And here's a thing Stuart - I hurt my back nearly 2 years ago and as a
result I found myself sedentary, very sedentary. At around the same time
they made this country and the bars and businesses, smoke free zones. Which
meant trips outdoors in the cold or rain to have a puff.
I'm a bit on the thin side so I don't do cold too well. So I was beginning
to put up a few ounces a week of weight. Then I stopped smoking and within
3 months had put up a stone, around my tummy and a small bit on my arse and
another wee bit around my face. Everyones reaction is 'You look great'
(since you gave up smoking)
Thing is I look the same as I always looked, just they all know I gave up
the smokes so therefore it must be the reason :-))
I encourage, plead and beg all of you to make the effort.
I suppose it is a bit like my drinking days, why did it take me so long to
find the rock bottom I needed to bring life to me. I often sit here on my
little pedestal (it's a shiny leather recliner that pivots every which
direction, the kids bought it for me when I first hurt my discs) and I try
to imagine if I was a late bloomer who brought his bottom up to meet his
expectations or vice versa.
We spent a few hours over the last few days with a chap who ended up with
rope burns on his neck, he couldn't even do that successfully. Is okayish,
my friend pulled massive strings and got him into the pschc ward. Bu it
will probably happen again,a nd the next time ??
His main problem in my books is that he is too smart for AA to work for
him.
We had only spoken on Friday about what is a rock bottom. For me it was my
darling beloved Duchess seeking to get me disbarred from my home. MY HOME,
how dare she-
For my friend it was waking up in jail where he'd popped a policeman on the
chin.
I never meant any of the damage I did as I drank.
But I knew always of the damage I was doing when I smoked. Insidious basket
of a shite thing this nicotene.
Cheers
Tommy

Hey, you tug at my heart. After 30-odd years of puffing, about 5 years ago I
gave quitting a go. Well, i don't smoke, but didn't exactly quit Just
switched to nicotine gum, which means that instead of having to make the
tortous journey to the back door in the bitter cold to get my hourly fix, I
can insert the injection in the buccal mucosa and enjoy nicotine all day
long. Now I don't smoke mind you but this constant nicotine infusion really
is a farce also

There is hope for you yet... Stuart.
Would you give the thing a bit of thought, put a date on it, make the
decision, and take the 5 ml patches. You no longer have an addiction, you
have a bad habit now. All you need is something to do to keep you occupied.
I take walks, and swim regularly, it's not exctly swimming it is a type of
water anaerobics, which are like water aerobics but with more gusto and
activity, (except swimming with the breast stroke).
Anyway of all the filthy habits that yanks have brought to this world,
chewing gum ranks right up there with drug dealing gun carrying yobboes.
Only mho :-))
Cheers

Stuart, let me tell ya about the time I dropped Tommy off at Ontario
Airport after he stayed with us. We were upstairs in the boarding area
with about 15 minutes to spare till his plane arrived and he tells me
"you don't have to wait and see me off Frank."
"Thats OK, I don't mind," sez I.
"No, really, he sez, don't worry bout me now, begone with ya, get on
home to Diane before yur dinner gets cold."
"You sure?"
"Sure I'm sure. What if the planes a little late or something?"
"Well Ok" sez I.
We shook hands and I wished him a safe flight and left. On the way out,
down near the exit to the traffic area I stopped for a couple of minutes
to go to the bathroom. When I finished and stepped outside into the
traffic area who do you think was standing there puffing away on his
"insidious" cig? LMAO, he couldn't have been too far behind me on the
way out.

Well you never know, she may have wanted seconds :-))
