Not literally but its my basic attitude as of late.
My wife has decided she isn't happy. After just over a year of worshipping the woman and devoting my life to her and her (my step) son she's decided she's not happy. I have been forced to leave the house. I miss my son so much and shes told me he misses me and asks for me. Everything is really being controlled by her mother whose controlled her her whole life. (Long story)
At the same time I found out the owner of the music store I work/ teach at has secrectly sold the business and I will most likely be out of a job sometime soon.
I have been very tempted to smoke but know it will only make me more depressed. It got me thinking if some reason for smoking is depression, like a socially acceptable method of slow suicide for some. Thats my reasoning for not caring and wanting to start. But I know I've worked too hard to give up now. This is the time when I really prove that I can loose my wife, my son, my house and my job but I won't give in.

Sorry for your loss. You mother would be proud of your decision.
They way you described it was perfect. As non-smokers we don't smoke no matter how bad of a day we have.

We started going to a counselor. Things were going well only made it twice. Then she suddenly flipped on me. I thinik maybe she doesnt want to accept the obvious yet objective awnsers from the therapist who is basically telling her family comes first before her mom.
I just think the whole thing is horrible for the little guy. His real father ran out and has never visted him or paid ****. Ive been his dad for 5 years and suddenly im kicked out. At least I have resonsability and paid my share of the mortgage even though im not living there. I just think its bad for the little guy to have to be subjected to such harsh change.
Congrats to any fellow april ashkickers from last year. You guys helped me get where I'm at today!

Ok so Im almost at a year. Here's what I celebrated with. Oddly I saved almost enough in not smoking for a year to pay for msot of it. I wish I actually saved that money! Anyhow it's my dream guitar.

Cool, definetely a guitar worth not smoking for! But if you do it- do it right, get a nice Standard or Custom Model with a crazy flame top.
The flame will symbolize all the cigarettes you haven't lit! (Nice excuse eh?)
