I wasn't gonna mention this but...
Wednesday, October 2, 2002 by jarget | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well just thought I'd brag, since I've been feeling real good. I've been clean and sober since this past June 15, I know it's not that long but it's a start. Quit smoking too. I quit both cold turkey with no group help. I just got so tired of coughing and the hang overs and the stupid way I acted when I was drunk. I was 2 packs a day when I quit and drank about 3 times a week. I'm 42 years old and smoked for 18 years and got my first drunk when I was 14. Believe me, I tortured my body for 18 years and just decided that I don't want to die a drunk. I was diagnosed a diabetic type two in 1990 so all the smoking and drinking wasn't helping. Now I take care of myself and damn, I hope to live another 42 years. 
Ok that's all.
Ok that's all.

jarget: Sorry, what I meant to write was that I hope you live more than the extra 42 years you mentioned clean and sober. English is my second language. 
My best wishes for you! 
My best wishes for you!

Good to hear of your positive steps. I'm a doctor, and I'm supposed to tell patients "stop smoking" "stop drinking" "lose weight" blah blah blah. My feeling is that most people know they need to stop smoking/drinking and know when they're overweight; I should just offer encouragement and support, not lectures. You've made a good start. The diabetes will be your biggest hurdle, so see your doctor, take your meds, watch your diet, and get your eyes checked! I hate to sound like a doctor, but damn, that's what I am!
Best wishes.

Listen to werewolf jarget - everytime I started smoking again after 'successfully' quitting was because I decided it had been long enough, I proved to myself I could quit so I let myself have "just one". It doesn't work... that one cigarrette gets you back to the same place you were before you quit, instantly, even after a year.
