ONE HELL OF A VENT!!!!!
Becky
Why the fuck do the assholes around me have to be so goddamn fucking
unsupportive of my efforts to quit smoking? Im mainly talking about at
work,when i mention I quit,I gotta hear a bunch of fucking shit from people.
Shit like" Oh God! Stay away from us" Or " No wonder you are so grumpy"
These motherfuckers actually encourage me to smoke,and like it when i bum
smokes.
I have a fuckng newsflash for these jerks: I am far more bitchy and
depressed and dont give a fuck when I am smoking then when i am not.The
first few days of my last quit i actually bitched and complained far
less,and was far less discontent than the 3 days I have smoked at work.
You see while I was nonsmoking I had more energy to burn, I didnt go in the
break room,and felt better about myself. I smoked Monday -Thursday this
week,and have hated life and every fucking body in it!! I have damn near
lived in the break room smoking ,and wanting a cigarette in between smokes.
My energy level and my contentment with life took a nosedive during those
days. Yet these fuckers think I should continue to smoke! I have not been
all that productive at work this week due to my smoking and bad attitude. I
think they dont give a fuck about me. They are selfish pricks and
prickettes. They are concerned that I will be a bitch if I quit. I cant
seem to get them to understand that I was far happier as a nonsmoker,and
took my job more seriously. I doubt it will surprise any of you to read that
the ones giving me the hard time are mainly smokers.
Yet they fully support the pregnant employee who quit smoking for the sake
of her unborn baby, as well as her Mom who works there and also quit
smoking. They support another girl who just found out shes pregnant and
wants to quit smoking. in fact one person cares so much htat she threatenes
to call the girls husband and tell on her if she smokes.
Yet Becky can just fucking die for all these motherfuckers care!! As long
as I am smoking they figure i will be calm and not inconvienience them by
having a fucking mood swing. You know what???? Fuck them and refuck them!!
And then fuck them a third time!! They were very derisive and unsupportive
when I relapsed into smoking this time.
Tell ya something else: if I have to quit this fucking job to accomplish my
goal of quitting smoking in orde to get away from these people then so be
it. Fuck Cracker Barrel. I came there looking for a job,I can leave there
looking. It dont make a fuck to me if its today,next year or a hundred years
from now. There are still a few restaurants that dont have me on their
No-rehire list.I will go look for them if I have to.
Meanwhile I have put on a patch and reset my meter for another whack at this
quitting business. Goddamn it i am gonna be a fucking nonsmoker one goddam
way or another!!

The unfortunate truth is that some people can't handle someone else actually
kicking the habit because they are upset that they are unable to do the
same. So, they turn their disappointment with themselves into resentment
against you and try to sabatoge your efforts. Don't let them.

That's something I have come to feel really good about. Now that I have
quit, some of my non-smoking friends have admitted to me just how much they
hated it when I smoked around them.

That sounds like a great attitude to me! ;)

Congratulations on choosing to vent and surely earning 'the vent of the year
award'! Your post is the reason that I advise friends to stop just for
themselves and perhaps not even tell anybody, at least in the beginning,
about the stopping. People sure are strange sometimes...

Ignore them oru se them as fuel. Reverse the negative feelings and
CHANNEL them towards your hatred of smoking. Everytime they anger
you, return to the source of your anger.

I'm new here, I've tried a few times, and I'm still trying. I did change
my job, because I knew that I wouldn't make it where I was, although the
situation was a little different. I live in Poland, where a lot of
people smoke, and I owned a cafe up to the end of August where almost
everybody smoked. I smoked two packs a day + secondhand. The temptation
was just too much for me to quit, and to be angry at everybody would
have been a killer for turnover. So, like an alcoholic bartender, I kept
things going for quite a long time. Now, I've closed the cafe, and
started getting serious about quitting. It's been almost two months
since I bought a pack of cigarettes, I've used patches, and have started
getting used to the higher level of emotions that I experience, but I
relapse with cigars, too. There are some things, that for me to
completely quit will always be problematical like the fact that here in
Poland the whole scene is smoker friendly, like your workplace. (except
for McDonald's... never thought I'd have a valid reason to want to go
there :) )
Anyway, this is YOUR chance for a better life that will be like you want
it to be, so FUCK the people at work. It's like going to church: we all
go together, but in the end, we go alone.
Hang in there,
Petros

It's called envy. They are jealous of your ability to quit, and want
to undermine your quit to make themselves feel better. Don't let
them.

A1 rant Becky. You're back on the wagon again, which is great. It sucks that
you have coworker so unsupportive but you've got to succeed despite what
they may say or do. You control your future Becky. Read and post as much as
possible here at AS3. We're here to help. You CAN do this. Believe in
yourself. One goddam way or another you WILL be a nonsmoker.

You were one of our original Junquis! It's good to see you back.
I quit for 5 years once, then picked it up again... and it took me 7 more
years before I would try it again!!!
You obviously care a lot about what other people are thinking about you...
But, you have to become extremely selfish about your quit. This quit is all
about you. What are you going to do for you?
You can read and post here daily! Put together a plan and then work your
plan! Plans help you when you can't decide what to do next- and there will
be those times! Most of all, don't smoke. Not even 1 puff!
I have been freed from tobacco for 1y 5m 2w 12:50,
which means I haven't smoked 11,713 cigarettes.
That's not one puff, toke, drag, draw, hit, or large dose of
2nd hand smoke! (Note: In the event of a relapse, this meter
would be reset to zero, but that's just not going to happen!)
:-p~~~~~~~ Keven
Don't ever forget why you quit.

Thanks ,Mias! It sure felt good to get all that out. I definietly cant go
off like that at work,and still expect to have a job!LOL
I think that I will say nothing this time and just not smoke. Oh they
will notice sooner or later when I am conspicuously absent from the break
room,but I will deal with that when it happens. right now I need all the
support I can get ,I dont need these people dragging me down.
I figure if i have a bit of moodienss so be it. I dont deserve the death
penalty just for grumpinness. and that is in essence what I am sentencing
myself to every time i pick up.

the last 2 weeks. I know it's because he's stressed out (me too) about not
knowing if he has a job past next Wednesday, but he's really getting on my
nerves. But I refuse to let him control my quit, and I refuse to let him
make me smoke. I don't care if everyone hates me, if I hate everyone, or if
the whole world falls down around my ears, I will NOT smoke. I refuse to
give that power to anyone. I will scream, I will cry, I will cuss and slam
doors and stomp my feet, but I will NOT smoke!
You control your quit, Becky, not anyone else. They are not worth losing
your quit over. If they care that little for you and what YOU want and
need, then FUCK THEM! Don't let them ruin your quit, don't give them the
satisfaction. Let them be selfish pricks, it doesn't concern you, it's
THEIR problem, not yours. Hang in there, Becky. You do what you need to
do, the rest of the world will just have to get used to it or die.
