She's Quiting Again

Well, it has happened again. My daughter and I were talking last night. She wanted to use some of her money. (I am her payee) I asked her what money. She looked at me funny. I told her she had no money. She pays half the rent, power, and cable as well as her animal's cat food and litter. The rest goes to cigarettes. The balance in her account was a big 0. She thought about it a bit while doing her usual looking out the window. She told me she was going to quit. We discussed quitting and talked about her having FUM and snacks when she thinks she needs some nicotine. I know it must be hard to quit after smoking for nearly 40 years. I have been a chocoholic for much longer than that. We talked about having to want to quit too and the fact that many smokers take several tries at it before being successful. I like the t-shirt one of my SPtv creators has that says: Never Quit Quitting. So, again I am hopeful.

I'm a bit confused. You said you're a payee. That means you receive money from your daughter. A payor is the one who pays the money for a financial obligation. Just pointing it out for I'm confused.

I hope she can quit this time. It's a bad habit and very expensive. Have a good day.
