After taking a well-needed break from posting to get over my withdrawl from smoking (horrible ordeal), I am throwing my hat back in the ring and going to start contributing again.

I have always been here looking around and such and by the looks of things, some of you guys need some help getting your issues resolved.

The slate has been cleaned and I sincerely apologise to all that I have alienated, bitched at, or was unfair too. A new leaf has been turned and has been turned over forever.

Chemical dependency is a real bitch, I really hope none of you guys start smoking, this habit was the hardest thing I have had to deal with in my life.

Again, please understand guys, I am past the worst withdrawl symptoms I have ever had to deal with.

Forget the past, let's help in the future.

Hope you guys accept me back, I am and was only here to help you.

And please, if you want to lecture, go to college, I don't need it.

Congrats on kicking the smoking addiction. And to those who say its not an addiction...you have no idea. I know what you have been going through as I've had to quit myself and its no picnic. And as one of the people who has greatly benefited from your knowledge... Welcome Back.

Hey, thanks, I had no control over myself.

Everything from an itch on my toe to a shower pissed me off. I couldn't believe it, just 100% anxiety.

All is good now, and ready to get back to help, regardless of title.

Believe me, they already are.

One thing I found out, you have to cut your caffiene intake back to half of what you were drinking when smoking. Guess smoking reduces the affects of caffeine by 50% hence you drink twice as much.

Also, this could really explain how some people like me got so jittery.

I also have kicked the habit and know what you are going through. How long have you been off the smokes? Don't go back now what ever you do. Welcome back!

Been close to two months now. The first month is the bitch and the withdrawl symptoms hit their peak for me just after my birthday on the 24th of September.

And oh helll no I will never be going back to smoking, I can't even have one seeing that is what started me back up last time.

One smoke at a poker party and everything was back to square one last time.

Welcome back.

I'd turn over a new leaf too, but I don't even have any idea where my old leaf went. Nyuk yuk yuk.

Just a personal note , 3+ plus years ago I gave up smoking for the second time (restarted 20 years ago when I moved from NY to WI).
I've smoked for over 30 years- quit cold turkey.

With the money I used to spend on smoking, I took out a loan and bought myself a '85 Corvette, to date the best investment I"ve made
(healthwise and hobbywise). Paid off the loan 3 months ago, now I'm thinking about what to spend the savings on next (engine overhaul probably). I've spent over $9,500 USD on the car the past 3 years including the purchase price, all money that would have gone "up in smoke" so to say.
So, good luck to you.

I won't be able to buy a corvette, but maybe a corvette engine for the Blazer, what do you think?
