acupuncture helped me. I still wanted to bite the heads off of animals and small children and drink their blood for the first 3 days. And I cried alot that first week. But you can do it.
You will feel better.
Stick your head in the icebox if it gets really bad.
It works.
