Never did 'smoke' cocaine. This is not a 'I quit smoking crack' thread, however, the basic principles are the same. If you are trying to quit smoking crack, I wish you the very best in your efforts. If I can offer you support in a manner that would help you quit, count me in. Nicotine is the MOST ADDICTIVE drug. It has not been the only drug I have been addicted to though.

PS
My motto is to live and let live, that's all.

Duly (sp?) noted digifan and thanks for the great advice and reminding me to be humble too. I don't think that what I am doing here is anywhere near self-hypnosis though.

I don't harbor any ill will towards anyone that does smoke. Afterall, I used to smoke and that would be hypocritical of me. All I am saying is that if you are trying to quit, don't give up! If you are not ready to quit, that is your prerogative too. And if you are happy being a smoker, enjoy it - just don't blow any in my direction, ok?

The real reason I started this thread was to give you guys a daily update on my efforts to remain smoke-free. I am no Mr. Ex-Smoker chest thumping arrogant fucktard. I know that its still early for me and that it all could come crashing down. I also know that each and everyone of you comes to this message board to participate in some capacity to either help those that ask for it, or to be helped or to just generally be a part of a community, right?

I started this thread to re-inforce my efforts through the people that I communicate with on a daily and weekly basis here at |ggandj. Claire (my counsellor @ CCS) told me to get positive re-inforcement from my peers. So peers, positively re-inforce.

Anyhow, I gotta go stretch because its time for that jog/run I have been yip-yapping about. I will go easy. I don't feel like having a stroke or heart attack today.
