I just started too. Do it!

Doin' it.

smoking sucks major balls. did i halp?

Haven't touched a cigarette since 1/1, quit cold turkey.

If you're ready to quit, it's pretty easy to do. If you don't want to quit but feel you should, it'll be a lot harder.

canal access road was clear to take to and from work. less of a mud bog than yesterday, but yay fenders.

may actually have time this weekend to 1x9 the Ridley. gears. whoa.

I tried to taco an unlaced Formation Face. Could not do it. Whatever I tried. Put it on stairs and stood on it, didn't even bend.

Long story.

We're ready for it.

A package of braze-ons arrived on my desk today and tomorrow I'm off to a frame building class. Going to be a good weekend.

Just don't fall into the thought process that if you slip you really didn't want to quit. If you slip, just call it a slip and stay with it. You had to learn the habit/addiction, it will take time to unlearn it too. It's hard either way. Haven't smoked in 12 years, best thing I ever did for myself.

Be strong, you can do it.

This weekend is insane. Went to a party last night with the girls from our schools dance team. Day. Um. Got a girls number there before we left, and she invited me to a party tonight. And then friends with one tomorrow night too. No wonder I'm broke.

And today I did a short grocery/recovery ride. Legs feel pretty decent. So glad its finally warming up so I can get back in shape.

Oh and Seau, **** smoking. I lost two grandparents to lung cancer because they smoked a lot, especially when they were younger. You're doing your body a favor by quitting.

had to miss a brewery ride, i broke my glasses.

Echoing this, never stop trying. I had actually quit for 6 months about 7 years ago and picked it back up on weekends...then whenever I drank. My downfall, I drank every night, so I'd have 1-3 every night, more on the weekends. I smoked so much through the holidays that I was wheezing and hacking up blood. Finally something in brain just clicked - I didn't want to live that way anymore. I've had a couple of chances since the beginning of the year but it's so nice to be able to take a deep breath and not start coughing. I don't want to go back.

Today I had a good time on the dirt. Worked on the 930 a little before hand(new brake levers, cable and chainring.)

I quit every day for thirty years!!!

Then I discovered NOPE..............Not One Puff Ever.

Next month will be three years without a puff/toke of anything.

I can't, and don't know anyone who can, "just smoke one tonight".

I went from almost three packs a day to none. Hardest damn thing I ever did.

Started smoking when i was 12, stopped at 21

had a panic attack after i smoked some weed (as i usually did) when i got home from work, thought i was actually dying

decided then that all that **** isnt worth it, havent smoked a cig or weed since, only drink a handfull of times per year and i feel a lot better in every way

but as othera have said, you have tp be truly ready for it, i had tried stopping numerous times before that

I have actually cut back on smoking other stuff too. Vaporizer and edibles for me! Granted, I still enjoy a dab every now and then. shh, it's medicinal!

I go to school in San Jose, and pass AT LEAST four dispensaries from the bus stop to campus.

You'd go blind if you didn't. Or, is that if you do??

Crap, I get so confused in my later years.

today i went to work

and then went to lunch

left work early cuz the internet bonked

rode dt for a beer and a cassette

now i'm chillin in bed

Might just have back pain. ;)

12.5 miles at 15.7 average (this is good, for me, and i didn't avoid any hill religiously like i usually do). And now, beer.

I've been reading about fit and really need to fit calculator myself because my seat is killing me and i think it may be because i'm too stretched out. i like to put my hands right before the kick up of the bullhorns at their end on Origin8 non-drop horns (which are still longish IMO) and usually get bad perineal pain and no sitbone pain whatsoever. So tonight i experimented with hands further back or on the "tops" of the horn near stem, or thinking about curving my back to put pressure on my sitbones, and whether i was sliding myself up on the seat. Problem sort of solved (those are just experiments, not how i want to ride, constantly thinking about where my butt is on the seat) until mile 11 then aaaaagh the burn. Hopefully the Soma Ensho i bought will help (i couldn't resist, it was gold glitter vinyl [i know, i know]. And maybe a shorter stem someday soon after i do the fit calc.

cuz of all the pots.

i think if i smoked weed at this point in my life id have to go the hospital, my body and mind are too clean for that nonsense id go into shock or something

lower your saddle, and put some bag balm on your taint.

if you're having intense taint pain after 11 miles, bag balm aint gonna help a thing

get a saddle that puts you on your sit bones, not your delicates

Dafuq.

My thoughts exactly.

Story needs to be heard, nag.
