Hello Friends

[BitterTom]

I fell off the wagon last month and had to go for it again. I have just passed day #9 of quit attempt #3.

Well done mate, it isn't easy. I gave up 4 years ago, and fell off a few times. Used an e cig to control cravings, still on that stupid looking thing to this day, better than cigarettes but can't quit the nicotine! What's your preferred help, gum/vape/patches or something else?

I used these lozenges for a few days but they were vile. I have just been white knuckling it.

If you don't care about the look, vaping really helped me but obviously it's your choice and what works best for you. At the end of the day, you're doing great getting to day 9, those first 3 days were hell I remember.

Never give up on quitting.

Is your honey a smoker too?

Not her, just me.

Well that's a good thing. I've had friends who try amd quit but their partner smokes so it becomes a lot harder if they aren't of the same mind set.

I dont know if this hurts or helps but my dad always poo pooed the idea of quitting until a doctor told him he had lung cancer. He stopped immediately. You don't smoke nearly as much as he did. We've only hung out once but I consider you a friend and really hope you can work thru this.

Oh, I’m doing this. It’s got to be done. I’m sick of it and increasingly self conscious about it.

Glad to hear that.

How goes the healthy lungs campaign, Dave?

How goes the healthy lungs campaign, Dave?

I’ve been good. I have fallen off a few times while traveling. It’s difficult being by myself in a foreign city, away from those I’d be ashamed to smoke in front of.


Do you have smokes?

I can't recall whether I mentioned this before, but I was stunned when we moved here ten years ago how many people smoked (mainly Francophones). I'd never realized how few people still smoked back in Saskatchewan (compared to when I was growing up, anyway), but here, holy crap, spending any time outdoors you're going to come across people smoking. Clearly a cultural thing.

Yeah Quebec is still a smoking province.

I miss smoking.

I miss smoking.

The nicotine effect or the ritual?

That's my reaction when I go to New York City. "Wow, people still smoke here."

Speaking of, I ended up at a casino at the Nevada/California border on Saturday and god casinos are the worst hot boxes.

I miss smoking.

The nicotine effect or the ritual?

Both, but I think the ritual more so. My favorite thing to do as a smoker was to get in my car, roll my windows down, blast some music and smoke. Plus, I still think smoking (cigarettes, not vaping thingies) looks cool.

God, this.

This is undeniably true. Probably why the habit never caught on with me—cool knows damned well to stay away from me.
