I know that I should work in a practical manner toward the quit date, but that’s not happening!  Although I should say that I am not in an all out smoke-fest over here.  I am smoking the same amount, but puffing on each one a little longer.

Quitnet sent an interesting tip today ….. I wonder if we get the same ones?

 

At first glance, I didn’t think much of today’s Quitnet wisdom.  But I have been thinking about it and am coming up with some interesting reactions — ones that make no sense and I am almost embarrassed to say out loud! 

I have become such a tool of the media/marketing of cigs — I do like the image it gives me!  I do like being part of a fringe group.  I do like people thinking that I don’t look like I smoke – I want them to think I have a deep, murky, dangerous side!! 

I am a 42 year old, overweight housewife.  I do not have a dangerous side.  I have no wild past — I grew up in a two parent household, I had a wonderful childhood.  I got good grades.  I went to college.  I got married.  I had children.

That is it!  No almost falling out of society due to drug use — even my experimentation was well controlled and at the time, I thought well thought out!  No really wild nights. 

I am boring Vicki!!  I don’t want to read the story of my life — it’s a yawner! 

So to answer Quitnet’s question – I do like to have a smoker’s image — it signals to the world that maybe I am not always willing to do the right thing.

**Dear Reader, please do not leave me any comments regarding my true image as an asshole flirting with lung cancer and a myriad of other diseases.  This is a gut reaction type of post!
