Smoking?

[masterchill]

Re: Smoking?

You have to really want to do it. I came to a point that it was not enjoyable for me any more and I quit cold turkey. Once you do you have to fill that time with something (pick up a hobby ,do the projects you been meaning to do) . You have to keep your mind occupied with something other than thinking about smoking. I would have to say I became more productive once I stopped. I also had a dart league that was in a bar that was a smoking inside bar and that also helped me beat it because I became use to being around it and turned me off even more because you really stink being in a place like that when you get home. Now I am not saying it was easy but its now been 8 years and I have no urges anymore or any will to smoke again. Good luck with this. Hope you are able to kick it.

Re: Smoking?

I stopped years ago. Didn't use any patches or gum but did use a lot of tooth picks and or plastic drink stirrers. Seemed to help a lot with keeping my hands & mouth busy. Putting them in my mouth & messing with them with my smoking hand. Plus if i got a bad urge to smoke being in a certain environment I would leave the place right away.
And 1 more thing i started trying to quit when I had a bad cold, I think the first few days were a little easier because of the coughing and hacking and throat already hurting. You really have to want to quit. And be prepared to really fight the urges.

My father was a lifelong smoker (He said he started at about five years old). He claimed quitting was EASY! He quit MANY times over the years.

Re: Smoking?

I got worried too about customers thinking I stunk. So what helped me quit was taking a new focus on my appearance. Nice clothes, better haircut and getting some nice cologne. Now, I interact with them more confidently and don't have to stay a few steps away.

Hello! I am happy that more and more people are becoming non-smokers! And yes, I agree with you, that much better to focus on our appearance than smoke and not care about ourselves. I wanted to look fresher and fell in love with taper fade haircuts, here https://glaminati.com/taper-fade-haircuts-women I got ideas of this style. Of course, I started to do makeup and bought new trendy clothes. Now I even forget about the time when I did not care about my health and beauty.

But her link had nothing to do with dogs, unless you are referring to the women(??) pictured. Looked more like bull dyke baits. Definite nothing I would like to be with.

We need some moderators.

Re: Smoking?

We need some moderators.

Well, what do we have to do to make it happen?

I don't want them at all but they seem to easily infiltrate in this forum so if forum is closed for bots and such then hopefully there will be less spamming.
As per moderators we need a few from long time ago... still this forum(CTN) is way better moderated than some others I participated.

Aneurysm has to make it happen.

The fact is that we current have 1 administrator and no moderators. 3 years ago Aneurysm posted

Adding some additional moderators is needed and is in the works but it's probably 90-120 days out, I have some back-end work to do before it can be properly implemented.

to the thread Adding forum moderators. Adding forum moderators? That was just under 4 months before he upgraded the system from http: to https: Within about 6 months after that was finished, the pandemic hit. My guess is that he had to start spending a lot time trying to keep his own business running and taking care of his family. According to his profile he works in New York City. He has found time intermittently to login and remove spam that I have reported in the past, at least twice in the last few months.

There shouldn't be real back end work necessary - he just has to select some users and to log in to the admin panel and configure the permissions/roles/groups. Should be less work compared to handle the spam-deletion of a two month timespam LOL
