One more thing for people who are looking to quit smoking -

Buy fiber before you do so you can drink water and the fiber you eat helps your intestines and you don't spend several days in misery.
I'm not talking about Triscuits.
But whatever works.

Interrupting my social media break while dealing with the worst part of quitting smoking to pop in and let you all know that 16 and I walked down the hill of our dirt road and back and 16 slid on a large rock and scraped his knee.
I said, Oh thank goodness.
16- Why?
Me- You haven't had enough skinned knees in your life because you fell in kindergarten at school and lost all adventure.
16- I oddly feel really alive now.
Me- Exactly.

See you all soon!

Remember when you were little and you got a bath and into your pajamas and your parents read you a story and you snuck out of your room to watch what they were watching on TV but they knew you were there and in your heart you knew they knew and they gave you like to the first commercial break before busting you?
Go to sleep my friends.
We're busted.

Sleeeeeep.

@kismatt
Honestly I drink a pot of coffee a day and smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and the gum isn't as bad as that combination.

@Museek
I finally got My mom to understand but although my kids loved her they didn't trust her
And that's what it's all about.
Trust.

@Cryspeg

On my kid's behalf?
Yes.
Otherwise?
Not so much.
People, including my family, don't realize how much they pushed me and how much glee I would feel in retribution.

@Museek

I remember sitting at my kitchen table with my mom and now 16, and 16 was like 5, and my mom teased him and he started crying and I said, "Don't do that to my kid," and my mom said, "It was JOKE! YOU HAVE TO HAVE A THICK SKIN TO BE IN THIS FAMILY," and I said, "Then we're done with this family."

Hi how about when I explain how I'm trying to quit smoking you don't comment on how that failed for you?
Can we maybe work on this on the internet?

@Heatmizer_626

I had heartburn immediately so maybe I'll be okay here.

I said "You will step me down from this now."
It was awful.
Fever. Chills.
Shaking.
I had an infant and a toddler and these people were like eh Vicodin.
I beat that shit in 3 weeks.
I can beat smoking in a month.

True story.
I had a newborn and ended up in a chair one day and could barely take care of my babies due to pain.
I went to a "Pain Specialist."
She put me on Vicodin.
For a YEAR.
I DEMANDED to see a surgeon.
He said, "When that MRI was taken your disc was already gone."
I said, What.
What.
Called the doctor.

@Museek

My family was all about sarcasm and after I grew up I realized that it's just mean.

Over 48 hours without the habitual dealies of smoking but with nicotine gum and frankly I am ready to kick a human being into the sun.
I'm fucking pissed off the way I was when that doctor got me addicted to Vicodin in 2009.
I'm angry.
I'm also stubborn.
Like in 2010.

@Museek @MrGoat

Sarcasm is great with close friends, but it really doesn't translate on Al Gore's Internet.

@Cryspeg
Yeah.
And I couldn't do anything but let the dogs and people who worked there bring him down.

@Museek @MrGoat

Please always be clear.
Please.

Final memory, probably, in my life?
Being terrified to mount a horse, getting settled, seeing my toddler run through the pasture, and turning around to my mom who said, "He was really mad and I couldn't handle the sound."
NO SHIT, AND TOO BAD.

To this DAY I am upset by the fact that my mom wanted me to hide the fact that she ignored my instructions about my younger son and nearly got him killed.
To this day I adore the #horses that lifted their heads as he ran towards the river and basically said, "Okay," without hurting him. Because this kid dodged like 30 horses.
What a weirdass day.
