I read a book, i know crazy right?. But it was about holocaust survivors, and their experiences. Absolutely horrifying shit. Try to think of the most aweful thing you can imagine a human being doing to another, and some of this shit was worse. Witnessed by the closest family members. Just atrocious shit. Somehow these people found a way to move forward. If for no other reason, but to honor those that were killed.

I read so many of those about two years ago. I challenge anyone to read the books I read and not cry. Needless cruelty on levels I never imagined to the most innocent children.

I read stuff I won't repeat to anyone. I wish I could unread it.

A very tame example is the narrative in Winds of War of Berel Jastrow and how you're slowly but surely drawn to the final scene in the gas chamber. That writing was sheer genius. I felt like I was there. 6M human beings, man.

Didn't you have by-pass surgery before? You were still smoking after that?

Yeah you should give them up for good. Will be two years cigarette free for me in two months.

Hope you are doing better today.

I hear you, man. I’m a ridiculous smoker too. I had many long quit runs in my late 30s but never was really able to be strong/smart enough. I’m getting into the upper 40s now and can feel it’s impact these days.

I’ve quit many things bad for me in life and never looked back. But, this one has been so fucking hard to get and stay clear from. My father quit when I was 11. He told me the other year he still has to fight it off at points....he is going on 35 years quit this year.

Hoping you can give it the old kick now and get more out of life (and more life) without it :thumb:

Be 7 years in May. I had a slip or two early on, but now I have absolutely no cravings or desires. I smoke pot tho, so that may placate the oral fixation part.
 
You guys should quit tho. Unless yer on yer way out anyway...then, smoke em' if ya got em', I guess?:noidea:


When the world's ablaze and overrun with zombie's, I will smoke the fuck out of them bitches. Every quest from camp will be to find booze, drugs and cigarettes. lulz

I never found pot smoking and cig smoking went hand in hand like smokes and drinking do. Easy to stay smoking one thing but not the other.

Slips early on....did you get to that point where you’ve had no craving and haven’t thought about it in a while and crave pops you like a Tyson punch?

No, not really, I'd have to be completely fucking smashed to even consider it, and mine you, I drink plenty.

I'm around it plenty too. Spent 5 days on 60 miles of remote river, back in June with a buncha smokers, getting fucked up nightly, and it didn't bother me.

I had a double by=pass at 38. I told myself I was done, and now it almost feels like I never smoked. Like it's hard to picture it and weird to see in pictures.

Pretty sure itsa German thing.


Had a German acquaintance growing up that would mix hash with tobacco and it would get ya green. We would do it now and then with just buds, and I mean it...it would sit me down.


Been close to 30 years since I've done it.

I had first heart attack at 39. Had a stint put in and went about living
Then at 53 I had another heart attack and a quadruple bypass. :gaah:

The second one got my attention. I quit after that...
