Quitting smoking and cutting back on the drink. For financial reasons. I'm too drunk to read all the posts in what i suspect might be a very interesting thread. To get back to your original statement. Quit tobacco. If that's what you are talking about, do it, simple as that. Patches worked for me, despite people at the time sneering at them because they were somehow uncool. I envy anyone who can smoke anything. My lungs are fucked. I gave the 70s, 80s and 90s to getting stoned and I still crave the altered state that was the norm for all that time. I have forgotten what I was going to say . Oh yes - a Wordsworth quote from Intimations of Immortality about a glory that has passed away from the earth. Might just be a getting old thing and nothing at all to do with drugs. Google it if you can be bothered. It is a fine poem. And GIVE UP SMOKING. I quit smoking and drinking one time for 13 years. Every night I dreamed of having a smoke, every damn night. Then one night I had a drink, and a smoke naturally followed.

And don't forget the real benefit of giving up. You get to be a real sanctimonious anti smoking saint. Think of all the condescending snippets of advice you can dole out to the unreformed. All those speeches about how if I can quit then so can you. Its not hard to quit smoking as long as you go straight to being an insufferable cunt instead. It worked for me.

Also the drink helps me sleep, self medication and far better for me than Ambien. Weed certainly could replace that part.

Smoking protects the lungs from all the shit and diesel fumes and similar carcinogenics given off by cars, with a thin protective film of tar.

Getting drunk gets me into trouble but even if I ain't drunk if I socialise I just want to fight the stoopid skin head smashing glasses up next to my legs....ain't scared I will even pick on a Pikey if I hads to, and if they stood on my foot any fat bastard size.
I don't socialise for fear of murdering people who are just bad mannered really.

I don't socialise for fear of murdering people who are just bad mannered really. oh dear..a Bacardi Bruiser. Just as well I'm a Licensed Victualler's Diplomat then innit? I've defused more pub brawls than you've had love. Come from a long line of barmaids, see? I know it's hard to fathom but I can be that fucking charming when I need to be. I can do it when there's no alcohol involved too if I set me mind to it. I stopped a blue (aussie for fight) that was well on the way to being a shivving in the supermax at Goulburn gaol in 1991. Fucked if I was letting them get the gaol locked down;. I was two hours into a three day workshop I was up for getting paid $42 an hour for. Thoughtless cunts. I was the only one in the room not a convicted murderer too. Mind you I didnt stop to think about that til it was all done and dusted. I needed a fucking drink when that fact hit home though....and not even a gaol brew to be found - the cunts! Though a lovely young felon did make me a cuppa with three sugars and tell me I was a bit of alright.

I got literally kicked out of a red hot chilli peppers gig at the Hordern pavilion in Sydney...I mean the cunts dragged me halfway across the floor and when they'd managed to fling me to it they kicked me the rest of the way out. Anyone would think that if they hadn't WANTED people to sneak in the back door without a ticket - they'd have had some fucking security on it. Some other fucking punter saw us and shopped us to them. WTF???

I'd say with your belly the booze defo needs to go...and smoking tobacco..I really do plan to give that up this year too. I dint f=drink fuck all so its not worth going all temperance...but I smoke like a chimney and I hate what it does to my breath and the stains on my teeth. I swear if I ever see a yellow finger on my hand its gone!! What do you mean my belly? ?? You callin me FAT? ? No you bloody numpty...I was referring to the fact that you've been comprehensively re-plumbed...more than once...and that pouring alcohol onto that new manscaping might not be the best course of action. Fucking fat....spare me!!!

As an old brawler, bartender and bouncer it's a toss up as to whether I've been thrown out of more places and times than I thrown others out. When I was young, dumb and bullet proof I wasn't having fun unless I ended up in jail or the hospital.

Just the kind of guy I used to fall for.

(I just got the imagery of RScott doing an Al Pacino, with his face buried in a kilo of chang, and Mr Smith and Mr Wesson about to (briefly) rain hot, leaden death to The Feds)
