Today, my older brother offered me a cigarette. I took it and barely took a drag before he socked me in the arm and lectured me for taking the offer. He's an alcoholic, and smokes daily. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my uncle gave me a lecture on how I eat too much "unhealthy" junk food, and that it can be very harmful for me. All the while smoking a cigarette. FML
Today, my mom found out about my brother smoking. She calmly discussed smoking with him. On the other hand, I got yelled at and made to do chores all day despite having a university exam, just because I knew about it but I didn't tell her, because I knew that I would get the short end of the stick. FML
Today, my brother hugged me for the first time. Turns out he was patting me down to make sure I didn't have cigarettes. Love you too, bro. FML
Today, my brother woke me up by trying to light my bed on fire. FML
Today, my dad hit his mid-life crisis. When I came home and said hi, he told me to shut up, then went to the living room. He then lit up a cigarette and started muttering about having to put up with me, then went into a coughing fit, because he's never smoked before in his life. FML
Today, my brother accidentally hit me in the throat. After I stopped coughing, choking, and feeling like I was going to die, he came back into my room, quietly said "I know your weakness," and left. FML
Today, I got into a major fight with my parents over my younger brother stealing from me. Their response was to get angry at me for my "tone" with them. My brother is 18 with an obvious drug problem, but my tone is the problem. FML
Today, my brother was going to get some drinks for a party we were going to. After getting the drinks, he ended up leaving me at home while he went and got drunk like never before. FML
Today, my brother was asking why I'm mad at him. Not a big deal, if we and our friends weren't now banned from a pub, all because he got shitfaced, started smoking weed and stripping off in public, even though marijuana wasn't allowed at all. FML
Today, a man in a hurry asked me for a light. Not being able to find my lighter amongst the muddle inside my handbag, I handed him my lit cigarette so he could light his. He took it from me, started smoking it and walked off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe he is trying to make sure you don't go down the same path.

Maybe he's trying to help you out. Addiction sucks.

Maybe that's his way of saying "Don't end up like me."

His motto seems to be "Do as I say, not do as I do!"

Maybe he's trying to keep you from making the same mistakes he made

You still deserve it.

Even smokers understand how bad it is. Two of my bosses do it and they hate it because they are killing themselves.

Testing you? I would guess see if you will follow in his footsteps or not

I started smoking heavily around 14 but I made the smartest choice by quitting when I was 20, its been actually 1yr & 5 months now that ive been clean & let me tell you it was literally one of the hardest tasks I ever put up with & I feel so much better, mentally & physically.. Don't start now if you never smoked before, its really not worth it. Thing is tho drinking occasionally is fine as long as you know ur limits.. everything in moderation. But I truely hope ur bro gets the support he needs. Just stay healthy, man.

Just because someone else does something doesn't mean it makes it right for you to do the same thing

I think he's trying to look out for you, man.

So? Just because he does it doesn't mean he's not allowed to help you. You should be happy you've got a brother that's looking out for you, not complaining.
