I guess I should post

Jul 20, 2008 22:18

Not that I really have anything to report...
I mean, I do, I've made a lot of big decisions this past week or two, and things are changing a lot. They just... feel kind of meaningless, at least, I think they would to people who aren't me.

Andy and I are still not legally married. There's a whole big to-do to getting married as of this year - last ( Read more... )

I'm not criticizing you, but whoever said nicotine is a stronger addiction to heroin is an IDIOT.

Seriously.
People kill because they can't get heroine.
Daily.

And it's better to "cheat" and quit. People who say it's cheating are just angry people.

According to the University of Minnesota
"Tobacco is as addictive as heroin (as a mood & behavior altering agent).

* Nicotine is:
o 1000 X more potent than alcohol
o 10-100 X more potent than barbiturates
o 5-10 X more potent than cocaine or morphine"

People don't need to kill people for nicotine. It's easy to get.

Good for you for quitting though! I totally agree, better be a "cheater" than a smoker - but I don't really think it's cheating at all. There's no reason why we shouldn't take advantage of medicine that's helpful. In fact, *not* using it seems like just being obstinate and arrogant about proving to people how strong your willpower is or something. The goal is simply to stop, not to prove anything! Well, keep it up! :)

Man, getting legally married really does sound like a pain with all that paperwork... :p It strikes me as funny too that you should have to go through premarital counseling to get a discount when you've been married for a year. Sillies!

Wow, exciting! Go go go!

Also, I have some things of yours from CONvergence.
I keep calling you, but you never get back to me... T_T
Do you want them?

I'm bad about remembering things. I've been meaning to call you and Andrea for about 4 days now.

Lol.

I only remember to do things because I have a TODO list.
It says "return lissa's stuff"
"finish Lightning"
"do the woodwork"
"clean your room"

Are you on Chantix? My mom was on that and it worked like a charm, she said it made smoking feel totally gross and worked when nothing else did. The only hard part is not going back to smoking (hey I wonder how this cig will feel now that I'm off the meds...?) which ultimately fouled her up because she thought just one wouldn't lead into the addiction spiral again.
