Hi Changing Feeling pretty good. I still get a buzz when I put the patch on in the morning.??
I had a few pop,s yesterday and when I do that I start listening to some old music that I downloaded to my computer,it brings back memorys of other time,s ??
I was just getting a little silly and wondered if anybody else remembered these great groups...
;p
Hi Kayla I hope you did,nt gamble all that money away that you saved from not smoking ;p
Glad to see your not smoking like I said before good days are just around the corner for you.. Bear
Hey Changing. Yes that was soda pop we just kinda gave it a little turbo boost :p
Ladybugg,& Sunshine Those are great numbers I,m guessing your well along in your recovery.It,s nice of you to stay on to help the rest of us thru this ordeal.
I hope nobody,s offended but this has to be the largest collection of addicts in the world all under one roof trying to recover.
Pretty awesome if you ask me. :)
I have a question that has been bothering me for some time.Perhaps it,s been covered in a previous post or one of the support specialist can help me out ???
This question of addiction seems to be a rather complex issue and even the medical profesion seem to differ in their opinion as to the root of the problem.
I love the support I get here but don,t realy feel that I,m getting to the root of my addiction.
I,ve been told once an addict always an addict if it,s not one thing like smoking there,s always another lurking just around the corner.
Is professional help next ??? I would like to here your views on this one..
Hey Changing There,s no short answer to this one.You sound like you,ve done some research as have I. But all that the research has done is bring up more questions than it answered.Am I physiologicaly predisposed,are there phsychological issues that need to be resolved.
Sometimes I wished somebody would give me one of those smarten up pills so I knew LOL :confuse:

Thanks for the tip Josie. But I,m afraid the reason for starting to smoke has long been forgotten rember I,m 68 and started this habit when I,was 16.
I have also had a problem with gambling on the horses this one cost me a job and several thousands of dollars but I loved the rush of picking a winner and cashing a ticket.
I don,t go very often anymore but every time I go I know it could be a potential problem.
Alcohol abuse and beleive it or not buying things that I realy don,t need have also gotten me in a lot of trouble.
So as you can see theirs a lot going on here that I would like to resolve once and forall....
