So I was cruising Facebook as I do and saw an ad that caught my eye. Tobacco Free Florida is a state run program to help people quit smoking. They have former smokers answering the phones and listening to your whining. This is a big thing for me. Jase has never smoked so he can't really talk me through this stuff even though he's super supportive and sweet. I loves him!
I can call my quit buddy from 8am to 3am if I need her. They are sending me a bunch of literature about quitting. Calling me once a week to check on how I am doing and will be there if I need to talk to someone.
Here's one of the best parts... They are sending me nicotine patches and nicotine gum for 8 weeks. This is huge for me. I didn't think I'd qualify for this part of the help. I do not feel bad for accepting this help considering it's smokers immense cigarette taxes that fund the program. I'm just reusing the money I paid in to get OUT.
This is the most groundwork I've done prior to a quit attempt. The other times I just jumped in with both feet and thought I'd magically be able to quit. This is going to be hard work and I'm preparing for war.
I want to thank all of you for coming here to support me. You have no idea how much this means to me.
That being said I'd like to take a moment to right some wrongs.
I want to take a moment to give props to those who made the right decisions and never got hooked on stupid shit.
You always hear about how someone is a recovering this or that and every ones like "AWWWW! WHAT A TROOPER."
Where is the parade for those people who were smart and didn't get tangled up in addiction in the first place? Here's to you guys! I wish I could count myself among you. The few, the proud, the SMART!
Ignore the fact that the gorilla and lizard are holding beer. You know what I mean! Oh wait...that's popcorn, never mind.
