- 5 hi GAD

hello boo !! - a pleasure to hear from you. sometimes a zephyr is all you need to take off and glide to the skies. thank you my friend. you guys blew a gale. i had a vertical take off - thanks to you - lol.

thank you darcy those were heartwarming words put beautifully together and they convey your sweet, caring emotions so strongly and fill me up with endless joy. what is amazing is that all you folks out here work tirelessly i notice for a cause you truly feel for. that is the magic that keeps this train moving. i am honored to share a seat with someone so special as you darcy - and i mean it. so thank you my lady for giving me the chance to get inspired from a hero that you are. thank you again and take good care - remember - you are very precious to so many of us out here. some may be shy to say it so i had to shout it out on their behalf as well.

thank you so much johhny5 i turn into the tough profile kid (you know which one - lol) whenever i am in doubt of a re-lapse. any crave would get beaten by this angry cute kiddo. thank you for all the strength and believe me that profile pic of yours inspired me more than a team of ten folks would. kiddo power - boom ! thank you for the kiddo.

hello GAD - so you finally write to me after an eternity. mind : is she ignoring me? soul : she is busy mind : but she can post a one liner, right ! soul : she is busy - unlike you she has a lot of patients to attend to mind : is she a nurse?? soul : yes - but in a very bigger sense. she heals the body, mind and soul together mind : wow, she sounds like a seer, a good sorceress - that is amazing soul : she is really all that and more. she is the godmother of our quit when it was a baby. she is the guardian angel mind : oh i see - that is why you call her GAD soul : yes - not just call her - i mean it too and so should you mind : agggggggh, (crying - i want a message from doreen, i want ne now, aaaagh) soul : stop crying - just scroll up - she just sent us one mind : NO- she sent me one - not to you. she sent it just for me soul : ok child - whatever - just be happy mind : mee- whoo, whee- doo.... (lol - quitting makes a guy go bonkers - anybody doing a scientific study will have tons of data supporting this claim in my quit and posts ) on a serious note - thank you so much for everything you did and for things you did but never told me about . ladies and gentlemen - please get ready to stand up, clap and salute someone who means so much to me and always will. A big shout out to my quit's Godmother and my Guardian angel this is the soulful doreensfree thank you GAD, you are so special - and you always will be.

thank you jillar , truth is i was just the face - you were a big part of the shadow brigade - the real power source a big shout out to the jillar - the shy - power generator that hides in the shadow. thank you for all the strength. you must be a joy - just to be around i am sure of - no, i know it to be a fact, i can feel it. i feel so joyful just replying to your message. thank you again.

i am just that one wild cowboy i guess. seriously i would have loved to follow the rules and quit - slow and steady. but the quit this way was funnier. lol . thank you for whispering as to what was around the bend by giving me the endless links - lol, and making sure i was prepared .

wow - i!!!! this is so special from the new family i made out here. that is one of the most touching things anyone has ever done for me - thank you from the bottom of my soul my good friend. i have no words or any way in which i can truly thank you guys. the applause is for us. this beautiful home and our family. a family that stands by each other. thank you so much - all blowing the gusts of winds beneath my wings. a beautiful and touching gift clearly reflects a beautiful soul. i am so proud to be a part of your beautiful life.

random update - i did cough out a bit of poison, lol. a light cough and that is all. why i am posting this insignificant thing is this - once i coughed out the poison - i feel a cool cool feeling in my throat. as if i had a icy mint. this happened ever since my quit =. when i cough out this poison i feel the throat turn cold, very cold on the inside and i can feel the air going in and out. today i coughed out after some few days. i think i may have logged my last cough out before today as well just logged it for record keeping, lol. maybe make an excel sheet with the data after 1 year of the quit.

l ol, yes so true i seem to simply love water now - not just to quench the thirst but the feel good factor i feel after i gulp down a few sips. never had much when i was on the poison. coke, coffee, never water. now i have quit all these and replaced all with just warm water and honey. even today and right now i feel like my mouth is parched dry. i must really seal a tap onto my mouth and connect a discharge hose at the other end, lol. my body must be working in overdrive mode and flushing the toxins out. the never ending dryness is the only side effect that stood out in my quit. nothing else really lasted long. maybe a week or so and i will be back to normal. let me see. rest is all is well and all you magicians out here - thank you again and take good care.

thank you sazerac for the inspirational post . next step is one month now. 5 opponents down and this next fight may last a while. 9 rounds of one month each. well- best is to go for a quick knockout like i did in the last 5. thank you to all my trainers out here. you turned a weakling into a fighter, lol.

