Drinking And Smoking Updates


Guest Ami James

Recommended Posts

Guest A.S.

Since last time i posted that I needed help... Well... There's I go...

1. Quit smoking in a cold turkey and it is all good. I haven't touch since two days ago after I got done reading the website... It is a wake up call after trying to find out why I was having chest pain when I smoked.

2. I threw out all the alcohol drinks in the trash and never picked them up since the last time I post on here. I asked my friend to send me video through e-mail for me to review it again to be sure.... I hated the way I acted and made me think twice and a lot of "what if this happened or that happened?" and I thought to myself, "Throw them away and never drink again... which I do have some craving for it but no.. the way I acted on that video that my friends took of me... I was ashamed of myself and I threw away what i drank. I ain't going to look back.

3. I am fighting for my health because since I lost all of my hearing in my left ear and afraid for my hearing in my right ear and top of that... Chest pain... because I had been smoking and drinking since in my 25th b-day. Now I can say I am working for a better life...

I am doing it for my well being and Try to fight my urges that I have. With your support and my family's supports, I know I can't do it alone.... I am also working on quiting doing snus.... I am down on my last pace of snus... I have been dipping since I was 26 yrs old. I am trying... which it is hard... I am working on it hard as i can...

Thanks for your supports and comments.... A lot of them are making me think twice before too late...

I am really happy for you A.S. Keep it up. I've quit both so know what you are going through. Watch your alcohol withdrawal closely. Here is a link on the withdrawal symptoms when quitting alcohol. Watch the severe symptoms closely. If you start getting these symptoms you need to stop going cold turkey and seek a doctor, who will give you medication when you quit.

One suggestion for smoking is start chewing gum. It gets the nicotine taste out of your mouth.

Each day is a triumph and one day closer to breaking the chains of addiction. Please keep posting about your progress, it can be an inspiration to others who have to go through the same process.

Love Susan

Good for you A.S. I knew you could do it. You made it this far so don't give in now. Every day will get a little better, big guy.

See prayers sometimes really do get answered.

I'm so proud of you my friend.

Love and a big hug for you, keep it up the worst is over.

      Most likely.   Unfortunately this was expected.  I expect it will be the norm in any GOP controlled state that hasn't already done it.  So much effort expended against so few.  I certainly haven't seen my area being overrun by trans kids.   And yeah, I fully expect them to go after my HRT next. I think those that are railing against us are much more dangerous than some non-binary high school sophomore.

      Her name is Sunny and she is so much fun. But, as you said @KymmieL, it is a challenge with a new puppy. Thankfully our 13 year old Lab is taking the addition in stride and being supremely tolerant.

      It should be the league's business whether it allows trans women to play, not the park's.   (They seem to be inclusive - good on them)

      Sticking my neck out here, but that's what I see the RWNJ's doing all the time! They always need someone or something to "fight". Everything is a contest to them; there's always a battle to be had, an opponent to defeat, a dragon to slay, then another, and another.    *Sigh* if only they'd put their energy into working with people instead of against them.

      I think i became much more emotional overall.  Perhaps because use a topical E i haven't had the swings that some folks feel but i can laugh  and cry so much easier, sometimes over situations i would never have seen before.  Perhaps my age has something to do with it, but i am also much more peaceful and accepting of the storm life keeps presenting.   Hugs,   Charlize

      I think the interpretation of the question is always going to provide a wide array of answers. Do I have a rich inner life? Yes! Why? Good question!   Circumstances often dictate how we feel within ourselves. I don't have to deal with work anymore and we've been jus' cruzin ever since. I don't have to fix anything, literal or otherwise. My wife and I live a relatively simple life and we are true partners, but deep inside, I'm not answerable to anyone except myself. So, how's that going? Well, since I came out to myself, which happened before I stopped working, I have felt an inner glow that was never apparent before. It is permanent now and it sustains me. How? Effed if I know! All I know is that even if I have down days, and there certainly have been a few, my heart, mind and soul are still smiling. I think it comes from a realization that I am finally happy just to be me.

      I had to look this acronym up.  That certainly has never been part of the LGBTQ community!  Politicians simply attempt to use peoples disgust to create the hate or fear they can "fight" against to win support and power.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Congrats, @April Marie on your new fur kid. As the mom to a 1 yr old fur kid. I know what you are going through. LOL.   Back to work after a good weekend. I hope that work doesn't drag my good weekend down. However, I believe it is wishful thinking. I will do the best that I can, if that is not enough. They can jump in a fing lake.   I have another week until my therapist appointment. So I hope I can make it. it seems my depression is getting worse. Can it, is there something lower that major?  Especially when dealing with work. So, I know I have to get out of there. I have put in for the parts at the local GM. Probably, be like Ford. OH, well nothing ventured nothing gained.      Hope everyone has a good day. Hugs, Kymmie

      If what you mean by defemination  is that folks are doubting or refusing to believe your feminity i'm sure others here have felt that.  I know i have in the past.  It seems to be part of the continuous attempt by some to see us all quietly hiding in the closet.   I don't fit in there anymore.   Hugs,   Charlize
    • Mirrabooka
      Yay!!! 😀 What's her name?
    • Mirrabooka
      Yep, I can see that too, especially if satire goes wrong.  I can totally understand why the uneducated hoi polloi think that gender identity and sexual preference (and now, pedophilia) are one and the same, and it weaponizes their bigotry. I touched on this in another thread recently when I asked the question whether the LGBTQIA+ umbrella was actually too inclusive and should be split, in an attempt to stop this sort of nonsense. I don't know the answer; while I think it is important for non-cis and non-het folk to band together, it leaves us wide open to attack.

      Good morning, everyone!   Sorry I've been absent so much. I truly miss the interaction with you all.    We have a new yellow Lab female puppy in the house as of Saturday so it's a challenge to find time to be here as we get her settled into a schedule, work on housebreaking and training, etc.    So, I'll check in as I can...when I can get a few minutes as she sleeps.   She slept 6 hours last night so we're making progress and we've been attentive to her schedule so no accidents in the house as of now.   She's consistently following the Sit command already - the wonder of puppy treats.    Be safe!!
    • April Marie
      New puppy. New schedule for now.
    • KatieSC
      Yeah, it is a real treat trying to combat the effects of an unwanted male puberty, or unwanted female puberty. Who will supply these kids with funding when they try to transition as adults? Insurance companies do everything they can to weasel out of paying for facial surgery, voice/speech therapy/voice surgery, and electrolysis. Not to mention the pain we all go through with these procedures that we may not have to endure as much with proper care at an early age. I cringe at what the next trans generations are going to face. The governor and his ilk, are typical of these super-majority R led states. Unless there is a huge change in the next 6 months, I am fearful of where things are heading. I feel like more bad stuff will unfold. I do not think they are done crucifying us.

      Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm the nicest, kindest hearted person anyone would hang out with.
