    Sounds like you (Plato) did what I did, you didn’t “quit”, you chose to stop doing it. I believe that, and self awareness (which you obviously have no problem with), are the only way to successfully be free of nicotine slavery. I’d wish you good luck, but you don’t need luck, so: congratulations on your choice.

    I took a break from the herbal meds I was severely physically addicted to a week and a half ago (7/7), it’s been intense, and not all positive so far. One good thing is I remembered some dreams. My body is achy though, there definitely is something to the pain relief aspect of God’s finest trees…

    I'm not out of the woods by any means. Speaking it aloud here helps me to affirm the decision in real life. One habit at a time. I'll continue my wine sipping at night. And mixing my own margaritas on the weekend. Reposada, agave. Nectar, and lime, salt the rim with Pink Himalayan Salt, shake, shake, shake, pour.....
    But, sick of being a hypocrite about smoking was the catalyst more than anything.

    Love that picture Nora. Safe travels!

    Numerology is not really my thing, I often get lost..
    But there sure are a lot of sevens involved in the crashed malesian aircraft today as predicted by Christine Lagarde (IMF):
    MH17 = letter 18 of alphabet + letter 8 of alphabet + 1 +7 = 18817 = 34 = 7
    Boeing 777
    Date: 17-7-2014 (2014 is also 7)

    what to make of it????

    False flag for war against Russia?

    Interestingly enough, I was approached by a self admitted Malaysian about 3 days back.

    (edit:thinking about it, 2 days back)

    Timing is everything and he had himself in just the right spot at the right time.

    His inquires were innocent sounding but ultimately wide and varied.

    After the first few minutes, he put his sunglasses back on.

    Probably understanding that he could not hide anything from me, unless he had his sunglasses on.

    I stared him straight in the eyes anyway.

    I think he understood that I could not be bull****ted.

    The information I gave him, is already well known. Perhaps they wanted to see it from my body language and eyes.

    I played the game and he went on his way.

    Also, my internet went out this morning.

    A truck hit a power line and that was knocked into the tower that handles my internet.

    Try buying cases of San Pelligrino glass bottled water.

    The 750ml size.

    Drink one of those every evening. Ice cold. Not in a glass, straight out of the bottle, with a fresh opening. Like that chug of (half) of the first beer. It becomes quite intoxicating all on it's own. Your body wants the fluid and reacts quite similar to it as it does the drink.

    Works quite well, IMO and IME. It can become quite the severe habit, all on it's own. But.... a 'not so bad' one. (My record was probably about 40 empty cases brought to the recycle center at the same time). (12 bottles, 750mL)

    This would be a psyche and physical hook replacement.



    Really is all that, and more. Once you get the hook of it...in your system, I think it would be..enough. The energy hook would be transferred to it. Same high, same kick, but then you'd be drinking a good healthy mineral water, instead.

    Not sure what strange threads you've been following Ulli, or have you been quaffing too much San Pellegrino?

    If we bought this mountain, then you would be my nomination for the Lady of the Lakes.

    Yes, charged is the right word...Can't remember the last time I had a power failure in my brain.
    ...
    Then again, power failures are not the ideal circumstance for a brain to be storing memory.

    My houseguests are forensics from the US.
    Among last nights anecdotes we were treated to one story which topped all my earlier repertoire of weird stories.

    While performing an autopsy he found a spark plug in one corpse's stomach, then motor oil further down the gut, then anti freeze, then two more spark plugs. Not a suicide, just total insanity brought on by addiction.
    That's what meths can do to someone's head.
