You're right Rockstar... I just haven't been in a bar in yonks - I spent a lifetime in them when they were smokefest boozers - I forgot that there's "no Smoking" in all public places except outdoors...

Hey Rockstar! I don't want to sound like a ......but if you are smoking then you are not quit! If you want to learn how to quit than the first thing you have to do is, take a stand, make a stand, make a decision, make a committment to stop smoking forever! When people have a child they don't say, "Oh I hope I can look after it." It's a conscious decision, a no-brainer, one that you know you have to do, no matter what! Make one of 'those' conscious decisions and that's all you will ever have to do, is NOT smoke! "I am a non smoker from this moment forward, no matter what!" Make that decision and from that moment on, when someone offers them to you, or you get a craving, your answe will be, "I am a non smoker, I don't smoke now or ever, no matter what!" If you think about it, it really is that easy! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 355 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 8,875 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,745.25 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 46 [B]Hrs:[/B] 15 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 13

Washington has a NO smoking law for quite awhile now. Rootbeer or 7Up is just fine. You don't need to get looped before you sing or to be "COOL" Just be you. Natural.... people will like you for who you are. Respect your body and mind. When you are sober/clean it is fun to people watch .. I have a drink once in awhile... so I'm not lecturing you on this.. Just know you and your music will make it Hang in there. add me to your buddy list if you want. even though on different coasts we may be on at the same time..

Llama!! sometimes i need someone to tell me "how it is"...the bars aren't smokey, in ontario but everything else you said is "right on the money". and your not really a newbie your on to a deuce. and ive been pullin' for you too i'm the type of person who, does it wrong a few times... a big thing for me is to keep; not buying cigarettes and keep saying no to smoking. eventually "the rebel" side of me will, get that in my crowd the rebellious thing to do is not smoke. and then, i'll be allowed to drink again....so my newist hurdle is to figure out how to "not drink" in bars..'cause i need to go to "open mics" and "jam sessions" to find people who yould like to team up, or at best to play my songs.. so what do you do order a drink and watch it? or is it really okay to just have a root beer? in regards to "You were doing it" I am doing it. they say smoking is as addictive as herion. they tell people recovering from herion to prepare for relapses and work hard to continue to recover..FOREVER. this may take up to 18000 (1/3 the time i have smoked) days to start to be anything else than practicing nonsmoking. i still and celebrating all the cigarrettes i havent smoked. and yes llama next time i will make an infusion or use my bong. i did!! "howl at the moon". "think about your habit"!: is a part of my new years resoultion. thanks for the support bj day 11? keep going dont slip- it sucks im back to bawling to hall mark hi booling, sorry hear about your flopy manicure. tresa, its ALWAYS been about the hokeypokey kristilu, A lot of people love your your SEBCC forum. ~freebirds do it forever~! watch your thoughts, they become your words watch your words they become your actions watch your actions they become your habits watch your habits they become your character watch your character it determines your destiny.. -regina mkunde- [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/6/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 17 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 204 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $69.36 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 7 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30

Rockstar, Sorry if I sounded like a pompous old twit in my last post but you're one of the newbies that I've been rooting for since your beginning on the site... we're both newbies and I want to see you clear your body of all the poisons and so get into your music with Big Heart... Tell us how you're doing...

rockstar, Thanks for your honesty and know that we are not here to judge, only support! Get back in there and use coping mechanisms, avoid the situations that you can and be prepared for those that you can't avoid. You were doing it, so take it step by step and continue on! Go after your dream :) Josie, Health Educator

Hi, Rockstar... You have a great personality, girl, that IS your spiritual connection to the world - I remember telling myself when I was a 20 yr old in Dublin that I needed the booze and the smokes because it was a traditional Irish answer to psychiatry but 30 years later I accepted that those two things were killing me and i gave up the booze but I kept smoking until just a few weeks ago when my lungs were falling out and I couldn't breathe. So much for tradition and my weak macho mind! Look what it did to me?! Check your psychology on the "gotta be in smokey bars for the music career" and the "sharing act" and the picking up guys with cigarettes and the biggest barrier to stopping smoking, the smoking weed. Can't you make an infusion of it and get your THC that way? You have some real hard choices to make Rockstar - think about your habits!
