Working on the improbable...

Nov 18, 2008 18:57

Okay, I'm doing what I feel is damn near impossible...I'm quitting smoking. I have been a smoker since I was thirteen, so seven years and a large hunk of my life. But like many, these economic times are making drastic changes to our lives. For one, I was unable to continue attending college this year, yet another, I have been in NY instead of WA like I had planned because of it. And because of all that and my particular location in a small town in a really rural area, I have not been able to find a job in over two months. Another horrible part of this chain effect is I recently lost my health insurance because I must hold a fulltime position in college to stay on my dad's policy, which has resulted in over a thousand dollars in medical bills that I currently am unable to pay, along with a maxed out credit card and a wiped out bank account. So at this point I am at my wit's end. So this lovely snowball effect has led to me now quitting smoking, or actually trying my damnedest to quit I am still smoking off others, a kind of leech I used to feed and not the kind I'd like to be. So if anyone out there knows a rich relative, who would love to help me out, just let me know. I hope everyone else out there is doing alright, and I pray I'll be okay soon too.
