Coping

[azdesertrose]

I'm trying really hard to cope with everything. All the new demands on my time, all the changes in my life.

The one thing I just can't cope with right now is trying to quit smoking. I just can't deal with that right now on top of everything else. I just can't deal with it right now.

It really is either I smoke when I get stressed, or I buy razor blades again and start cutting myself every time I get stressed. That's what it boils down to. I'd rather smoke.

Smoke 'em if you've got 'em.

There are times to quit, and there are times not to. Now's not the time.

BTW, what's your brand? I'm a Camel man myself.

I used to smoke Camel No. 9's.

Nicholas got me to quit smoking those because I smoked too many of them (a pack a day or so), and he and I both like Djarum Specials (clove cigarettes) so that's what we've been smoking together. I'm down to smoking maybe four or five a day, sharing with Nicholas, so I don't think I'm doing too badly really.
