As the title suggests, my mother is a cigarette smoker, and has been a smoker since she was very young. Unfortunately, I’ve been around a lot of cigarette smokers my whole life, which I absolutely hated.

The smoke would make it extremely hard to breathe and the smell that stuck to their mouth and clothes…. Don’t get me started.

Anyways, for the last couple of years, I have been more on my mother to stop smoking or at least slow down. She smokes inside which means my boyfriend can’t come over often because he has asthma. It means our house smells like cigarettes. It means there’s cigarette smell & ashes all over the place in the bathroom and her spot in the living room.

Cigarettes are expensive and we’re poor as hell. She chain smokes cigarettes, smokes them almost every time she uses the bathroom, smokes them each time we’re in the car (even though everyone tells her not to), she smokes them each time she walks the dog… I can go on.

She’s disabled but not on assistance yet, she gets money from my great aunt for rent/to get by, and since I work I help her out sometimes when I can/want to.

Gas prices are going up. We have three people in the house and only one of them (me) actually works. We have three pets. But my mother prioritizes cigarettes all the time no matter what. To be honest, there are many examples of her doing this but what angered me today, and made me make this post was the fact that she ran out of toilet paper.

I bought her a pack of cigarettes for mother’s day and yesterday she had me buy her another pack.

I woke up this morning to a roll of paper towels in the bathroom. Luckily, I use/buy my own wipes, but I’m still angry due to her stupidity and cigarette addiction.

Instead of giving me money yesterday for toilet paper, an actual necessity, she decided cancer sticks were more important than basic hygiene. I’m so sick of it. I’m sick of the smell. I’m sick of the waste of money. And I’m sick of how she gets when someone says something to her about it.

So, would I be wrong if I called her out about choosing cigarettes over toilet paper, and telling her I’m not going to get her cigarettes (even if she gives me the money) anymore?

I’m beginning my health & healing journey again.. I’ve been neglecting myself lately, but now that it’s getting nicer out, my goal is to be outside as much as possible.

I need some help finding beautiful, peaceful, and dog friendly walking trails, easy/beginner hiking trails, and parks in or nearby Saratoga for when I’d just like to lay on a blanket in the grass with a book!

I’d also be interested in nearby swimming holes, hidden camping spots, and whimsical scenic areas :)
