Desert Fox (OP) User ID: 8786935 United States 03/01/2013 02:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had been having 3-4 cigarettes a day but quit smoking yesterday. I have quit smoking before in my past and usually do not struggle with it much in terms of withdrawal or physical discomfort. I know 3-4 cigs isn't much compared to what some people smoke. Quoting: ANHEDONIC This is a good/positive thread for people to find support for kicking this unhealthy habit. Kudos to all who have quit or are working on doing so. Good to have you aboard our ship of quitters. We, all of us, are very thankful for the success this thread has enjoyed. Literally, lives are being changed for the better. I have spent my entire life really not having much impact on humanity until now. This thread is my redemption, so to speak. Help us help and encourage other to better their lives, by returning her to lend support. DF :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

I have been a regular smoker for many years now but never in excess, maybe a bowl a day at most. I have seen some other discussions on this on GLP and observed people reporting increased energy and more vivid dreams (as well as a greater ability to recall their dreams). Noticed anything in your 12 days of cannabis sobriety? |

Noticed anything in your 12 days of cannabis sobriety? I have always remembered all my dreams every night (I'm one of those people) Lack of motivation I'm always bored Diarhea Sweaty hands and feet little to no appetite dehydration anxiety to be honest..... it fucking sucks when I was still puffing I barely thought about drinking.... now that I dont puff I think about drinking alot more...... starting smoking again has crossed my mind a dozen times.... I just keep telling myself "you can do this" and it eventually goes away.... when I quit drinking I also started working out.....I bought an X-Factor (one of those things you hook up to a door) and whenever I think about fucking up I just do some reps to take my mind off of the bull shit... I will smoke herb again, I'm sure.....but the breaks I'm taking in between sessions are getting longer and longer..... So eventually (in theory) I will quit within time.... when I'm ready, I guess...just like I did with Beer and Cigarettes.... |

Chuck Norris would not approve of you using an X-Factor and not supporting his Total Home Gym! I remember reading a post of yours the other night and seeing you using a Chuck Norris smiley as well as your Chuck Norris avatar. I thought for a minute how funny it would be if you were actually Chuck Norris and just so enfatuated with yourself that you used your own photo as your avatar as well as smileys of your own likeness, haha....
