RE: Alcoholism: The First Triple Digit Sobriety Post And Thoughts About Changing The World Through Steemit.
Congrats you;ll also you may slow down on cigs also, as smoking and drinking to chill normally go hand in hand and you end up smoking more.
You have taken on some great projects they sound really interesting.
Have been whinging about why governments can't go and build tiny or hemp homes for the homeless for a little while.
Realizing only a little while ago that the only way to actually solve homelessness is community's people helping each other like they do in deep traditional country's.
Congrats on finding an out let!
I agree on the smokes 100%. It will be the next thing to go. I told myself when I quit drinking that once I got to 100 days it will be time to work on the smokes. The day is coming very soon. I am sure I will be blogging on the struggles with that. They may be videos because I may not be able to blog during that time. The last time I quit smoking I was seriously sick for a little while. But this time I will power through it.
The tiny house project is something I think I can accomplish here. We don't have building codes in the county I live in. We are right in between two major cities, Nashville and Knoxville, that have many homeless veterans. This is a project that will require a legit business plan and some funding. I have some ideas for the funding part.
OperationMosquito took a huge step forward today. Was able to figure out how to use the Nigerian e-commerce site Jumia with a U.S. based bank card(BitPay) to send a package. Now, we are in a 7 day waiting period to make sure delivery happens. This will help save a lot of money on shipping charges. There will still be some items we need still need to ship from Amazon. Will have that list out sometime tomorrow.
Ok, so I am writing a book now. Yes, things are finally coming together. And I can honestly say it's because I quit drinking. Thanks for your comment and support.
Amen! 🙏
Have you heard of vaping Lex? It's still 'smoking', but you get to reduce your exposure to all the other bad chemicals in cigs..I'm no expert, but a couple of people I know have switched to vaping and found it to be much better for them...you could look into it whenever you have a free moment :)
Yes, I've actually vaped before and got tired of having to replace coils, go to a special store to buy liquid, or running out of battery. Not to mention the taste is awful. Don't worry the day of stopping cigarettes is coming. It's just right around the corner. One habit a time is what my mother always says. This one will be coming to an end.
Vaping can be worse for some smokers, some have said that the intake is much more than a cig, and makes them have heart pains, grumpy mood swings, head aches, for them they found going back to cigs and just limiting the amount to be better to ease off. Everyone is different.
There are different Nicotine levels for vaping. Can be hard to figure out in comparison what one smokes a day in regular cigarettes. However, if one could figure out a happy medium and start working their nicotine levels down as far as % in the liquid, it could be very helpful to quit altogether.
I may go cold turkey and be a sick mamo jamma for a week or may use patches, haven't decided yet. But the day is coming.
Thanks for bringing up that point..it's possibly quite true..My friend shared with me that he could control the nicotine amount through vaping though..perhaps different vaping devices work differently..I personally have no experience in this one!
I see...had no idea there was so much maintenance to do for vaping :)) Regarding the awful taste, is there no option to add a 'flavour' into the mix?
hehe really proud of you for carefully planning out and going through this attack strategy on all your unwanted habits :)
As you can tell from this super late reply, I have been very busy. Yes, there is an option to add flavors to your vap. There are even stores with "tasting bars" to find your flavor.
haha tasting vap bars! That's hilarious! I think you've been 'Good Busy' though, so I'm happy for you!! I've kinda been down (physically) and out for a bit..trying to do some catch up now..
