Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

It's not my time to quit yet. Don't want it bad enough I guess.

I know exactly how you feel. I just finally got tired of it. Granted, I still smoke occasionally and I dip in place of it. I'm still addicted to tobacco and tbh I haven't noticed any huge benefit from it as far as feeling better or improved cardiovascular capacity.

I used to smoke on the regular and quit for a few months, my observation was the same.
The expected benefits just didn't happen.
 
It's hard to quit or start something when the benefit isn't recognized.

I realize the benefit. I jus enjoy the act of smoking and have something of an oral fixation bc my mouth is always working whether its talking, smoking, eating, chewing gum, etc.

Not a fan of dip at all. Ill stick to my cowboy killers and 'Ports or the hookah.

I was actually really disappointed. Personally I didn't quit for the health benefits, but I did think it would be a plus. When you look at those time lines from ACS the time it takes to really notice a difference is ridiculous. By the time I get cancer there will be better ways to combat it anyways LOL. What a great outlook on life.

My philosophy is that we're here on this planet for a finite amount of time, may as well enjoy your stay.

Besides, with all the garbage they're putting into consumer products and food we're all going to die of cancer anyway.

I'm the same way, always have to have something in my mouth hahaha.

I remember reading a long time ago when I was looking for ideas on how to quit that it's actually a visual addiction as well. The article said something about one of your eyes being attached to emotion, so deeply that if you were to cover whichever eye it was you could make decisions without the emotional factor, or if you were to cover the eye while smoking it would help break the habit. I don't recall all of what it said and which eye it was, but it was interesting nonetheless.
 
Cap are you still on your no caffeine kick?

Somewhat. I still have caffeine in my PWOs and the occasional energy drink, I've just cut out my morning coffee. I will say I feel like I have more stable energy throughout the day. I don't have the after lunch crash... but I'm just low energy in general.
 
I, like you guys, simply enjoy the act of smoking.
I find it very relaxing.

A nice cigar from time to time is a habit I don't see myself ever giving up.

Aren't you working out in the mornings these days or was that just a one time thing?

How does that affect your workout?

That's how I try to look at it. No one should fear death, or anything for that matter. Might as well do whatever the fuck you want right?

Bingo.

I never understood the irrational fear of death.
It is one of the only inevitability in this world, why spend your life fighting it?
Learn it, understand it and embrace it. I find comfort in it, the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel.
Nothing in the day-to-day matters much if it's all going to be wiped away when we finally break the chains and become free.

Why people spend their entire lives frittering away trying to prevent it is unfathomable.
They toil away working faster and harder to produce nothing of any value.
With the amount of effort they put into preserving an aging pile of meat they could be out enjoying life.

Exactly. It's not anything other than I like having something in my hand, putting it in my mouth, sucking it, and then blowing out what it produces.

I felt the same way about smoking pot....

I agree with all of that. Unfortunately it's much easier to have a philosophy than to live it. If I could truly believe in that ideology, I wouldn't have social anxiety, I wouldn't be afraid of heights, I wouldn't care about my outward appearance to the world, etc etc etc etc etc etc. We're only human.
 
I made you a present!

I'm a little bored between meetings :p
Okayyyy, I'll change it for now. :p
.. AND on a completely different topic, not that die repair is not interesting...

All I'm going to say is my wife better put out like a champion porn star from now on; I just just dropped $3800, (that's with a $1200 sale reduction), on a new bed..
Damn! I think I spent like 800 on my memory foam mattress that's guaranteed for like 20 years. Soooooo nice. Time to invest in some femina 15 for the missus eh? ;)

I know, I need to... there's actually one that's about a mile closer to my house than my gym but it's like $80/month with a two year contract?! :eek: That's a fucking cellphone bill! I always see cute chicks when I drive by there though, and it has a reputation of being the "meat market" gym... well actually, they all have that reputation. There's like 5-6 of these gyms in my city. They've pretty much taken over Northern CA.
Damn, no planet fitness? It's like 20 bucks a month without a contract and free tanning/massage. I'd at least do that if I was trying to be a poon hound. :D

Is NAC known to cause gas?
I havn't eaten anything yet today besides the NAC, my gut has blown up like a balloon and I can't stop farting!
It is a strong antioxidant, so I can see if you have some serious cleaning to do, it could cause that. NOTHING like the old colon cleanses though. ;)


IMAGE SAVED. :spin:

Looks like I need to invest in my favorite hobby!

Actually that makes sense considering I don't eat any fiber.
