Opah

Too good Paul, got the chills, too good !

Almost half my life I have spent smoking, sucking and Puffing an polluting my Body, kinda like being in prison I would Think ?

If it wasn't spelled different I could sue for infringment

Ya I had a really hard time excepting that, in fact I fought hard to keep that avenue open.

The quite when all fades and life just goes on is what got me last time, it was said and done, felt I was in control and then that one cigar. then two weks later, hell that was no problem then once a week for no reason at all but to smoke, I was screwed from that point. So this time there is not going to be quite, I will make my own noise, The echos of Opan will rebound off of these walls far and long. When my war is over and it is a scurmish here and there, I will be supporting other quiters in their plight and fight to be nicotine free. I figure to become a fixture here and in doing so never have to set foot in the quite of the Mans land.

Man 21 days, 3 weeks and headed on to one month, Man I am so glad I did not take a could of years to get smat and get back off of the Nicotine. This time with the edjucation, experiance and knowledge I am doing really well, Knowing what will I was basically going to go through and being able to perp for it was such a benefit. I have decided that this time I will not enter No mans Land, insted I will circumvent it, yes that is correct I am going to Navigate myself around No Mans Land. Yes Yes that will be the Trick, avoid it, Do not allow myself to enter. I have the tools and Mode of transpertation to accomplish this. Yes Yes I feel empowered.

Not sure about this new Diet ? Freash avacado's Tangerines, Apples, plums all day at work, got me worried about my image ? You know what they say ! you are what you eat ? Been use to eating Del taco Macho combo Burritos, wild Game meats, Man stuff

Eaing a perfectly ripened Avacado out of its skin with a fork at my desk ! Hummm Yes

The best we can do is keep Chuggen along !

Seems I am in good company for my quit: We are all traveling down the same road, Just behind, Just in front, most of us have been on this road before and know a bit about its twists and turns, Highs' lows and near or farther. So here this is to us !

Man I couldn't believe how cold it got this morning woke up to 60 degrees out side, I damn near had to wear a jacket, California Burrr 58 Degrees at work, had to put on my Hoodie !

OK Kenzie an Mona, great to have the two of you here. Lets board this train and mossy on down the line

Well Kenzie looks like you and I share the Same story, I started on my second quit after a 11 month quit and a 10 month Backside. Sucks I know, but the only plus in this is we know we can because we have, We know how because we have, we just need to make a few adjustments this time to protect us from (NO MANS LAND) !!! This is where we should have spent a large amount of our time Here on the Forum, We grew use to being special in the eyes of our loved ones and friends, we fed off of their happiness and enthusiasium about our Quit and then one Morning we woke up and it was quite, our halo had demmed, Our Entourage was gone no where to be seen, we were no one special. This time around Kenzie, We must aplaude our selfs, We must celebrate our achievements, We must be our own cheering section. By doing so We will never be in the Quite to hear the whispers of an adition, we will shout here on this forum our happiness and our successes and by doing so this forum will shout back. WeHave done this , we can do this, we will do this Kenzie !

The next couple of weeks are going to be Honey do weekends. the the 8th, 9th and 10th The wife and I will be up at the Refuge. It will be so nice, a little work to do but mostly just us Being sloths, waking up Late, eating breakfast at noon. Yes it will be nice

I have had a couple smoking dreams last week, Now last night i must say the real dreams started, These ar the dreams one can feel the smoke in the lungs and Taste the tabaco. This time I was not startled when I woke up, It was AHA I know you. I am starting to get lazy at times and then a dynamo when something aroses me, I have been able to contrl most of my emotions, especially the anger and irritability, Its the suden leak that gushes from my eyes that catch me by surprise and that is when I am ussually alone. I'll be in my truck in the drive way collecting my stuff and a song that brings the forth the flood. I wont try to stop it, I figure that it has been a long time since my eyes have been beluged with soft water. In a couple more weeks the trigger should be mostly disarmed and the cravings should be not much more than dreams. In this quite place is where I must be digalent, I need to arm my self with mental ammo to combat the soft low guesturing that it is OK now, the you proved you could walk away thoughts, the you can have one. Yes in this silence I will need to be prepaired.

