"A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance." --Hunter S. Thompson I remember before quitting thinking to myself: I'm in pretty good shape...for now. It's that last part that troubles me. I knew I was playing a sort of Russian Roulette with my health, but I let the addiction control me for years before quitting. Now's not a good time. I'll quit on Monday...screw that I'll quit in the middle of the week. Stuff happened, I'll quit this weekend. Forget that, I don't want to be miserable all weekend. I know...I'll quit on Monday. That hamster wheel just kept on spinning. Then I finally did it and now my only regret is not doing it much sooner. If you're still smoking or fell off the wagon please hear us out: you can quit. It does not require any superhuman strength or a particular skill set. With commitment and education you can set yourself free and the return on your investment will amaze you in time. Go forth and be free.

I'm here. I've just been busy the last couple of days. Doing the work of two people, literally. You have to love it when some incompetent oaf starts a project, half-asses it for a bit, screws everything up, then waits for others to clean up the mess he made. Then he whines: "everybody acts like this is my fault." Yeah, could be because it is your fault. If I'm going to do my job and the job of someone else, I'm thinking a salary increase is in order. End of rant.

NOPE!

Must have got my wires crossed. I thought we were on island time (insert wahine call here).

NOPE!

Did you get that thing I sent you?

NOPE!

I've never been to Kalahari, but I do consider myself a bushman.

NOPE!

Rest in peace Leon.

Congratulations on quitting and welcome Andrew. Deep breathing exercises will calm you down both mentally and physically. Movement of any sort, be it a simple walk or something more strenuous, is also a means of dealing with withdrawal. The actual physical withdrawal symptoms only last for a few minutes at most. The psychological aspects of quitting is usually where the real challenge is. Take some time and read the articles posted here and watch some of the Joel Spitzer videos available here. Education about nicotine addiction will give you the tools you need going forward. You are doing one of the best things for yourself that you will ever do. Stay positive and enjoy the ride.

LXVIII ...and the next number up is 69.
