Ask me anything!

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. How will you break your addiction to DU?

I kid! Congratulations!!!

[hellbound-liberal]

3. DU will be harder to break than either of the other two

That and simple carbs. I'm having a hard time quitting bread and pastries!

[Fire Walk With Me]

5. Rub your face into GDP and it will be easy to quit DU.

Rubbing your face into bread and pastries will not help. As well as rubbing your face into breasts and pasties.

14. you are young, nephew dingbat

ALMOST a decade younger than me.

Fortunately I compensate for my advanced age by remaining childish. Remember, you are only young once, but you can be immature forever!

8. Why March 15th?

any particular reason you picked that day to stop bad habits?

[hellbound-liberal]

10. I was going to quit drinking after one more St. Patrick's Day blowout but

since I had already made up my mind to quit, I didn't see any reason to continue drinking for two more days. I chose to quit smoking on the same day to provide a little more motivation to make it a special day. BTW, six months prior to giving up tobacco, I set the date in my mind and, every time I lit up, I repeated the date to prepare myself for the change.

Congratulations !

16. You are great for living well. Neither of those things are easy to do.

[hellbound-liberal]

17. Thanks, I still need to give up sugar though!

That seems to be the hardest thing to do.

[Generic Brad]

18. Do you still have the occasional craving?

I do with the smoking. But I prefer taking deep breaths in the morning.

[hellbound-liberal]

19. Yes, I crave cigarettes more than booze. Usually after I smell someone else light up.

It's true what they say though, the cravings become further and further apart the longer you go without them. I agree that the ability to take a deep breath when you want one is more important!

[Generic Brad]

20. You don't realize you even lost it until it comes back

I will never smoke again. I prefer breathing.
