2 Years ago today i had my last cigarette and i feel sooo much better...i've also saved heaps!!!

If you're thinking of giving up.. DO IT!!

The way it happened for me was without the help of patches or hypnotic therapy... it was will power and a plan...

I simply started taking longer between ciggies and when i had one left in the packet i tried to see how long it would take for me to want it.... it's still there.

STOP SMOKING!!!!

Srsly though def hoping to quit soon. Was refereeing my 5 year olds soccer game on the weekend and they were running rings around me :-(.

Plan is to start morning swims next week and hopefully quit Sion after.

And congrats Marsss. Nice work.

yeah its been about 2 years for me too, before that i'd been smoking for 14 years.

Best move i ever made. I already feel a million bucks better.

I used to always claim that i'd quit when i no longer enjoyed smoking, and i think i stopped enjoying it long before i realised it.

After that it was will power and patches.

Patches are awesome, i had the most vivid nightmares for about the first week or so... i loved it, it was like a free high quality horror flick.

I keep tihnking about buying more just so i can relive the trip

WELL DONE! - I admire anyone who gets off those insidious things no matter what the method - IN TIME - before disaster strikes.

Tobacco companies put ammonium salts in the filters - do you know why?

They'll tell you that it helps with the cleansing action via the filter = BS

It chemically reacts with the nicotine to make it more addictive on the inhaler.

One client said to me, "You must be the cigarette company's worst enemy" = nice rap

Another came back from o'seas in Feb and relayed to me that her trip was paid for by the cigarette money that she would have smoked the previous year. She stuck it in a special account.

And lately, as I'm walking down Macquarie Rd Springwood, I hear the pneumatics of bus doors opening...

The guy in the driver's seat yells out, "Hey Terry it's 6 years to-day"

I say in a soft voice, "That's great Brian; congrats"

I know that Brian is a real extrovert so that'd be nothing new...

...but me being 'introspective' think as I look at the passengers in the bus, "I hope they're not thinking that this is the 6th anniversary of a gay relationship" hehe

Motivation is a core issue... It can be any of the following reasons (to start with)...

1) health + longevity of life

2) mental control reclaimed over nicotine - not the other way round

3) $$$

4) social

5) family

6) improve sperm count

7) fitness/breathing capacity/stamina

8) mobility

9) pregnancy + health of the unborn

Hypnotherapy is a great tool for getting rid of the craving > stops psychological withdrawal

l-Tyrosine amino acid (with dosage) geared to the number of Mg nicotine that's smoked daily supports the brain chemical Dopamine > stops the physical withdrawal (ie moodiness, agitation & down feelings)

The worst time of the year that I get repeat clients is Feb/Jan soon after silly season starts with the grog. Be careful.

Again Congrats!!! You've done it !!! :down:

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
