Stubbed Out

Posted on April 8, 2010 by admin

After fighting with that damned addiction for over twenty years, I’m pleased to say that it’s now been one full year since any nicotine has entered my body through tobacco products.  I may have been exposed to nicotine from other places (notably I believe carrots contain trace amounts) but otherwise . . .

I’m a non-smoker, bitches!

Thank you, thank you.  It’s been a pain in the ass, but I managed to quit.  And while I occasionally miss a really good cigar, it just isn’t worth it to me.

Not any more.

Go me.

      Thanks, Kenny. Amazing that when you start having a few successes in life, the desire to prolong your life grows even stronger.

      Now if I can just lose this damned weight!
