Parents: do you drink or smoke to get through the day?

Post Reply New Topic

Sinc e this is a forum and I'm a stranger to you all ..I voted the 3rd option but would rather leave it at that.

My parents did both and nothing good came of it. As soon as my husband and I decided to have kids, we left our vices behind us. It was hard, but it was the right thing to do. Our situation is a bit unique, though. We don't have any nearby family to care for our kids, so we're on call every second of the day. The one or two times a year that I have a beer, or a glass of wine, I feel guilty and worry about a sudden accident happening and not being able to deal with it. I guess that sounds a little paranoid as I write it, but to me, it's just not worth it.

I also burried both my parents early from smoking-related illnesses. I never wish to put my kids in that situation.

i have gone back and forth from smoking and not smoking, either way its doesnt really do much, jsut gets me cold in winter when i have to go outside
