Description
Nothing super spectacular. Just an pretty ordinary guy who has been smoking continously for 42 years. At times, up to five packs a day. Thanks to my devotion to cigarettes I am blessed with COPD, Asthma, Cronic sinusitus, and probabaly a host of other things I don't even know about yet. My goal here is real simple. I probably don't have a lot of years left on plant earth, but with what I do have left I want to spend enjoying working, relaxing and everthing else without being tied to, or having my life revolve around my next cigarette. I want my last breath to be deep, clear and refreshing. I work long days, relax by taking care of my animals and working on my place. But everything I do right now revolves around my cigarettes. The resent tax increase, I must admit is the final straw. I will have to give up some things that are important to me to be able to continue smoking and I concidered it but finally chose to quit smoking rather than quit enjoying what few little pleasures I have. I'll probably talk more about me personnally when I get comfortable with the idea of talking about me personally in a public forum, but suffice to say for now I made gave this decision a lot of thought, and came real close to choosing not to quit. The web site I was on just prior to this one was "roll your own. com". I came very close to spending $120.00 on a pound of cigarette tobacco .(Only 8.95 shipping - what a deal). I just could not do it. I will say that I am the sort that once a decision is made, that is it, there is no turning back. No one who knows me is going to believe that I would ever consider quiting, but then those who do know me are all amazed that I have also lost 70 lbs this year UPDATE UPDATE: JULY 24...The correct number here is 105#'s. YEEEHAA I'm lovinin' it. So I'm going to need a cheering section. I just figured it up...I have been smoking for approx. 1,324,512,000 seconds of my life. I'll be glad when I can say I haven't wanted a smoke for 60 minutes. Talk to me y'all
Now that I have been cigarette free for 100 days I need to confess something to all of you. Much as I hate to admit this...I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another mission accomplished. So, that makes 100 days with no smoke, loss of 102 pounds since Jan. 1 and am now off all my pain meds. People, listen, if I can do this so can you. I'm here for anyone who wants or needs support, ideas, or just wants to vent. Come on in and sit a spell. You might enjoy it.

MY LIFE'S STORY IN MUSIC...THIS IS WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT
REST IN PEACE I have a confession to make. I haven't been completely honest with all of you about my quit. Although, I haven't lied to anyone either. Just no one asked. I quit smoking on Easter Sunday morning for a reason. In the Christian faith, Easter is a celebration of new beginnings. Since that time I have carried an open pack of cigs in my shirt pocket. I did this on purpose based upon God's Word. "Resit the devil and he will flee from you." Unless you have an iron will, I do not recommend this. I had to do this in order to prove to myself that I could resit. And to prove to the devil that he has no power over me. I cannot tell you how many times I reached for that pack. How many times I pulled a cig out. But I never did light one up. During the last 10 days, I have not been tempted in any way to even reach for it. The last few days I have gone off and left them, being absent minded as I am. Now that I know I can resist the temptaton, yesterday Sunday morning, July 26, I went out to my pet cemetary where a number of my long time friends are burried (animals not people ~ although I know a few I would like to bury there) I dug a grave and burried that pack of cigs and the lighter. I put an RIP on it, titled "Cigarettes, a friend of 45 years". Then I said a prayer of thanks for all the help recieved from God to accomplish this seperation. I'm almost lonely ~ but I'll get over it. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
