Awesome job Kris. Much respect to you!!

For all you addicts out there that racked up another day of going smokeless, congratulations. You have my love, respect and support. If you stumbled today you have my love, respect and support. And if you get back on the train tomorrow I bow to the strength of your resolve. Where ever you are be of good cheer, for it may be true that misery loves company, it's also true that the company can't get away from the miserable fast enough. Have a great night all. Stay strong and stay free.

the breathing exercise I do 2 parts: 1st part...take 3 long slow deep breaths and on the 3rd breath hold it for as long as you can. Ideally you want try to hold it long enough that it takes 15 or seconds to fully recover. once you recovered fully do 2nd part...place the palms of you hands together chest high so you can isometrically press them together. Again, take 3 long slow deep breaths and on the 3rd exhale, completely empty your lungs and press your palms together as hard as you can and hold your breath with the lungs empty for as long as possible. Ideally when you inhale you want to have held it long enough it makes you gasp for air. I just kind of dove into this but it might make sense to ease yourself into these and see how you react. 40% of the time it works everytime for killing cravings

I like this one for bed time. I switch between a few different ones but I think i like this one the most

I'll post some links to some videos i use to try and convince myself that I don't smoke and that it smells horrible even tho I still like the smell of a cigarette. Don't try to figure it out, I'm really screwed up in the head. Here's the first one. I use this one in the mornings and during the day when I have time.

staying late then

been somewhat bitchy

ease up missy

I know without a doubt that I have extended my life by quitting smoking. Ever since that first morning f***ing days just never end.

understand the element

bound to happen

@jillaram i official now? LOL

@RozukiSo glad to hear you have recovered from those things. It's good to have people like you around to look to for the required endurance on the trip. I really dig that smokebusters graphic in your signature. Can't wait until i ain't afraid of no smokes myself. hahaha @jillari thought i had but i guess i didn't click one of the required buttons or something since it hasn't shown up. That is a good idea for the motivation.

Check out Jason Fung vids on youtube. He has a lot of great info on fasting and health. I think it's great that you are doing something to take your healthcare into your own hands. Sometimes you just gotta go with what feels right to you!! Just saw back in the old posts you talked about JF so just ignore me.

bong hits harsh

you see now?

weird you know

set up three

Ducks also swim (I am so going to hell...i'll stick to the game now)

Joan can't swim (er...i meant natalie but that don't rhyme)

@Rozuki 40 years is about how long i smoked. had about a 4 year break in my late 20's and a few failed quit attempts in my 30's and 40's. Now i'm in my late 50's and i feel like i've dodged all the bullets and land mines humanly possible. How is that health issue now? Are you recovered or on the mend?

wired for this

@Doreensfreesorry for the loss of your husband. thank you for sharing the experience
