We Quit Cigarettes

[Meg-in-MT]

Uruk-Hai are creatures from J.R.R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. I haven't read the books (I should, though), but from what I can tell, they're like regular orcs, but worse.

Ha! I knew it. Wasn't positive, but I was pretty sure

You disappoint me daily.

 

[Kiki]

WHAT.

I haven't read the books either, it's been a long time since I've read fiction books. Perhaps my verbal ability has regressed as well, LOL.

You don't like those books, Kiki?

 

[BantyChooks]

Tolkien's writing is beautiful. It took me quite a while to actually get through the books because I kept stopping and re-reading paragraphs to attempt to memorize their beautiful phrasing and flow.

You don't like those books, Kiki?

She automatically hates anything I like.

You don't like those books, Kiki?

No.
I'd rather read about not dying.
Or murderers.

Thank you for the encouragement, you are a sweet lady. But my demons are way bigger than my smoking one, sweet girl. I'm addicted to opioids and Adderall. All prescribed by my doctor. I'm also an alcoholic. I have manic depressive bipolar and the drugs that go with that. THERE, I'VE SAID IT ALL‼
I'M ASHAMED OF IT. BUT IT WAS NOT INTENTIONAL AT ALL.
I have been in some major pain for the last ten years. I was diagnosed with bipolar 20 years ago. I take full responsibility for the drinking. So, you see, I'm kind of a mess right now. I have no drugs now. Nothing to drink. I live out in the country and I don't drive. This is what I want. Quit it all cold turkey. That's the only way I can do it. I told my husband to leave. He did. So, that's what's going on with me!

You can do this! We are here to encourage and support you. Stay focused and be sure to stay hydrated with water and remember to eat something.

Nope.
I'm not reading that one either.

That's what I told my cousin, oh, 50 years ago. I've read the whole series (which is really, really long) plus The Hobbit at least three times since then. (I have yet to make it through The Brothers Karamazov, though. )
