woo hoos

and does the happy dance


Umms, now for cass to stop flogging everyone elses smokes :headwall:

My mother and one of my uncles both smoked cigarettes from the time they were teenagers until they both quit cold-turkey in their 40's. For me, growing up around second-hand smoke sucked! I'm glad I never got interested in it, probably because of my mom's habit. Although, if I had access to weed I would give it a try (couple drags) just to take advantage of the 'calming affects' it supposedly provides.

With you mac... I would smoke pot though if I knew how to get it.

Good luck to you Anthony. I quit smoking 4 times before it actually took. It is well worth the effort however.

Jim.

Congratz Anthony!!

Congrats... Have tried numerous times. I mean every way out there. Not going to be for me though for a while. I assume people around me don't want throats ripped out. Not a pretty personality comes out. I think longest I made it was one week. I have had people go buy my smoke brand and a lighter and beg me to please smoke again! Maybe one day. But at this point I would probably give my self a heart attack a lot faster quitting than working on my PTSD first and having it tamed. Off to go find a pack, mine just ran out. You continue to amaze me!

Congrats Anthony. I am down to like 4 a day. Just haven't wanted it as much.

Keep up the good work.

Its right in front of you Antoinette... I know you can do it just as I have... when your ready obviously. Well done on your efforts also, down to four a day is still better than lots a day. Well done. I actually did a debate on smoking years ago, and I was on the supporting team, and had to find why smoking was good for you, acceptable. What a tough job that was, but what I did find is scientific research that does state the chemicals in nicotine are good for in small doses, ie. one smoke per day, though that does not include the tailored cigarettes made with chemicals, I am talking the more refined tobacco products, straight tobacco, cigars, things like that. One per day was actually found to have beneficial properties to assist the body, same as one glass of red wine a day has more benefits for the body.

Anthony, I hope all is well and 'cold turkey' gee' :crazy-eye .........

Congratulations!

Can't wrap my mind around how this is done, what with all those chemicals', but you're doing it Anthony. Keep up your path to far better Health, life energy, and exercize.

You're an awesome inspiration. My best to you always.

ps. If you, or anyone else out there gets their hands on a little of this stuff :pot: ....please smoke a little for me won't you, huh! Please, Just don't develop the habit.


Watched this movie (based on a true story) last night, where this guy was responsible for hauling and transporting that stuff into and across the states. Talk about an extreme life-style that guy lived and when he was shot twice, had a gun stuck in his mouth, and to his head and the trigger pulled with no bullet, I was thinking, I wonder how many countless people are imprisoned, as he now is, perhaps suffering with PTSD, and without knowledge, nor relief from it's horrific and such negative symptoms.

Remember now, why I first posted! It is to congratulate you Anthony on ea. and every day away from the cigg's.

Thanks hope... still away from them, haven't touched one since deciding to stop. If I smell the stuff now it makes me a little ill, knowing that I used to smell that way to others when walking past them, eating, etc.... yuk.
