Yep. Buglar
I quit 3 years ago. Best fuccing thing i ever did for myself and kids.I don't miss that stinking habit at all. Started at 12 and quit for good at 42. 3 yrs after quitting I had two heart attacks, 5 stents, bypass surgery, and COPD. 2012 was a rough year.
Getting old is tough enough without the baggage tobacco brings a long. If you smoke...STOP!
Pretty hard on jaywalkers in Texas, ain't they?That's what I smoked in prison. I think it was Buglar. That was 40yrs ago.
I miss it daily, and it's 10 years since I quit. I still smoke in my dreams. I still find myself breathing in deep when I pass someone that's got one lit.I don't miss that stinking habit at all.

I've made it 20yrs with no cigs. I do love a nice cigar once in a blue Moon. I used to have a pretty cool collection of pipe tobacco, store bought and homemade. Rolled my own cigars and cigs. Also made chew.Pretty hard on jaywalkers in Texas, ain't they?

What gets me is I got lung cancer seven years after I'd quit. Shoulda kept right on puffing away.

I had quit cigarettes for a few years after tuning to my pipes. Our illustrious governor chose to ban smoking in bars, so I went back to cigarettes. I used to get people moving from the far end of the bar just to set next to me and enjoy the smell. I smoked nothing but B-23 Consolidated cherry tobacco. Tasted nice, smelled nice. A cigarette is like a quickie, while a pipe is like an entire saturday night love making session. Still have a dozen or more Dunhill pipes, some of which were quite pricey. Probably should start selling 'em off.I've made it 20yrs with no cigs. I do love a nice cigar once in a blue Moon. I used to have a pretty cool collection of pipe tobacco, store bought and homemade.

I miss the pipe. I made a lot of tobacco blend presses that cured up really nice.

I still have jars of tobacco and whole leaf stored. I had a smell of that black horse I pressed about 4yrs ago. Wow, I may have to pack a bowl and head outside later. I kinda miss playing around with homemade blends from whole leaf presses.I had quit cigarettes for a few years after tuning to my pipes.

Tobacco takes no prisoners. Our free will choices kill us. Considering the generation we grew up in it's a wonder we're still alive..lol.Haven't touched tobacco since my open heart surgery in 2013.
Watched my Mom die a horrible death because of lung cancer. Just watched my sister who is 3 yrs younger than me die of lung cancer a few months ago.
I hate this fking cigarettes.
You mean where the Flintstones were hawking Winstons?Tobacco takes no prisoners. Our free will choices kill us. Considering the generation we grew up in it's a wonder we're still alive..lol.
AMEN! If you took your entire life, it wouldn't make an atom on a single grain of sand compared to how long this old rock's been spinnin'.If you can get up in the morning ,jump out of bed and still walk normally erect, You are way ahead of many others
Enjoy your life while you can, Stop dwelling on what the media tells you is right and wrong and ENJOY LIFE.
It does not last long as the ride looks.
Hi Greenscreen. I’m sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. I deal with Bipolar disorder which is just a fancy name for manic depression. I’m either manic and feeling good (and sometimes too good where I’m omnipotent) and other times I’m deeply depressed. I’m also experiencing anhedonia as I type so I’ve lost all interest in outside hobbies. For me, I try to live in the moment and I minimize stress as much as possible. Regardless of how I feel, I try to shower and shave daily. I try to get 30 minutes of sunshine daily too by walking at least a mile outside. On cloudy days, I use a daylight lamp for 30 minutes to help my mood. The rest of the time my advice is to be patient and simply wait for the mood to change because they always do.So I am not really sure if this is a good place for this but I need some helpful advice.
I have been down in the dumps for quite awhile now. Two years ago I kicked opiates and a year n a half ago I kicked alcohol and just use the green these days.
Everything should be good for me these days. I live with my brother and I don't have a lot of expenses, I can save a little bit of money..I bought myself a reliable car a year ago, and I'm the overnight manager at my local Kroger.
Problem is I am still incredibly depressed. I don't really talk to anyone anymore, I barely leave my house. It's hard to get myself to do the few basic things I have too like going to the grocery store, going to doctors appointments, keeping my meds filled which brings me to my next point.
I have been completely honest with my doctor, I tell her how I feel. I tell her the problems I still have, I take my meds as proscribed and I have been in and out of therapy, rehabs and hospitals the last 10 years. I have lost count how many times I've been locked in a psyche ward. Been to rehab 3 times and it didn't work till I decided I was done with it.
I'm diagnosed schizoeffective disorder and I really don't feel much of anything anymore. One the worse symptoms of schizoeffective disorder is anadonia. Which I am struggling with. I came from a broken home and I've lost pretty much anyone I've ever cared about. These days it seems like no matter what I do I can barely get myself to take care of my basic needs. Im miserable. I barely talk anymore because I just don't see the point. My isolation is really bad.
Being on this forum is the most interaction I've had with the world in probably a year. The plant has become the only thing I look forward to. I think it's been good for me. I feel like there's so much in my life to try and fix that is just too overwhelming. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I guess I'm posting this to try and make some friends and just put into words some the things I'm struggling with vs just keeping it in my head. If you read this far I appreciate it, I hate being so negative I just don't know what to do anymore
