I finally quit smoking

Thanks glowlite, it has not been easy. I have basically had to turn my back on a few friends in order to stay smoke free. I knew I had to expect that because at the end of the day people will only do what is right for them regardless of what you ask of them - its human nature.

Case in point.

I've posted about an overweight friend in an earlier post. For quite sometime now he's been nothing if he's been disrespectful to me and to be honest I've grown tired of his condescension, his arrogance and his verbal abuse about my me and my take on life.

So I started to verbally shellack him back in the exact same manner that he had been ripping into me for almost a year now. He cannot for the life of him see the lesson I have tried to teach him out of this exercise. Its only been four maybe five days that I've given him his own medicine back and lo and behold he has not called me back in the past two days.

Making this decision was very tough because it wasn't just friends that I am prepared to let go of only. I have relatives that I have begun pulling away from too.

I knew what to expect and I prepared myself for it. If you are deciding to quit and really mean to do so, take it seriously. Real friends will support you while pretenders eventually show their true colors.
