Ren you can take control of your dream, you know this dream now very well and when it comes again remind yourself in the dream you don't smoke. When you go to bed close your eye and remember the smoking dream only this time when the cigarette comes in you mentally say Nope I don't smoke, try to relive the dream as many times before you fall asleep. you will be able to say NOPE I your Dream.

Good by me, next weekend I'll be at the Refuge, recycling 12 foot Diameter Aluminum Radar dishes and the weekend after that back to the Ranch for mostly Hunting. I would be nice to be able to head to the top meadows to hunt instead of the lower ones. Got my blood work started this morning in at 4:45am and out by 5am. love it when you don't stand in lines ! IN OUT and ON to the next topic. for arising at 3am I do feel pretty good, but one can not under estimate the adrenaline that a big ass needle being shoved into your arm can generate. Get some coffee and eats to keep motivated all should be well. Thank you Jet

Damn right back into sloth mode ? 1/2 an hour and I am out of here, get paid a hour to shop pick up parts and drive home. guess that is it for the day, No smoke alerts, no major craves, just call me MOLASSES

Well today is starting a little slower than yesterday, not bad getting stuff done welding our OP back together. Got up on time and had a little bit of Breakfast, Just not able to Eat much lately except crap and I am avoiding that, Trying anyways. Functioning at a higher level than before, mind is a bit clearer, got back on some of my vitamins but really need to get back on track. Hey Jet the New meds are the standard trio, Blood pressure, Cholesterol and sugar A1C, they usually stop the cholesterol after the first blood test. These 3 things I will pay attention to, too much can get all screwed up by any one of them. so may as well include them in my Body getting its self together and balanced process. I do want to say and I think we all have at one point in time how much you all are appreciated, the strength, the reassurance, the motivation you guys supply and priceless and a Blessing Thank you

Love it Thank you NOPE

The Phebs for me

So much fun, I can React to myself

Yea Jet gets it ! Have a conversation, OOOOPS I think I just had a reaction ? Nope Just GAS Sorry just missing the fun and comratory we had.

Man its so close to the end of another day for me, have some energy helped keep me busy and not on the forum all day. Hoping this is a start to a way of being for me, not just a passing phase. Guess we will see tomorrow pep and vinegar or mopey and needy. I really should have a some where in the middle of this but it just doesn't seem to work that way with me. well to all a good night and the best that life has to offer, you know you deserve it !

Thank you just a moment of time that I reacted by writing my reaction

Is reacted the New liked or can someone dislike on the Quit Train ? Getting to dislike reacted ! Don't react Comment keep the conversation going Yes I think I know reacted is a quick like which is Positive, I do love a good conversation or discussion with one to several individuals. To be able to Take a topic and turn it upside down and look at it from every angle, tom open it up and see what is really in side. OK I am Better

Sure the Hell beats the whizzing, coughing, stinking and paying thru the ass for cigarettes. Yes it is great !

Been fighting with this Fatigue and weakness, last couple days its been to home from work in the shower and in to bed. woke up very groggy this morning but once I got warmed up and to work this V8 was purring like a kitten, up and running even had some pep to my step. So as much as it hurts me I have taken a weekend off. no Ranch, no Refuge, no, no, no just the couple things I have at home to do and loving on the wife. Going to sleep in, roll over and sleep a little more. But I am still getting the blood work done and some more after I see my MD, too many things going on right now, new meds, out of Vitamins, vehicles Jacking up and not slowing down even thought I should or need to. The Positive is I'm not thinking about smoking, in fact that side of my mind has pretty much been very quiet, that long ass drive I was so worried about came in to be not a huge trial. Once when the roads were closed and I had to take it to the Back country dirt roads and over the hills but that died so very easily with a NOPE a smoke would not make a difference to myself. Just need to get back to being OPAH loving life and the Family

Well my friends another smoke free day is on its ends, I am feeling so damn tired today, my legs have been weak for a month or so. the wife says I am running to hard and not letting my self recover ? you know use to be my hunting trips the winding down was losing the stress not resting. shit 59 and I am taking naps. have no energy, and parts are not always ready at the call as they use to. Time to put in the work get the blood work done ! tomorrow my friends

Lin so sorry I wasn't there to welcome you, But I did have a cold one just for you, you just keep going girl

well well well seem such a simple question got overly complicated ! Jet if it can save you money why not, you are quit and been so way longer than a test can record nicotine. I say get some reward for your Quit ! And if you think it is a scam, tell them to blow it out the bark side and not contact you again. The past is the past, it can not be changed, lets leave it be, we are on a new day with new horizons Bless tomorrow it only a day away

to start to Grow again, physically and mentally To be mobile go places I once couldn't To be able to keep up and play with the grand kids and hopefully the great grand kids To lay back one day and vaguely remember that you were once a smokers so long ago. To wake up knowing it a better day as a non smoker To know you have friends that care for you and you care sight unseen

The wife and I visited Bill Last night he is in good spirits, today is his 70th birthday, he has decided to give the chemo a try, but really just wants to be home. Hopefully by Thursday or Friday. You know my Mother was diagnosed with Breast, thyroid and colon cancers all at the same time, she had a breast , thyroid and a good chuck of colon removed all at one surgery. That was 14 plus years ago and she is still with us. I have no dought that Bill will do the work necessary and be around a long time to come. But makes you think went it is so close to home, he said he had a feeling a while back something was wrong and avoided getting checked out ? so more blood work for me and I guess I'll check out if a low dose CT scan is cover under my insurance.

GOOD MORNING and here is to an NOPE day my friends

another day of the grind done, and all NOPE, going to see my Brother in Law in the hospital seems he has stage 3 cancer of something, I am assuming colon. they did pull a grape fruit sized tumor out of there. Super guy quit smoking about two months ago, Sad

One thing I did learn on this last trip, was when offered a cigar I paused a second or two before declining, but when offered a pitch of snuff or chew or what ever its called it was instant no thank you, no pause, no thinking about it. HUMMM both tobacco products, both high with nicotine, the difference is I never used chew. One day I hope to have the same quick No Thank You with the smokes, no thinking it over just a clear and resounding NO.

Back my Buds an Budets, The drive all 5 + hours of it went will, huge accident at the junction of the 61 and 64 James Dean hyway. ended up having to drive around thru the back side over hill and dale and thru the woods.
