Still a bit of a goody goody!

So I was thinking about some of the things that I haven't changed about my lifestyle or my "morals" since deciding the church was a crock of shit! It kind of makes me a bit of a goody goody especially when I see a lot of exmos really go pretty far in the other direction once they make their break from the church. I guess it's probably because I have always been a neutral, gray thinking kind of gal. I don't like extremes one way or the other. Anyway

1-I still won't smoke. I watched both my maternal grandparents die from smoking related illnesses and I won't touch those cancer sticks with a ten foot pole. The last few years of their lives, my grandpa especially, were not pleasant for them, to put it mildly. I hated seeing them suffer. It broke my heart that my grandpa had to give up his beloved camping trips and gardening because of that damn oxygen tank he had to pull around.
2-I won't do drugs. Nope not even pot. First of all, just smelling it gives me a migraine. I just don't find it a "cool" thing to do. Though it doesn't bother me if others want to smoke dope. As long as it's not around me. I hate Migraines!!!
3-I will always be a one man woman and will always expect my dh to be a one woman man. There will be no threesomes, orgies or swinging. We are both the jealous type and it would not work in our marriage. It would kill us actually. Besides we both get everything we need from each other and do not need any extraneous people. Plus it kind of grosses me out. But, I don't care what other consenting adults do with their sex lives. If you want to experiment go for it. It's your right as sexual beings!!

You know that might be about it. I will drink, swear and wear tank tops! Go me!!!!

LOL Funny post, I had to comment!
Wow, you make being an Exmormon sound very exciting! Why didn't I ever get to do these sinful things?! :)
1-I don't smoke.
2-I have never done a single drug... I swear, not even pot. Does Zoloft count?
3-I have never had or been to any wild sex parties... well, after I resigned my membership anyway. There were those secret orgies in the temple... KIDDING!! Don't send me hate mail, people.
So now what? Looks like my life is just as boring as it was before I left the church.
Bummer.

Yeah, it's kind of boring huh!! Let's just say I have been reading some very interesting exmo- opinion pieces.

I don't really consider myself a boring person, I just don't need to do a lot of stupid shit to have fun!!

I don't think you will get hate mail from someone reading my blog. First because I don't think a lot of people read my blog and the ones that do probably aren't mormon or don't get offended easily.

Regina, we don´t really have mormons over here, but I used to be part of a new-born-christian-thing way back, so glad I´m out of it! And I agree with 1-2-3 too...