tammy - you have a beautiful soul. i will not use words for once but post a soul bleeder check out the entire series . i think they are some 16 in all. just posting the mother video

nor does everybody quit that way. some do it cold turkey and some do it in a different way. it really does not matter how you do it as long as you do it and crawl out the tunnel and seal it forever. but what is a fact? and what do facts have to do with a quit? a quit is a personal voyage undertaken towards self liberation. lets look closer. a fact is the analysis of something that has been - an analysis based on the past. facts are models of future probability based on past. it is a fact that most short people can quit easy and feel lesser withdrawal symptom as compared to taller folks (fyr a tall person is a person who stands over 6 feet tall in this study based on cog of the navel and height above msl) now - does this mean that every short person will be able to quit easier as compared to a tall person? possible but not definitive does that mean no tall person can ever quit easily or less painfully than a short person - possible but not definitive so - what has the fact done for us here. it has just reflected the story or truth of what has happened so far based on the data we fed into the system. ok, but then - if facts cannot forecast correct or rightly then why or how to use it?. 1. a fact is not a forecaster that is definitive but is just a probability indicator. it is only true of the past up-to the moment it was declared. 2. for eg - if i were a tall man then - in this example i would be extra cautious in my quit and be mentally much more alert than if i were under 6 feet tall. - see, we used the fact to our advantage. similarly if were short i would pump myself up in times of doubt that - look man - the facts says it can be done easy for folks like me - so i should be home for sure - let me ride these bumps out. it is not facts but the interpretation of facts that matters. btw - the cog (center of gravity) of the navel and msl (mean sea level) have nothing to do with smoking the facts in this example are a lie and something i just made up to show you how easy it is to twist facts to your advantage. everybody cannot quit cold turkey - correct, so true how does everyone who quits do it then? ok, a few managed cold turkey too - all right ! how did they do it? how long did they take? how tough was it? how did they overcome the weakness and urges, them craves? these are the kind of things you must focus on - then decide if cold turkey is for you. if not repeat the same steps with folks who quit using gums if that does not appeal too then find folks who quit any other way but quit. as long as you feed nicotine into your system you remain enslaved, chained and an addict. (be it sticks/ gum/patch/whatever else) one day you will have to let go that pacifier eventually. if you want to do it slow - fine - do it slow but steady. but never take a step back. fact is - i quit cold turkey. fact - it was the easiest thing i ever did in all my life fact - i i smoked for 35 years with a passion. loved cigarettes, stood and defended them until the last day of my quit and fought folks that meant so much to me as they stated truths i knew so well. fact - i smoked 35 sticks on the last day of my quit too fat - i turned non-smoker in 24 hrs. i quit mentally after i crossed the impossible 24 hrs limit. come on fighter - facts are for folks in self doubt. a fighter has belief in thyself - self. that is the only thing that matters in the ring, in this fight, in every quit. every voice outside the ring can scream - you cannot quit. it does not matter. the only voice that should whisper inside you head is your own - i can quit, i will quit. Nothing else matters.

thank you so much.

quit inside your head - the body will follow. if you did it once you can do it again. but this time make it forever. you are quitting a habit - so do not go around replacing one habit with another. eat gum if you feel like it but never because you do not have any other choice. to make quitting smokes seem easy and small - give up something bigger. your mind will start to tackle that and you can quietly quit the smokes easily by the time your mind figures out it has been fooled. lol - play dirty harry. in my case i turned near vegan and fooled my mind and body, lol.

logging down aftermath as on day 12?? or so, not counting really. : craves - none logged in my conscious (off topic i know - but in the movie 'the skeleton key' there is this line that you can use to strengthen your quit - the movie is about 'hoodoo' - like 'voodoo' but the difference is this as stated in the movie is - ''hoodoo can only affect you if you believe in it''- i use that to the hilt, lol) physical discomfort - none that i can honestly find worth mentioning body is on a high in a sense after the quit - in an true elevated 'high'. i smell better, i breathe better, i feel better, i am better. fear of re-lapse: no worries on that front. too much at stake to do something foolish like re-lapse now. maybe in another world, another time, another life - i would have re-lapsed. not now, not ever, not for - forever...and a day. any significant physical changes: 1. feel less hungry post quit (used to keep munching between meals but post quit i have stopped that) eat meals on time and i eat well. just do not feel the need to keep munching. 2. feel unusually thirsty - drinking water qty consumed has increased by nearly 4/5 times a day as compared to pre-quit. 3. no negativity - during or after quit. quit has been painless and without any traces of any self doubt. no more do i even think in terms of holding or protecting the quit. a smoker who gave up smoking protects a quit. i am a non smoker - period. 4. no cough at all in the last 24 hrs and throat feels fine. nothing else for now.

-16 sweet sixteen (except for the sign) - lol.

to each his own. i fall in love easy. as far as i could tell there was no real discussion on religion as such. this was more of a basic conversation between two folks from groups that are apparently thought to be poles apart . but then this is the only video i have watched of these two to be honest. i fell in love with a symphonic metal band quite a long long time ago when i stumbled upon a song where they sing of quantum mechanic/physics in the song lyrics. (the young generation may be aware of this band). i stumbled upon both the videos in question through the you-tube algorithm by default i watched the video with an open mind, i enjoyed the video - it seemed quite positive to me and so i shared it in hope that someone else would find it interesting too. too bad that you saw it differently. have a good day and a strong quit.

Two great minds/souls - neuroscientist and author, David Eagleman, in conversation with Sadhguru as they discuss a variety of subjects, ranging from different parts of the mind, the concept of time, quantum mechanics, religion, and meditation. The conversation is laced with humor and incisive logic, and moves towards an interesting climax where David Eagleman acknowledges that science and mysticism meet at a certain point.

wow, thank you sazerac - for a soul bleeder - that was so nostalgic and so sweet. wakey-wakey time now and yes - time to turn that ignition on. i plan to start today for sure.

NOPE !!!!
