    After 55 years of smoking ( mostly non-filtered Luckies), I quit cold turkey.
    There was no particular reason- this predated my medical issues- and no premeditation...one day I just stopped.
    It was puzzling and weird but sure saved a lot of money.

    These days (about a year and a half later), I rarely think about it and suffer no discernible cravings.
    Although I have noticed that I smoke in my dreams. I'll wake up and realize that my dream self was puffing away just like the old days. It's not a focal point, just something I'm doing.
    Which is odd.

    You know I do that a lot. Mine is from smoking weed, drinking and doing coke. It is like I was replaying my life all over again. Playing in bars and working on cars, chasing women.lol .. The good old days.

    Wow, good on you for quitting. And holy shit on the lung. I’m so glad to hear you’re doing better. Glad to see an update, been thinking of you.

    I checked back here a few days after posting last time & the place had crashed. Feeling like a bit of a jinx.

    Sorry to hear of your ills Clocker. Well done on quitting smoking, especially cold turkey. I've given up on the ciggies but I'm kinda ashamed to say I still smoke weed daily. I'm interested if you have any ideas for a pesco pollo vegetarian who has gone off cheese. Yeah, I've always been awkward eejit.

    Bo & I have now been married for over 4 years & haven't killed each other...as yet. It's scary that he already knows how he'd dispose of me, but I'm pretty sure I'll get him with a brick first. 😏

    Kev! You may not be the oldest member but you're definitely a legend 😊

    Did you just call me a leg-end?

    You know Bo?

    Gollee, we got some catching up to do...



    I've wondered about you, kiddo - everybody else, too.
