Myths And Facts

Krack3rJack's post kept running through my mind after I read it.

It got me to thinking about the similarities between both addictions.

Smoking and eating addictions are so similar when you really think about it.

You let your addiction convince your mind that things are true and then you ignore anything that states otherwise.

You must reprogram your thoughts to what the truth is in both cases.

Now some entertainment from Al....

I feel like these describe me since I quit smoking and have gained weight.

Have a great day friends.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
