not sure if I'm quite ready to quit; mourning best-friend's death to cancer last summer and feel like, what's the point in preserving my lungs?

I'm sorry about your best friend. I'm not ready to quit smoking quite yet either. Have you thought about the pros and cons? To me the pros being the numbness, and the feeling of being stoned outweigh the cons such as memory loss, no motivation, and did I say memory loss?

I just lost my reply which was three paragraphs of "me too!" about the memory (especially word finding...'uh....') and gratitude for your reply and support. It's been most helpful just to know there's someone like me...I just keep coming up with 'I want the happy stone feeling' more than the stuff I'll get from cutting down/quitting. I know quitting is scientifically supported but I really don't think I'll ever stop...would just like to go from the almost daily after work buzz back to 1-2/month or less. I functionally dependent. I just like the buzz so much--it calms my brain and soothes my tired body. I can rationalize it all day; and I'm realistic about the consequences but I can't get around to making it happen...I just keep coming back to Carpe Diem...because you never know when you're gonna get kicked off the ride. THANKS SOOOOO much for listening; I have a lot of guilt for not following through with the goals I've set and bounce between self-loathing and righteousness as hemp is a natural remedy for what i've got!
