Hour by Hour

I have not had a cigarette in 40 hours.

OMG I open paint three times trying to get notepad open to write this....

I hate people that used to smoke and now are all rabid and antismoking, how dare they presume to have greater will power than I just because I smoke. Levels of willpower are only applicable to not smoking when someone does NOT want to smoke.

I hate people who smoke and feel superior about it.

I hate people who hate smokers and have never smoked.

I hate sunny days and bunny rabbits.

I WANT TO SMOKE!!!

But I have made the conscious decision not to smoke, not from choice or economics but from pure and utter logic. I want extra cash, I want a sweeter mouth to kiss the strawberry lips of my beloved, I want to live a longer life so that I can make love to her for years more.

I hate the fact that anything has this level of power over me, I hate it almost as much as I hate my ex-wife, no scratch that, I hate nothing as much as I hate her, if she had been a decent human being I would have quit a decade ago and been over this now.

I dare one person who is a drinker to say anything to me either way about smoking, they have their crutch and when they kick it, they can call me and commiserate, until then they are worse than any smoker.

GIVE ME A CIGARETTE!!!

NOOoooOOOOo!

Okay I am cool, no need for a smoke, I feel like I am letting Denis Leary down, at one point like him I was going to be hiding under my bed while they bricked me in, screaming "I have a full cigarette machine and you cannot get me!!!" but now I am trying to end a 19 year obsession.

Hmm my smoking habit is old enough to vote, it votes "KEEP SMOKING" with each throb of my heart

But my brain screams NOooooOOOOoo, and then my veins scream YesssssSssssss.

I think it was Keith Richards who said that cigarettes are harder to kick than heroin, and if anyone knows he would.

I want to sue those who sue tobacco companies over the habit for being morons; it causes me emotional distress that people that dumb can breath, much less smoke. When they win? My God, can we just for a second see our justice system may be a little hosed? Be right back, going to McD’s to spill some coffee on my crotch.

I estimate smokes cost me $2400 last year, not counting lighters, ashtrays, cleaning bills and a nice burn on my oak desk, $2400, you know, $2400 is a lot of lap dances.

Fattest human being I work with, says “Just get some gum” Hmm then he gets offended when I tell him next time instead of eating that 3rd pizza maybe he could chew some damn gum instead.

No one can help you quit smoking, they can wish you luck; they can curse your name, in the end only you can do it. Support groups are a bunch of people who failed to do it on their own, and want to have others to whine to about it.

Oh yeah, patches, gums, inhalers, oh yeah, come on Opie, you think I want to be addicted to seeping chemicals through my epidermis, chewing gum that tastes like nasty feet dragging through an ashtray, or spending 50 times as much on tubes of plastic to breath through.

I have not had a cigarette in 41 hours.
