Smoke or not to smoke? That is the question. I know this isn’t a bunch of art talk but, I wanted to share this with you all anyhow. I decided after my aunts passing that I need to give up the horribly addictive habit of smoking. I have tried a couple times before but, this time I’m damn determined. Man aunt never smoked a day in her life and cancer still found its way into her life. There’s enough nasty crap out there that can cause cancer that you don’t need to add smoking cigarettes to the list of toxins we breathe in everyday. So, I have decided to quit. I quit cold turkey. Even though I feel like jumping from a bridge, strangling annoying people, had a headache, and overall feel like crap….I know its for the best. Its only been 5days but, I can already tell a difference in my breathing and I feel pretty damn healthy. I forgot what it was like to just breathe oxygen through lungs and a nose not polluted with cigarette’s. Ill be at the Bike Show at Flux Gallery on Friday night for the celebration of BikeJaxs “NIGHT RIDE”. Ill post up more details…again….tomorrow. If ya see me there, Ill be with my wife and son so, they “encourage” me to say no to smoking. I always smoke at an art show though. This will be a test of will I suppose..LOL. Wish me luck!
.
try acupuncture to help with the stress and the cravings…it helps with my migraines and my carpal tunnel.
but also, good luck…it’s a good habit to quit.
Yeah, i figured its about time I do it. Acupuncture??? I think that would help becasue I would be so freaked out by the needles that I would forget about a damn cigarette. LOL! Thanks though…if all else fails Ill start sticking myself…or maybe see a profesional.
Just went to the Bike Art Show at Flux last night and then over to steamworks. Not to many folks smoking outside at Flux but..then i went to steamworks. I think most of the patrons were smoking. I did have a small craving but, it went away prety quick. I did good, no cigarettes, actualy the smell kinda made me feel crappy. So far so good! Today marks 1 week of me quitting. Im so used to finishing a painting and then going out to smoke. Its been hard working on a piece knowing im not gonna have a smoke break. Its just a bad habit…paint…smoke…..paint…..smoke…go to bed. Ive been chewing on pens instead. LOL. Hey, whatever works damn it!
