If You Smoke, Have You Ever Been Desperate Enough to Do This?

I'm wondering how many hard core smokers we have here.
Have you ever run out of cigarettes and couldn't buy any
so you rolled up your butts to keep smoking?
Have you ever run completely out of papers and everything
and just been stuck with having to do without?
I'm in that position right now and I'm trying to decide
whether or not to just quit and be done with it.
It's such a stupid habit and costs so much money and
I'm getting tired of running and feeling like I'm going
to pull my hair out wanting a cigarette so bad.
Does anyone else feel this way?

My mother is a hardcore smoker. She's taking medication right now that is supposed to help her stop smoking but it's been a long road that seems to have no end in sight. I have seen her, on several occasions when she didn't have money for smokes or couldn't go get any, she would actually light the butts and smoke those. She has a habit of not smoking the entire thing anyway, so she just ends up smoking the rest of it. I think if you're that desparate then it's probably time to evaluate yourself and your life and you probably should quit. That's definitely an addiction.

You think that's bad? I've been so hard up and desperate that I've gone out and used gas in my car to go looking for butts in ashtrays by motels and convenience stores. I even asked the clerk to save them in a bag for me!

I smoke very heavily and yes i have used all the butts in the ashtray just to get to pay day.I also tried to give up,like you say it costs a lot to smoke,but i could not be without a smoke.I once tried rolling up tea leaves with a friend when we were a lot younger as we had both ran out of cigs,that was yuk.lol.Good luck if you do try to give up.
