Congrats on your continued progress. Too bad about the pool situation. You could have gathered them all together to chat about health but I guess you didn't think of that.

Thanks mommysunshine. Ozzie, buffalo wings are a popular american junk food made by deep frying small chicken winks and then coating them in what is called buffalo sauce (hot sauce mixed with butter) The term buffalo comes from where they were invented Buffalo New York

Ozzie, a couple more things: Buffalo wings are popular at bars and sporting events and college functions.

It's a Chinese quit-smoking forum.

Have you read the book by Allen Carr? I quit for 6 months two years ago, it's an easy and happy process, all credits go to that book. Unfortunately it's no longer that effective for me after I failed once.

Did not read that. Right now what is working is exercise more than anything else. I am busy today from 6:30 am to 4pm, but am hitting the gym at 6 for stair machine or treadmill and then some light weights.

That sounds like crazy talk to me! Keep them far from you to avoid temptation! Cigarette addiction is just too difficult to play too close to the fire with.

I was just thinking about the record we bought years ago about how to give up smoking, it was actualy done by a hypnotist, and that was just a couple of things on it but I guess you would have to listen to it for it to work properly,it was much more involved than that as well. it worked for both my hubby and I, we both stopped smoking on the same day, and haven't looked back since.
I know how addictive smoking is I used to chew this special gum that was supposed to help you stop smoking, and was still smoking and chewing at the same time so that wasn't helping at all.
when you smoke 20 or more a day it is dammed hard to quitand probably even harder today with the more addictive chemicals they put in them.
The fact that one of our friends lost an eye, and another had to have half his tongue cut out because of smoking was enough for us to want to give up.

Thanks for enlightening me saved, no I still haven't heard of them here but then we don't go dinning out much these days so don't realy know what new things are available.

They are a highlight of bar food. 20 yrs ago, many bars would have 15 cent wing nights, now 50 cent wing nights are a deal.




Now they have many types, tereyaki, curry, super hot, cajun, honey mustard etc

I remember eating buffalo wings and thought I had died and gone to heaven. Yum.

I hesitate to mention this but wouldn't feel right not letting you know what I've read. Nicotine acts as an anti-inflammatory in the body. Once you're no longer consuming it your body won't get that benefit. So I would look into adding anti-inflammatory foods, to a higher degree than what you've been eating as your body is detoxing from the nicotine trapped in your cells and lungs.

You love your garlic so keep it up and who cares if you stink. lol Add some ginger. You know lots of anti-inflammatory foods - I'm preaching to the choir here. A special anti-inflammatory supplement might be in your next iherb order. Curcumin maybe?

Imagine that! Doesn't get more obvious than that, but i find it funny that I never gave it much though & just accepted the name as is Lol

The wings in western NY state are pretty good. There is a chain called buffalo wild wings (formerly known as BW3). The wings are disgustingly small. Hard to find, but some places will boil their wing sin hot sauce: awesome.

Went out last night for a few cold ones and was talking to someone who quit a few months ago. She made a most profound statement: I mentioned I do not desire a smoke anymore when I drink and she replied : "neither do I, it is when you drive" She was correct 100 percent on that.

Now that is kind of strange. Maybe try playing the radio real loud? Or drive behind a truck with a badly tuned engine with your windows open.

Away hang in there you can do it.

Thanks Doing great day 13 and I am hitting the gym in 1/2 hr workouts have been lame this week
