I have been following this thread for some time and I am so proud of you guys that are trying to ''kick the weed''.. It is one of life's hardest habits to break. I know, I have been there and done that. I smoked for over fifty years. I stopped back in 95 I stopped because I had a heart attack. I picked them back up in 03 when my wife of 43 years died of a aneurysm.
In 04 I met Willa and we married in 06 and I kicked the habit again because she asked me to try. So far so good.
In reading some of your posts on this I am reminded of my dad and my uncle Kenneth. Dad stopped smoking but he insisted on keeping a pack of Camels on top of the ''reffer'' just in case he really wanted one sometime. The pack laid there for five years and mom finally threw it away. Uncle Kenneth decided to stop smoking down at the river one day. He was a two pack a day Pall Mall, unfiltered, smoker. He too carried a pack of ciggies until the tobacco simply fell out of them. He was like poppa, he said he kept them to remind him that he no longer needed them and just in case he really wanted one, he would have one to lite up
Here is the way I succeeded ..... I promised myself that I could have a ciggie Tomorrow and if the craving hit me hard I would promise myself that I could have a ciggie in one hour from now. The real trick is never put one in your mouth again. If you put it in your mouth. YOU WILL EVENTUALLY LIGHT IT UP..... Peppermint life savers worked well for me. The actual craving never goes away it just gets easier to handle and duller in your memory.
You guys can whip this smoking thing.
One note to the Marine guy.........
The Marine corps builds men ......................
the Navy recruits men..............lol..... and remember this Marine. My Navy needs the Marine Corps. Without them,,,,, who would guard our gangways and keep our chow lines straight? Who would bell hop for our Navy officers and guard our Main Gate to the base?
Just teasing Marine and I hope you know that...........
God bless our brave Marines and keep them safe
God bless all who serve this great nation
