How do you cope?

Cigarettes are my saviour, I don't believe anything else helps me.

See, cigarettes don't do anything to help you, that's all in your head. There's nothing in cigarettes that makes or solves problems, it's just become a routine habit you've programmed into your mind, therefore it's become the standard action for whenever you're stressed out lol.

I've seen people like this all the time. "Oh i'm so stressed, need to have another cigarette!..." Then come time to quit smoking, all the excuses come out "I always get stressed, so whenever I try to quit, the more I get stressed the more I have to smoke... Just can't win"

But where does the word "have" come into play? lol There's no need for it. People make it that way.

Whatever works for someone though I guess. I just don't believe coping for a problem you're having is solved by avoiding it and replacing it with another problem.
