Thanks for sharing that. Second chances are good and I agree about the kicking nicotine. It has been one of my demons.

Now if you'd just lay off the Alprazolam!

Before I flew from Seattle to Milan, Italy, I asked an ER doc to write me a script for a couple mg's of a benzo as I'm an anxious flyer. He obliged and with a half mg of Xanax and a glass or 2 of wine on board, I was actually not against the pilot perhaps trying a barrel roll over Illinois or Indiana otw to Kennedy. It's the only way to fly.

I suspected!

That's a long flight! Did you air refuel or have a layover?

I quit in 91, cold Turkey. Of course that was after trying off and on for 10 years. :D

I gave it up around same time. Did it by leaving the first cigarette of the day later and later. Then, when it was afternoon, I knew I'd win. Finished the job with nicotine chewing gum which I gradually changed to a xylitol one.

Man, I'll say. My curiosity was piqued after reading the back-end of this thread so I went to see what Copenhagen snuff costs these days. I found some at a convenience store in Vancouver, Wa. going for $8.75 a can, holy smokeless! I remember paying 33 cents a can and being mad when it hopped up to 50 cents back when ol' Walt Garrison and Cale Yarborough were telling me it was "a safe alternative to smoking."

I smoked for a year or two in highschool. A pack of Marlboro was 35 cents. Woodrow Wilson HS in Dallas had an area in the center of the school with no roof called the smoking corner. Students were allowed to smoke there. I graduated in '72.

Drinking is probably the root of the cussin'.

What "antics".

This is The Topic of Judgement. We go through all the sins you pagans may have committed, one by one. Then Ukko and Odin will decide, who is good and who's not. Thor will hit sinners with Mjölnir and they go to Niflheim or Tuonela. Only brave and innocent ones like me end up in Valhalla.

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.
