This last couple days have been a cluster Fudge, really had me on the edge but 3 day out at the refuge keeping the bad guys at bay, sighting in my 06 and popping off some 9mm will have me right as rain. so for the next 3 days you all have a great time and enjoy all you can while you can, You smell that ? No serious that a deep breath, do you smell that ? FREEDOM ! free from Nicotine, free from work free from the daily grind god it is good to be free ! Ok I may be a little stressed !
March 13, 20215 yr Author was doing fine and then out of nowhere John Hands me a pack of cigars YIKES! My mind starts to Jump back into smoking mode, I had earlier put away a trigger of being on the pourch the smell of fresh rained on dry dirt man that and hot asphalt just rained on smell great. but there I am with a picture of me taking a deep drag off of a sweet Blue berry cigar.! WOOOOO John Thank you but no thank you comes out all squeaky and loud I quit and I had a a heart attack ! but you don't inhale them its not like smoking he said. that's all right no thank. so close I came almost validated not inhaling this was a test of will and devotion to myself. last place I can think of that would have strong triggers for me, at least that I can think of Hey Guys we all have those moments the only thing that save me was when those cigars hit my hand and my eye fixed on them I remember terror shooting thru me shear terror. It was like when you were out with some friends had a beer or two, you know your ot drunk and then the flashing lights go off! that moment when your heart stops or skips a beat before you can think it was that kind of terror.

March 13, 20215 yr Good job Opah, resisting those Cigars, nothing good in them, maybe the odd memory of a once enjoyed smoke, but more importantly you remembered the terror of having a heart attack. Yes shame on your friend for pushing for you to smoke. Good job on resisting. Take care of your self. Edited March 13, 20215 yr by catlover
March 13, 20215 yr Author we got to give John a Pass, it was the first time we had met, we had over lapping Game warden days and he came a day early to get away. he was unaware of my quit and heart issue at the time. I had mentioned about Me hankering for a stogie on cold foggy mornings like it was and he tried to accommodate me. Yes it did challenge the bejeaves out of me, first time in months I had even laid eyes on a cigar let alone hold one.
