Peachy Rayne and you?

Doing good.

 

[churchmouse]

I just never started.

Me either.
I could never see the point. If I put something in my lungs it had better be the good and not a cigarette. Those days are long gone but really, If it is not going to set you back in the chair with a set of headphones listening to Rush then what is the point.

 

[Rayne]

Calling it a night. Good night all.

Good night cutie pie!

I know that all too well. Its the habit, muscle memory if you will.

Exactly that. That's way stronger for me than the nicotine addiction

I just never started.

I wish I hadn't!

 

[churchmouse]

Neil Peart

[Snapdragon]

Plus it's expensive.You would have way less guns if you smoked.

Yep! I'm trying to look at the positive side and realize how much money I will be saving

 

[Sylvain]

Hey Dragon Lady!

If there was a "Flipping Off a Friend" emoticon, you'd get it more than anyone on INGO

Addiction, I think, is much misunderstood even by the people claiming to be experts. There are, for example, heroin users that will tell you it's easier to quit heroin than tobacco, but then there are people (called chippers) that can smoke or not, quit at their will and restart just because. I knew a guy like that, and I've known serious nicotine addicts that couldn't quit short of dying. Sometimes it's the actual nicotine, sometimes there's more to the ritual. You have to understand it, figure it out. I hope you're able to figure it out and get yourself off of it, RnR.

I will do my very best. I have a past that involves other various illicit substances. And I got myself off of all of them many years ago.....and yes this is harder.

 

[mbills2223]

lol yeah...that's perfect

You should save the money you would normally spend on smokes and get you something nice as a reward.

That's actually the plan. Maybe a new gun. Maybe a new kitchen appliance. Who knows? But if he and I BOTH quit we'd be saving over $2K a year

[Trigger Time]

Man I just had a huge fart

 

[RedneckReject]

I told myself I could have a real cigarette at 10. And it's 20 minutes past that time. And I think I'm gonna push it back to 11. I am totally gonna do this. I just hope I don't kill anyone in the process
