Roads, I'm glad you're not smoking, you are a much stronger man than I. I'm not sure what I can ask of you other than to do what you've already been doing. You're a big part of this community and in particular this thread. You're also a hero when it come to this subject matter. You've been a big help already, thanks for your kind words and your encouragement. Also the fact that you've been able to keep sober for so long is a big inspiration. I can't really ask of anything more but instead just say a big THANK YOU!

Not so strong. I am fixated on the smokes, I think because I always found them such a relief from panic attacks--and I'm having many of those. In memory, cigarettes were the next best to scotch.
Since I can't handle pain killers, I'm trying to make do with OTC, hot/cold packs, massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic. The thing is, it's all getting worse. The major pain is from arthritic, degenerative disk disease. Docs don't have any plans that don't include a high risk of paralysis and cost more than Im willing to risk for more of what they've done that haven't worked.
Any one been through this sort of thing? I'm afraid I'll bee smoking then drinking, and if those don't help why would they now?
