AM I BOXED IN?

Am I boxed in?

Or is my voice free?

Am I allowed to speak?

Or still wading in the Sea? 

I fail to understand, yet I pass at what's understood.

And the characters are so false n fake, it just ain't no good.

Right is wrong and wrong is right!

Light is dark and dar

A Father’s Gift of Time

Hello all. As a child of eight I remember being lost in a store and finding my dad by his cough. My dad tapered for eight years and had emphysema/COPD. His tapering and his quit gave us more time with him. My brother and I saw that it was not easy for him

Re-posting a repost of an old Classic: I want you to stop trying to quit*

This is a repost from what I wrote March 12, 2009.  It still applies today.

I want you to stop trying to quit.

Yes, I said that. Even more, I mean it.

I browse around here and see post after post from people saying that they are "trying Chantix" or giving th

Why you should quit vaping

Nocotine is a hard, fast addiction.  Just like any addiction, it destroys the dopamine centers in your brain.  Dopamine is the hormone of more; it always wants more: it’s never satisfied.  As a society, we are always looking for pleasure.  Instead of look

Feeling Supported a little project

I found there are places where people didn't get any replies. I know some of them are old posts. I feel bad that people didn't get any replies.  If they came here for help but they spoke and all they heard was an echo, maybe they left and never came back

I have been trying to quit as well as trying to get my twin brother to quit vaping. We have both been doing it on and off for three years now. I want him to quit for his own health as well as in support of me quitting. We both live at home with my parents and as you can imagine its hard for me to permanently quit when I know nicotine is present in the house (seeing, smelling, hearing it). I’ve tried explaining to him that it is near impossible for me to quit when he keeps bringing it in the house- I have noticed him hitting it a lot less recently- I hope the end is in sight for his vaping. Anyone else have a similar struggle?

This is my opening blog and BIG Hello to All in this community! Thanks to everyone here, including @G, @JonesCarpeDiem, @MotherGoose, @Thomas, etc. (you know who you are), that helped me quit smoking way back then. I was expecting quitting to be hard but it wasn't- maybe bc I was prepared by reading the Allen Carr book and following the guides by the Elders here to prepare! It worked and I'm SO happy! I left in 2017 for about 5 yearsIn case you were wondering, yes you can..jpg and soon started to help others quit on FB and we had an VERY successful group but I had decided it was time to leave and explore new groups and NEW people! You CAN Quit, all you need to do is Believe!  🙂
