Me madre's a bitch

my mom used to work at a nursing home....but then she got a better job at a hospital

 

yeah, my mom's an alcoholic and she quit drinking for a long time and started again outta nowhere. it really is frustrating.

 

When I was 15 I was mad at my mom for smoking too.

Now I realize I was mad about other things more so than the smoking.

 

I had to clean the bathrooms before i switched to dishes.
I had to take dishes cause my sister got a job

 

You can do that every day. To help a bit...

 

I think you're forgetting a key fact that applies to many situations (obviously including this one), that being that all people are different. We react/withdrawal and become addicted to different things in different ways. I personally never got addicted to smoking cigs, I could smoke one day, then not the next, a whole week, then go 2 etc...I only started because I worked in a cylinder warehouse and it was literally the only way to get breaks. I must admit I enjoyed the smoking aspect of it (smoke/smoking captivates me), but I never felt the "need" for one. After I "quit" (For the most part I don't really say I "quit" anything, because you never know what the future will hold) I felt no withdrawal symptoms. But that's just me....everyone experiences things differently.

Bud....now that's a different story altogether.

Maybe the only reason trehugger sounds "bitter" as you say, because there's no sense in bitching about something as minor as this, when there's sooo many other things out there that actually ummm...what's that word? Matter....Or perhaps she's just turned off by the fact that somebody is being labeled a "bitch" for the act of smoking cigs and not being able to fully quit, at least I know I am.

 

Youre right about that, everyone reacts differently indeed. But I dont care who you are, there is no way you are still physically addicted to nicotine after abstaining for a year and a half. Maybe she still has compulsions to smoke.

The extra nicotinic receptors that are formed from chronic nicotine exposure will be downregulated and die off at most a few months after use is stopped.. The way it sounds like you were smoking was just stimulating these receptors, but start using tobacco chronically and the reduced sensitivity that takes place in these pathways causes the brain to upregulate and form new receptors.

And as far as calling her mom a bitch, I guess youre right about that too. But you never did that? She is probably just annoyed. Plus I just wanted to keep the chain going. The op bitched about her mom, treehugger bitched about the op, I bitched about treehugger.

 

Feel free to bitch about me. It makes me laugh.

(No I never called my mom a bitch for asking me to help out. I called her a bitch when she beat the hell out of me for a bad grade.)

I don't care what you say I know when I'm craving a cigarette. It may be a compulsion, but I can understand how her mother would start back after not smoking for a year. I went three years the last time before I started smoking again.

 

bump

 

It makes me laugh too, its fun. I have no real beef. And yeah I probably never called my mom a bitch either bc she kicked me out before she could ask for help with the dishes, haha.

I can understand how someone would start again too, but I still wouldnt consider that an active addiction. Just familiar habits that turn back into addiction. I get weird about terms though.

With me, it was so fucking hard to get off nicotine that I told myself once I did it successfully I would never go back to it and let the control it has creep on me again. And I didnt. It also helped my resolve seeing my grandfather shrivel up and die from smoking tobacco.

 

Let this serve as a lesson to you as to why you should never pick up the habit.

I've done all the things you've just described...y'know...lecturing someone on the evils of smoking while I suck down another Camel Light.

 

I say fill the toilet with peroxide instead of water, disconnect the flushing handle and when she goes to pee wedge the door so she cant open it.

 

You really have to realize how hard it is to quit tobacco. It is very, very, very hard to do. Just the stress of not smoking is enough to get a smoker smoking again. Don't be so judgmental. And never ever use tobacco.
