well here I am again just a little worse for the wear
I am in a good place in my life right now, I have a lot of positive reasons to stay quit this time, I have good support here and in the family, I have some quality reachable goals I am shooting for, they are long term that will have gradual progressive results. Same O Same O health ( weight, and condition ) I really need to be stretching more , getting limber and flexible just to darn stiff right now, I think I will stretch when I get home from work before I go to Bed, i am in progress of attempting not to Eat when I get Home at 11:30pm, but I am usually too wound up to sleep right away. My mom and I get to talking and next thing you Know I am making a couple grilled cheese sandwiches or something of the sort, So instead of cooking I could be stretching slow and easy, should help me sleep and not have the lower leg cramps. when I stretch in my sleep. Well it is a good start for me, this is not a one quit fits all synario and definitely not my first rodeo, been bucked off more than once.

well here I am again just a little worse for the wear
Yea it was a pretty putzy thing to do and I knew Better, but I wasn't going to let go along to far.. I was surprised this morning how the election could be a trigger for me, it was a hard trigger and it did take some serious mental discussion with myself and the drive to work is still there, not so bad except the truck still smells like the cigars. i need to clean it out and get some good deodorizer in it. It hasn't been a year more like 3 months of daily smoking, when it got to be more than a couple cigars a day I start prepping myself to quit again, started focusing on the negatives of smoking,

First full day of work done, had some triggers but sadly I ate my way thru them, knew that could happen so I did bring some comfort food in my lunch. need to beef up my vitamins, I could very easily sleep the first couple weeks away and I just might do just that if my energy drags down to badly..

Hey guys, screwed my head back on again and got it right, yes it has been back and forth, smoking for a weekend and then not for a month or two. But as we all know it came more and more often until there I was a cigar in hand most the time this time it has been a couple of months smoking pretty consistently. It started to not taste good, I started not feeling good after and finally I was throwing away 2 dollars of a 4 dollar cigar. so the Honeymoon and charm were gone. well today makes it day 4, and I have a full head of steam propelling me forward, I have my sugar free hard candies at hand for the triggers and a great mind set. So if you all still have a little room for Me I could use you help and encouragement, I really enjoyed my truck not smelling, being able to drive with the AC on and the windows up and the way I felt, I wasn't huffing and puffing when out chasing the Game around, my grandson and I are spending a bunch more time together and I really didn't like smoking around him. especially while we were having such great times, you see I didn't want him to associate these good / great times with smoking or the smell of my cigars, most people liked the aroma of them, kinda like a pipe. so I really wanted to impress on him that they were not good for me, him anyone and to do that I had to prove it to him. Now understand I am doing this for myself and I want to be the example, I want to spend many years with my family and grand children. Guess that is enough for the now, looking forward to hearing from you all.

Death of the Chimney
Back in the Day the chimney was an everyday necessity, bellowing smoke it warmed, cooked the dinners and provided romantic ambiance. Yes it was what we used. After years of being excepted without question, things started to change, slowly at first. Stoves and heaters were developed, that did not bellow smoke, Oil replaced wood, Gas replace oil and now electricity is replacing gas. With technology our awareness grew, we found more healthy and more environmentally friendly ways Without the smoke we live healthier lives, our skies are clearer, and our air is fresher and all with opened arms most ran to except this new knowledge. If we can except technology to stop smoking chimneys , I ask why is it so hard to stop being a smoke bellowing chimney, polluting our air and lungs, ruining our health and life’s of all around us ?

The moment of reckoning is close at hand
I made the interview, I called before the time I was to be there and they move my appointment back one hour. They were OK with my explanation I believe. Just wish this was done, A nerves Belly and this waiting are really wreaking havoc on my digestive system. The tension has been minimized by me mentally saying the serenity prayer in my head every time I start getting wound up about it. This to shall pass
