It was/is awfully hot here (now less). I was asking John to parcel some snow to me :sarc:

 

[marsmimar]

I hate Texas weather.



We go from one extreme to another this time of year. Near 100F today and near freezing by Tuesday morning. Our last good snowfall was January 1985. Nothing of any consequence since.

today i havent been smoking, it wasnt raining so i could have but i refrained.
when down town i could smell cigarettes at a hundred paces, funny how unpleasant the smell was.
and i could smell stale smoke on peoples clothes as they walked past,
interesting how my sense of smell is recovering and how i find the smell of cigarettes unpleasant now im a reformed character

If it wasn't raining you could have taken your virtual dog for a walk or even taken a photo of a Truro Bus! Funny you somehow miss him, don't you?

Tomorrow I will get my spray, I hope

 

[koolkat77]

Reminds me.. My brother was smoking while we were returning from our classes today. I couldn't stand beside him. I kept turning my face away if he stood near me. Lol.

Every time a smoker passes by me a natural weird disgusted expression is automatically on my face.

good for you arc, i find i dont really use it now unless im really craving a cig, but i force myself to wait and make sure im desperate, so on average i have 3 sprays per day.
i only manage this because im using patchs that release nicotine 24 hrs ,
i would get some patches too if i were you.

 

[Arc]

Tell me about those patches too?

 

[boohbah]

they start with three stages, for one month you use stage one which releases more nicotine over 24 hrs,
stage 2 after first month release a bit less nicotine and so on for the third month.
the idea is to wean your self from the nicotine in stages rather than go cold turkey.

previously i stopped for 6 months and used the patches for one week only.
i think i wil use them for longer this time.
the patches are good because i dont wake up feeling the need for nicotine as im already being supplied it, this breaks the habits and rituals of waking up and having a cig within the first five mins of the day.

slow process but it breaks the habits which add to the addiction.

 

[Arc]

Sounds a sound plan
Thanks a huge lot, Julian .... I am adding it to my "to do" list, too

 

[Joan Archer]

I can vouch for the patches as well Arc, it's how I stopped and it's been 7 years now since I smoked and I was a heavy smoker for over 50 years.

That's a sign of progress!

thanks, yeah makes me cringe a little thinking that others were recoiling at my ciggy clothes/hair stench.

If it's any consolation, I quit in 1985. But people still recoil when I pass by.
