I am always asked this question. Why do you drink and smoke so much? The fact is, I don’t know. I drink by the gallons to stay totally sober and I smoke more than I can count. It’s not a good thing in life, and I don’t even try to justify it.
I don’t even remember how I started smoking way back some 7 years back. It just happened, and nicotine got the best of me. And it’s killing me within. I am what you call a chain smoker. I am not too proud of the fact.
My ex and I broke up because of my smoking. I couldn’t quit then too, in fact I started smoking more. I smoked like there was no tomorrow. And every day I drank my sorrows away. It happened at a time when I was just about to leave for a small city during my internship in Bangalore. I knew no one there. And anyone would need people around him/her after a break up. We broke up and I left for Belgaum.
I landed there in the morning and checked into a hotel. By afternoon I had started drinking and finished by 10 pm. I was sloshed beyond recognition. By 11 pm I was sure, I would have to be hospitalized. Thankfully, the next day I only woke up with a bad hangover and a migraine. I came back to Pune for my final year of MBA and left all those behind. A cigarette and glass of whiskey was my trademark. It still is.
Things just get way too shitty at times. But that’s no excuse. Go on, say it. I know you want to. ‘Vinni! This is not the way you deal with life!’
Blah!
why do u hesitate to try methods to quit vinni ?even if u did,they werent strong enough ?

everyone likes to give some gyaan dont they?
Enjoy it while you can.
You just asked for it honey, what with your heartfelt confession. any one with an ounce of sense and care for you will obviously give you gyaan, unless they want to be contrary. me? u have thought about it, written about it, i would say, u r just one step away from doing something about it.
Hey I read this somewhere, ‘healthy people are going to feel foolish someday, dying out of nothing’. at least you would die of a rotten liver and blackened lungs. with that cheering thought…
yeah…what you say is right. i am a stubborn mule, but eventually things do drill down!
things are looking up already…i am working on it.
Vinni,I don’t know you. Read one of your comments on my blog so thought about checking your blog. Now I am not a preacher that I would ask you to quit smoking, neither am I a doctor that I would suggest you different ways through which you can achieve the same. But to share a secret I was a chain smoker too. And trust me Vinni, its impossible to quit by following any method or teaching or preaching. I quit because I wanted to, within the matter of an hour or so. You would be able to do the same, but only if you want to. Till then, happy fagging buddy
Addiction is a word, I would give no gyaan all I would say sometimes we need to challenge our limits. To prove a point (to may be no one, or I dont know)
For some it is the number of pegs
for some it is the number of packets
and for me it has always been the tilting speed-o-meter towards right.
best of luck and keep living on the edge but make sure you don’t fall of the edge
On the contrary, I love the way you are dealing with life.. I mean, whats better than being so sloshed that it does not matter whether you are comin or goin. And anyways who cares about lungs and kidneys, yeh to saara dil da maamla hai..
Smoke & Booze are not the solutions to peace in life. Try yoga instead! It works.
Fellow bloggers like to give ‘gyaan’ because they can’t see a good blogger dying!! I hope that’s a practical answer, innit?
You forgot to mention about the helpful rick driver!
Cheers!
who cares how u deal with it
dont get sick in the process of dealing with it though
there would be another thing to deal with then..
HI brother,i can understand your problem,because i have also passed through this way,so its now new for young guys but brother remember one think that its very difficult but not impossible,yeah i am not saying to quit abruptly but try to use minimum as could as possible,do just half your consumption.
All I’d say is – if it works for you, well and good!!!
