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.

I think, in situations like this, ultimately you have to do what is best for you. Okay, so smoking is bad for you in the long term, and quitting would be a good thing. But if you're having a hard time right now, and smoking helps you to deal with that... then you shouldn't try and stop right now.

Sometimes we have to do things that are bad for us, because it's the only way we can survive.

I'd rather you smoked, too.

If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. I'm around, and I care.

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.

So, unfortunately you called on a really busy day at work, so I haven't had the chance to get back to you, but I was thinking... Thursday? Lunch maybe? Let me know...