The whole reason we are here is to QUIT, it doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter how many times ( hell I on my second quit and I did not use NRTs) what matters is we QUIT, that we find that forever QUIT. That is it, So praise those that are trying and lets not Judge the Means in which they try.

You would Think it would, but with Insurance it was 75 dollars, Smart, beautiful and Cheep Deffenintly the start of a deep rooted passion

OK not sure why bit a Blan morning today. I guess all the stimulous has started to where off, yes sir I was riding hight there for a week. My bigest challenge Yet has just emerged, it has slapped me around and confussed me, But I fought back ! At ojne point I thought i was really screwed but turned out it was a blessing in Descuise. Setting here staring at it so Handsum and made of Precous metal, it even talks to me and follows my commands. But just like the last one its going to work its way into my life, become almost indespincable and when I need it most it is going to abandon me and fail. it will leave me in sillence and without assistance. I dont know why it is, I guess a have a weakness for shinny PYTs, and once I get them I cover them up too afraid Ill scratch or dull them. I know it will happen sooner or Later the luster will wear off, and the afair will be over, it will become mondain nothing at all special, no one will care about it any more, not even Me. Yes it my new fasination and Facuation, its my Galaxy S7 Titainium Edge phone ! Yes to others she may be out dated, but to me she shines, her silky smouth case can easily slip thru your fingers, thus the need to hold on tight, and dress her apropriately. Just bought her a Cammo cover with velcro flap, belt clip and kick stand, yes she will still be styling even being covered up.

I love Boating stories don't you, Doreen, Boo you two just keep ejoying those wild Canoe Rides !

Now you did it, made me hungry again ! So much for that chilli cheese Burger I was saving for lunch.

I just inhaled two Chilli cheese Dogs !! And I liked it !

Celibrating with a Couple Wennersschnitzel Chilli cheese Dog, a beer would be nice but at work, but 5 hours from now !! The celibration is ON

All Righty ICE today the meat tomorrow, Did you know it takes aprox. 60 days before Wild Pork in ready to be eaten ? Sure set me back on my heels I was ready to be knawing on a Porko Burreito with green NM Chilli and all the fixens, I had to say NAPTM ! So as I review the process in my head it kinda spilled out onto the forun, I was told a long while back I had brain leakage, It is supose to Coagilate and seal someday. Aw back to the meat, Saturday Morning I put a 3 / 4 inch layer of ice in the ice chest, pull the first back of meat from the freezer ( Back straps and Tender lions), now these Meats are basically ready to be cure so they get washed and wrapped in cheese cloth and on to the Ice, then The Hinde quarters ( legs) several muscle groups ( Roasts ). Now all the 180 LBS of meat actually 150 or so, have no Bones or Silver and are in the ICE chest, add a layer of ICE and plain salt, layer of ice and plain salt until ice chest is full, place a sheet of plastic on top, close and Duct taped the lid shut. After a week you pull the plug and drain the water from the chest, check the ice level and add if needed, more salt, plastic and reseal. this goes on until the water flows clear. Now Each Chunk of meat is cut into Steaks, Chops, and other cuts, rolled in a dry rub tenderizing mix and Vacuum sealed. We are still not ready to feast on the beast, so for safety sakes, and all the fork lore, I will let it set in the Freezer another 20 days minimum. The facts are: Specifically, it assumes that if you freeze wild boar or some bear meat for 20 days at 5°F or lower the parasites will be rendered inert. ... The actual temperature that killsthe trichinella parasite is 137°F, which happens to be medium-rare. Interesting 137 not 160 degrees and freezing ? I for one will allways go more than necessary than just enough to ensure my food is safe.

Well 14 Days done, I am sted fast and full of commitment, you guys are the gravity of my quit world Each of you, all of you, a vital suport, This time around will be my forever quit. I have dedicated myself to my quit and to the assitance to others quits. Thank you one and all
