To Smoke Or Not To

I am a selfish person, who have no other thoughts. And you the READER remember that.

Here is the unedited version of my path to get my addiction to smoking.

In 1986,7 or somewhere I finished a session with some friends in High Kingsdown. A Session meaning whole night plus just messing around with sound equipment. at least my mates were producing gingles for the local radio stations. I was just drinking taking drugs making permanent supply of cups of tea. Well we all made the tea. And about 11 am next morning my mouth felt as it should. So I decided to go home. Just before I left I butted a three quarter ciggerret into the ash tray. I remember that as my mouth felt ahhhhrrr. On the way on Kingsdown Parade going up towords Cotham as I was living in Hapmton Road B&B at the time. I remember some people coming abreast of me and I felt that I wanted to cross the road to avoid them. But there was traffic and I could not. Next thing I remember, after I have passed this bunch of people, was that I am passing under some scaffoldings and I had a freshly lit ciggy in my hand. For a few moments I realised what 'my whole being' done something without me realising what is going on. I lighted a ciggy. I did not need the smoke. I felt comfortable with it, in a chaotic situation.

Then I started thinking about the whole situation. I went on a mad walk which took 11 days and ten minutes and 176 miles across Wales. Offa's Dyke Path. I did it with a friend of mine and on the 5th day (I have to check this with the journal I kept) I run of ciggys and money was running short of money. So I decided from that time onwords I will not buy any straights. And only smoke roll ups. Cool that I did manage to cut my smoking down to about 2.5 grams a day, by 2006. That was a facter of 50 grams to 2.5 grams.

Then in 23rd dec 2007 I decided not to buy any more tobacco. That was because I have run out of duty free I always smoked and didn't have any gismo to get any more. So since then I have been 'accused' of bumming tobacco who ever comes around. I had some shade leaves of ganja and started a mix. I finished the shade and got into ganja and baccy mix. I got to 1/10 level at the moment. I am trying to get it a bit sorted as some days I get zonked out but some days I don't. I will connect the blog together later.
