smoking


I think I'm going to stop smoking, it's just not the same without drugs. Guess in the way some only smoke when they drink, I liked to smoke when I was on something. Now it just makes me feel more nauseaous(don't think that's spelled right)

So true what Dalin said... First Things First... One At A Time...


My experience has been such that I strongly believe that I wouldn't be able to quit doing something unless it has given me unbearable pain and I have picked up what I need to, from that habit or addiction... Only when I'm beaten do I become willing... And as far as my smoking is concerned, I have never seriously thought about quitting it, except for once when I made an online Nicotine Anonymous meeting and had a chat with one of the recovering Nicotine Addict there... But after that, maybe after a couple of days of contemplation of Nicotine Stop, I gave it up... and continue to smoke... However, my wife has stopped, now she is over 3 months SMOBER!!!

I gained alot of weight the first year I was sober (70 pounds) I was emaciated from vomitting all the time. Anyhow I just ate ate ate ate,,, Marie Calender pies sometimes 2 a week.


Finally after a few years I got up to almost 300 pounds LOL and I said THATS IT no more weight and I got down to 280 and stayed there for awhile. Just recently I tried a different diet and got down to 265 it was Hard and I did'nt keep at it for long you can only eat so many salads a day and drink so many protein shakes .

I have an eating disorder also i'm addicted to CARBS but I just try to fight it.

I gag on my first smoke in the morning thats the body reflexing to something it does not like, I know it's bad but first things first like the guys are saying Adriana.

ok-I won't worry about the smoking yet!


I have gained 40 pounds over the last couple of years, compulsive eating is another of my pasttimes. I starved myself on and off  forever , and if i wasn't doing that I was making myself throw up....so I am trying to NOT obsess over my weight, not right now. I haven't felt like eating this past week, think I've lost a few pounds, but as soon as I feel better i am going to start exercising (for my weight and to relieve stress)


I saw your pic v, in one of the old posts (fishing) you look good

There is a recovery slogan in Nicotine Anonymous that goes "Weight Can Wait"...


So, probably I can say in my recovery in NA something like "Nicotine Can Wait"...
