Rant: Why Is It....?

I found this quote I like, it might help. [color=Red]"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."

I agree with all before, but just wanted to say that if you knew her for 2 years and she was never like that before, why do you suppose she's like that now? I would say it's HER ADDICTION talking to you. You can see the fear sometimes. People at work will look at me funny when they go out for one, and I KNOW their addiction is talking LOUD to them, in FEAR. So just keep on the path you've so exelently trod so far, and pat yourself on the back for scaring another persons demon, too! WAY TO GO!!!!

Duckie067 Can you imagine how your decision affected her?? Remember the Lin Yutang quote about smokers and non-smokers: �The world today is divided into smokers and non-smokers. It is true that the smokers cause some nuisance to the non-smokers, but the nuisance is physical, while the nuisance that the non-smokers cause the smokers is spiritual.� :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 565 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $111 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 11 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Hi Duckie....Fraid there will always be afew idiots here and there...but I think part of the problem is that they REALLY piss us off when we are quitting. I went on a major rant with my sister-in-laws (not at them but with them) and used alot of "unladylike" language helped along by a bottle of wine. The thing is....I'm not usually a "four letter word" gal (except every now and then) I honestly think that these "idiots" really get to us because anger is a natural part of our quit. Personally I pick the anger...much better than the depression part. Alot of us smokers used to take it and just go outside for a smoke to cool down....Well we're not smoking our troubles away anymore...so those people are just going to get to us a tad bit more. Personally, I don't think it will hurt for me to get angry a little more often but I think I'll try to hold back on the "creative" language. Anyway...just realized I'm rambling...Don't let those few get you down....Negative people are just like cigarettes (to be avoided). There are so many awesome people out there to spend our time with.

They just literally make me see red. It's like they will do anything to prompt an arguement or try to belittle someone. No worries Phil. This hasnt caused me to want to smoke or anything. Just a rant to wonder why people do the things they do. What gives them that right?? I know I didnt.
