Its not quite that easy for many of us out there.

Shrug.

That's only true if you are incapable of making a decision. If you are
lying to yourself about wanting to stop, it will be hard. If not, it
won't. As a person familiar to Zen, this should be a piece of cake.
Then again, it's harder if someone else smokes around you constantly.
Still, it's a decision, a logical zero or one. Choose, Grasshoppa.

So Larry..If I decide that I AM going to walk on water..really really
hard..Ill be walking on water in just a day or two?

You really don't want to quit, so I rest my case.

You were recently dropped on your skull? Sure sounds like it.


No, he's right, Wieber. You don't want to quit.


No...Im right.


No, you're wrong, Wieber, as you are wrong about everything. You say
you want to quit smoking, but clearly you don't. I know about this
stuff. Both of my parents died from smoking-related illness. My
brother smoked heavily for forty years, quitting cold turkey at age 58 -
because he wanted to quit and so he quit. My sister, who has frequently
said she wants to quit, still smokes at age 60 - because she doesn't
really want to quit.

You don't want to quit. If you did, you would have done by now. You've
had cardiac bypass surgery, in your 50s. Your doctors all told you to
quit. You haven't quit. That's because you don't want to quit. That's
because you're stupid.




Really?

Show us how that works buddy.

It's easier with simple habits, silly boy.

What..like turning off the TV at bedtime?


Pretty much, you deadbeat dole scrounger.


So who are you going to be when you make your next post?


It doesn't matter who I am, dole-scrounging Wieber. What's important is
what I am. What I am, dole scrounger, is your better - your better in
every dimension.
