My Friends...

Driving home from work today I realized that literally all of the people who I actually like and spend time with are smokers. What does that say about me and my friends that I can not think of a single person that doesn't smoke. I always used to joke around and say things like I am going to go smoke cause that is what all the cool people do. Don't get me wrong, I know smoking is not cool. I have known that for a very long time now. But apparently all of "the cool people" are doing it... at least in my circle.

I am sure it was the junkie brain that caused me to come to this realization but that doesn't make it any less true. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances and I can seriously only think of one that doesn't smoke (she just quit but isn't around much anymore) and maybe a couple others but they don't live here anymore. Everyone who lives in this town that I spend time with or am friends with smokes. And not just a little bit.. these are avid smokers like me who enjoy smoking.

One friend of mine offered to quit with me today. We shall see....

Wow, Lakasha, that would make it a little tougher. I'm fortunate that these days everyone around me that I like hates smoking, completely, and they were usually puzzled by the fact that I was a smoker. Maybe seeing you pull off not smoking in spite of the extra hurdle will encourage some of them to go for it in time, too.

It could come as a by-product of my lifestyle choices.. ie the seedy bars etc and that I have that tendency to surround myself with like minded people.

It would be wonderful if I could convince at least a few people to quit. And my success just might do that. I have a few friends who are waiting to see how I do and wanting me to let them know if Chantix really helps me.
