Smoking.

I quit with the gum for about 5 months or so before I slipped. Now I just smoke occasionally when I'm real stressed out.

 

As a "student"...you must be smoking at least 2 packs a day right now!

 

Im doing fine thank you very much.

 

My congratulations to you sir. It is obvious that you realize that even after 40 years, it still has some type of pull on you. Otherwise you would not have posted your last sentence.

I have quit smoking numerous times, including for three years one time, and two years another time. . .

I don't smoke cigarettes, I smoke cigars. And the hell of it is, I really do ENJOY them. I don't think I will ever try to completely stop smoking again. But I am cutting back on the number of them.

For one thing, my lovely bride has recently been bothered by my cigar smoke. She is a cigarette smoker herself, so I am rather surprised by this. But I haven't smoked in the house for many years, and neither does she. Now, I no longer smoke around her at all.

It means if we are on a trip somewhere, that I will take an "extended" smoke break however. But whatever, I really don't want to do anything that makes her suffer.

I did tell her that she could feel free to hold her breath while I am smoking, but that sort of went over like a fart in church. Ah well, she knows my twisted sense of humor. . .

 

That was my problem with cigarettes. I really enjoy smoking, I always have. Yes, its bad for you but hell, my diets probably worse.

The only reason I even quit was prices. I was a pack-a-dayer and at almost $6 a pack, it was getting out of control.

 

Good deal bikegoon!
