To be fair: Unicorn Farts help. A lot. You just can't count on 'em coming 'round every time you need one. Easy Peasy Smell the rainbow

Every time Sarge wanted a smoke, he hit the basement treadmill for a mile. Takes your mind off it for the immediate 8 to 10 minutes, and kills the urge for the next 2 to 4 hours. There were 1800 [ish] miles logged that first year. ;) Easy Peasy

Sarge still carries around a 20-year-old expired military ID on this day, because on this day: free stuff. ;) Easy Peasy

You don't get it because you are still suffering under the delusion that you are not an addict. When you know that you are an addict, you know why this shit happens. It's baked right into the definition of being an addict. Easy Peasy

Reset that ticker. You. Fooked. Up. Easy Peasy

Also works quite well for us common, everyday,garden-variety narcissistic jackasses. Easy Peasy

Difficult is mostly imaginary. In the mind. Thoughts easily brushed aside in the face of bigger, more legit issues. It really is mind over matter. If you don't mind ... it don't matter. Easy Peasy

> The craving's are real! > The pain is real! > The mind-******* of 'just one' is REAL. >do not want any sugar-coated BS about >'how easy it is' It is as easy or as hard as you want to make it. You are in complete control. Easy Peasy

> how can I do this??? How can you not? We have to do this. Easy Peasy

Indeed Easy Peasy

Yes. Really. Unless you fully embrace that you are and will always be an addict, you will fail. You. Will. Fail. You seem to be taking this as a personal attack. Sarge assures you it is not. But it will happen. Easy Peasy

The Sarge merely points out fact. Any associated shame is of your own free fill. Sarge is not ashamed and shouts it to the world: I AM AN ADDICT. You are ashamed and in denial. You will remain a smoker. Enjoy that next cigarette, but when you do. remember what was said here. Remember what was said here. It's not as if you haven't been told again and again ... with the same damnedable outcome every damned time. It's time to wake the **** up, Tiffany Scew your misplaced shame. Do you want to live or not? Easy Peasy

It is, in fact, quite true. Not only are you an addict, but you are an addict in ridiculous and continual, long-term [and possibly terminal] denial. You can't control shit about your addiction, as evidenced by the past 3+ years of failure Get over it. Dig yourself out of denial...or fail again. You are an addict. It's not "merely semantics", it's a fact. Until you full-on, no doubt, no denial can acknowledge your addiction without difficulty and without "having a hard time"... until you can do this you will fail again. And you will continue to do so, again and again. This, The Sarge promises. Easy Peasy

It doesn't. Unless you smoke... and then it keeps going ... forever. Don't smoke ... and it goes away. Easy Peasy

A cigarette is never a need. Never. It is always and forever a want. All the way up until the moment you no longer want. Easy Peasy

All that bullshit goes away if you just hold out long enough. Gone away. Never to come back again. Just keep markin' time ... Easy Peasy

Those people are idiots. They could do it if they wanted to. They just wanted to smoke instead. Don't be like them. Easy Peasy

A successful quit starts with one day quit. A successful body builder starts with one day of moving heavy shit. See the similarirties? [A] Start. [2] One Day. [iii] Repeat ad infinitum. Easy Peasy

Quitting smoking takes ZERO time and precious little energy. You are, literally, doing nothing where you used to do something. You spend more time and more energy procuring and consuming cigarettes. Be honest: It's uncomfortable to quit and you don't want to be uncomfortable. Time and energy are lies you tell yourself to avoid the truth. We've told you for years now: you can't have a successful quit without brutal honesty and truth. Easy Peasy

Day two. Day one was The Great Unknown, but from the second day it was in the bag. Easy Peasy

Sarge loves you. And all runners. Easy Peasy

We never really feel it. We just keep on keeping on anyway. It's the only way. Easy Peasy

Sarge ... noodles around in Phrygian Dominant when he gets the time here and there. Easy Peasy

Is that a vintage Fender P Bass in your profile pic? Hard tellin'in the shadow but the headstock looks right. Easy Peasy
