Second anniversary
It is my second smoke-free anniversary. I can't take credit quite yet
because I was in medically-induced coma for five days and then had other discomforts that distracted my attention from nicotine withdrawal. Helluva way to quit, but it worked. I rejected the Chantrix that was thrust upon me quite strongly in hospital, because the potential side effects worried me even in my stressed sit. I was surprised when my cardiologist agreed upon later in-hospital consult, said "you don't need that" and endorsed my rejection of that hospital-enouraged course of treatment. We got that call right. That cardiologist read me five by nine. I kicked cold turkey, he somehow knew I could and would do that. Right on, Dr. Bankwala! They say the urge to smoke disappears after 12 years or so. I think I'd enjoy a smoke right now but I can't do that anymore if I care to live a while longer. Most heart attack survivors proclaim resolve to do what they must to survive longer, but surprisingly few retain that resolve for more than a few months. I'm still walkin' my 3 miles every day. I prefer walking outdoors whenever possible. It was possible today, though I did get rained on a bit. The spring rain smelled wonderful and I had me Gore-tex jacket over tee-shirt so I was comfy with light rain, light wind, temp 59. Being cold and wet purely beats the hell out of being dead. Mary isn't yet up to full speed but she's getting stronger every day. She's already out helping others. She's incorrigible. |

I still haven't quit but have settled into 8 to 10 a day for a long time now, down from 2 packs a day and most of those just burn-up in the ask tray. I was smoke-free for a few months but fell off the wagon during a high stress period. (I don't think there will ever be a low stress period, it's like trays at the cafeteria, the next one just pops up.) Walking IS the best! Your 3 miles is quite a walk, I wish my feet and legs would let me do that but they torture me for a long time after anything more than a 15-20 minute walk and my 15 year old three-legged dog can't go very long either. |

....
They say the urge to smoke disappears after 12 years or so. I think I'd enjoy a smoke right now but I can't do that anymore if I care to live a while longer. .... I can patently say this is not true. I'm an alcoholic for the smokes. Light one near me and its almost torture. I avoid bars etc. This time I'm smoke free for sixteen years. Last time I was smoke free six years. I hosted a last work day/bachelor party for a good employee. On the second six pack of beer, I bummed a smoke. Bought a pack when I went to town for more beer. And a carton the next day. Moral of the story. never light even one. P.S. catch a couple nice ones Saturday. Nothing will help Mary more than a little fresh walleye. Karl |

Congratulations. No one in my family smoked, but my father in law was
a heavy smoker (3 packs a day). He quite 20+ years ago, also due to a medical scare, and he has not had a cigarette since. i |

It's interesting how the smoking addiction doesn't affect everyone. Both my parents smoked like chimneys for years, yet I have never smoked cigarettes. I do smoke an occasional cigar, but at an average of 2-3 per year, that certainly isn't an addiction. |

I do smoke an occasional cigar, but at an average of 2-3 per year, that certainly isn't an addiction. Smoking is, in some way, a way to self medicate. Some people feel better from smoking and some do not. There is a genetic link to the "need" to smoke. Usually there is a correlation between parents smoking and their children smoking. However, it does not seem to be passed by example: adopted children's smoking habits do not correlate with smoking of their adoptive parents, but they do correlate with smoking of the biological parents. Almost everyone tries cigarettes (I did) but only some people go on and continue to smoke. i |

Mary isn't yet up to full speed but she's getting stronger every day. She's already out helping others. She's incorrigible. My dad quit smoking when my mom was pregnant with my oldest sibling (something about her quitting, then threatening violence...). He told me when I was in high school that when someone in the room was smoking he'd still have the urge to stand next to them and inhale their 2nd-hand smoke -- this was after 20 years. I smoked for just two years, and only occasionally at that, right out of high school and in college. That was almost 30 years ago and I still don't mind being in a room full of smokers _at all_. So if you're still wanting to smoke in 2020, don't cave in! When you first quit you have to constantly decide "no, I'm not going to start back up right now". I know it took me years (and the occasional coughing attack after taking a drag) to get past that. Good to hear that you and yours are doing well. -- Tim Wescott Control system and signal processing consulting www.wescottdesign.com |

Useta be the smell of smoke made me went one , now it makes me gag . And I can tell which cars have occupants who are smoking when I pass them on my bike ... and what they're smoking too . Followed a big RV down I-40 one day last fall , they must have had a dozen joints burning from the smell . LOL, I thought you were going to say you could tell a Marlboro from a Pall Mall. October will be 5 years for me as well. I couldn't be tempted with a cigarette today, but sometimes I dream of a good cigar. Then I wake up. Hmm, haven't thought about joints, maybe when I'm old and my eyesight begins to fail. Your fingers will be too stiff and hurt too much to roll a decent doobie by then . I recommend a pipe . Maybe I'll have some sweet young healthcare worker with soft fingers doing my bidding. |
