Quitting smoking.

Re: Quitting smoking.

Eh, once I graduate it wont bother me near as much. I'll start work, and I'll be doing what I love. I wont be near as stressed. " If you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life." Right now, I work in a high-stress situation telling people what to do, telling people what they can't do. Ruining people's days being yelled at for doing MY JOB when I have no other choice. I've been made fun of for where I work (Rubix), though I have nothing against you. My job is more demanding than people might think. Also, yes the laws where I will be moving I could get sent to jail for even having resin of any sort of smoking device. I did resort to alternate highs such as spice and k2 but I had a fallout with those.

Short version: Marijuana laws in my state are dumb, when I graduate I'll be doing what I love and not so stressed, my job now blows. I also realize I have MANY grammatical errors in this paragraph, I'm too lazy to go back and edit it.

Your functional emotional state's homeostatic and won't change, and you'll be more addicted.

Then so be it. It really does not bother me, I guess since pretty much all my family has un-healthy habits. It's either, obesity ( working on my part of that), drinking, smoking, drugs. I guess I've grown immune to the fact that what I am doing is killing me slowly? Though, much of my family has these problems, many of them live past the average expiration date.

Re: Quitting smoking.

If it's nothing personal, do you mind sharing what your job is? Not to rag on you or anything.

Also resorting to drugs or smoking in the first place isn't necessarily a good idea, not just because of the damage you do to your body but also because it's temporary. Then again this is coming from someone that doesn't go overkill about friends; you might see if differently.

Your opinion would be different if you could better understand the implications of those consequences.

Every time you smoke you develop thousands of mutations in your body, and every harmful mutation further damages your metabolism, increasing the rate of malfunction. You're not only subjecting yourself to every physical illness you could possibly imagine; you're also throwing away your youth. As your biological youth fades away you'll only grow exponentially more ill, until you die. Young adulthood is considered the biological prime for a reason - it's the standard we would all live by, if our bodies would properly maintain themselves for an infinitely sustained period.

Re: Quitting smoking.

I work at a drag strip, which I always have in the back of my mind someone is going to wreck and I just don't want that to happen. That's really the basis of my fear. On top of that, I have the authority to kick someone out, ban someone. I'm not ready for that type of authority. I know it doesn't sound stressful but it really is.

Re: Quitting smoking.

That's probably where your higher level of stress is coming from. You're feeling bad about making decisions that people may find unfavorable.

If think about it this way - police officers are an authority that have to enforce the law. If you're caught doing something that's against state or federal law for example, they still have to take action even if they disagree with it. You cannot be blamed for doing your job - if someone is performing poorly, then they should expect to be kicked out in the first place.

It's different when you're policing the same group of people every day though. People form opinions of you personally.

This is what I am more concerned about. We have basically nothing but local racers, and a few big events with people coming from all over. I don't want to be looked at as, " a douche bag" all the time. I try and explain it's not my fault the head above me made the call. Most of the time, they take out their anger on me.

Get a different job? ): Sounds harsh.

I can't get a job until I finish my obligations with the one I have now, which is like three more races. Two this weekend and one next weekend. When I return back to Memphis, I have a job lined up at Gamestop or Costco. Even then, I'm sure my worries wont leave the back of my head. I don't like leaving a place where everyone considers me an asshole. When I move back, I'm going to have to use my money wisely, so I may be FORCED to stop smoking. Rent, Car, Insurance, Phone, and food will all hinder my abilities go out and spend any money I really make. Right now I have 2 grand saved up from this summer, and I hope to save more.
