Ridge Runner down but not out

Quitting the cigarettes will make a huge difference in your health.They damage the human body in so many different ways,not just the heart & lungs.Next month I'll have 9 years under my belt since I gave them up.Keeping the weight off has been the hardest problem, Food started tasting good again!but at least 1/2 hour of exercise each days really helps.
 
Ozone, a friend used to do reclaimation work after fires and floods. Forgot about that.. Your a genious Ferm. Fabreeze has taken away 90% of the smell. And GarageNC, no way to repeat the deal I got on this truck, she is a keeper.
Thanks again for all the replies and well wishes. Definitely feel fortunate to have a second chance. Crazy to repeat the cycle of destructive behavior in retrospect. I guess we all have our vice. Not too smart either..and you can't fix stupid. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want a cig. E-cig is carrying me through for the moment. Thanks again..

Man glad you made it through it bro!!!! Ive been trying to tell my dad this for years and he aint listening. Its not totally his fault, the man sleepeats. Thats right, sleepeats.....He'll sleepwalk to the fridge and down a gallon of milk, put the cap back on, stick it in the fridge and go back upstairs.

On a sidenote, FreshWave crystals do a great job of pullin smells out. It will clean a house of burnt popcorn in an hour or two. If you have an ACE Hardware close by, its SKU# 1370626. (Support local business, not box stores)

Also what do Marlboros taste like???? Im guessin the same way the smell??? Thats a lot of ciggies to eat!!!!

Lets see some of these "custom features" on said vehicle. :sly:

I set him up with a custom DSP5 switch. It's got a good econo tune, a nice tire fryer that's stock trans safe, good tow tune, and tow tune with a turbo brake(I have considered swapping from my LB7 to an LLY so I can add in a turbo brake to my BURB, it REALLY is nice to have). And if he decides he wants more, I can always set him up with a built trans and a lift pump. That would get him WAY past 400 HP to the wheels and up into piston cracking territory(about 550HP to the wheels, or 625 at the flywheel).
 
wow Vic, I've been away from the computer for a few days and you come up with this, good to hear you're doing OK. BTW i quit smoking cold turkey(2 packs a day) the day my first daughter was born. After I got thru the fist two days, i kept remembering how hard those first two days were, I didn't want to go thru that again, then after the first two weeks, I just kept remembering how hard those two weeks were, after two months, then two years. I still get cravings, about a year ago i bummed one from a friend(yeah, I was drinking), after about three draws, I put it out, i couldn't believe haw bad it tasted, then couldn't believe I used to like it. Once you get thru the first few days, its all down hill, its just in your mind from here.
 
Boy I take my eyes off the board for a bit and you just run right off the edge...well just about anyway...You coulda told the doc you wanted to use your phone-a-friend option and called me...

Drove yerself to the hospital for a stint...glad THAT worked out for ya, too...

I actually stay away from some old friends cuz they smoke and it makes me want one...bummed one from Rob this summer at the beach when he and I took REEL Deal down the ditch...when we had the restaurant open,I was back to about 1/2 pack a day...so all I can say is, thank goodness the restaurant went bust, cuz that's what I was doin' to the only pair of lungs I'll ever have...

Vic...I'm just so glad you survived your warning...and that you're taking the steps you know are the right ones...Yer right...you CAN'T fix stupid...problem w/that is, we all know Vic ain't stupid, so ya can't hide behind that...GOTCHA!!...That little girl you had w/you in Charleston loves you a lot...think of her future next time old Mr Ciggy comes a knockin'...

Are ya back to work yet?...
 
Yes sir, that is precisely why smoking is stupid in my case.. You know WITH THE MONEY i'LL SAVE, (fn CAP LOCK) I could disable cAP lOCK..
 
On my keyboards the Cap lock buttons are all pulled off!! I just hit them so much. I hate them and threw them all away even on my laptops@!@
 
Quit now. Just put them in the garbage and walk away.
I wasn't in my right mind about the cigs. I can't believe I smoked them and liked it. Not so much a craving now, just old habits are hard to completely forget. Wearing out my shirt pocket looking for them. LOL. First several days were a breeze, I was in the Hospital, downhill from here.. I'm at a week quit now. Trying to fix the eating too. 60 to 70 total grams of carbs per meal/ 3 times a day. No more double cheese burgers? That is damn depressing, just saying.
 
Damn...go away for a few days and look what happens.....Keep up the good attitude. Glad it all worked out for the best.....I think I have said this before but if you are going to have a problem you want it to be the heart....stints and by passes are like having your brakes done these days.
 
I quit smokin for a little while and found out it was much easier than I thought. Kinda like what you said, "we dont do that anymore". I had to psychoanalyze myself to figure it out but heres what I came up with...

I wake up in the middle of the night ocasionally to pee, I ocassionally get up to poop and regularly get up to get a glass of water. Why? Because my body tells me I NEED these things. Not ONCE have I got up for a cig. That told me right there it was a mental addiction and not physical like I let myself believe.

Sunflower seeds......they work!!!!
 
I've done SF seeds. They do work. I like BBQ flavor. They have worn my teeth down quite a bit over the years tho.
