Or whatever your name is.

You know you want to, you know you can. You're an intelligent self determining individual who is currently poisoning her/himself, with absolutely no benefit from it.

You know you are massively increasing your risk of heart problems, absolutely destroying your whole breathing system and doing fuck knows what damage to the rest of your body. You know all these things, you're an intelligent person.

Image yourself as a 68 year old just diagnosed with lung cancer, or emphysema, or throat cancer or one of a myriad other things. You've just been given a year to live, if live be the right word, coz you will be in serious pain for most of that time. Not just physical pain, mental and emotional as well. Wondering why you did this to yourself. Wondering why you did it to the people you love, who will now watch you slowly waste away.

Imagine you could come back in time and plead with yourself to stop smoking. Not to have to go through this. To attend your children's weddings and actually dance. Not to be the sad wee figure, sitting in the corner in a wheelchair. Occasionally puffing on an oxygen mask. To know your grandchildren and to walk with them. Not to be lying in a bed, weighing 5 stone, being "fed" thro' a tube and having other tubes up your nose to "breathe" thro".

Imagine this is that plea, gonae stop it for fuck's sake. I beg you.

I think I just have, owing to the lung plague.

I am however, the narkiest bitch on the planet.

If you haven't smoked for about 5 days then it's out of your system.

The narkiness matters not one jot. That will pass with the cravings.

She Who Must Be Ignored gave them up yesterday.

34 hours and counting. My life is a living hell at the moment. I'd rather be on an oxygen mask. Might get some sympathy.

However, I resolve to try on Jan 1st 2008.

Knocked the weed on the head so the cancer is next.

Good on her.

Good on you as well mate.

As an added bonus, you half the chance that the weans will smoke if you stop doing it yourself. You don't want them poisoning themselves with your tacit approval.

Hoi, Cheebus. Crabby is a wee bit crabby because she's giving up the fags.

It's either that for a wee while or long term serious health problems leading to a slow tortuous death.

So gie her a break ya selfish cunt.

I really want a cigarette and I can't cope with any more chocolate. Give me something else to do! Argh.

It's been 6 days since I smoked "properly". I did have one cigarette at the pub about three days ago and hated it. I think its a blessing I still feel so ill. I know the true test will come when I feel better and am back at work.

Shirley, you cant smoke at work. Or do all call centres fall under the laws of India.

In other news, well done the Gripster.

Of course I can't smoke in the workplace you patronising dolt. What I meant is that work is stressful, stress=smoking. Also, going out for a fag on my breaks is habitual. Plus work=probably the pub afterwards. Pub=smoking.

How was I being patronising, love.

Dolt, fair enough no problem with being a crass dolt.

However I am never patronising to the ladies.
