Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Smoking. Nothing else I have done caused me even half the trouble smoking did.

And that's coming from a guy that's been beat by a bat, kicked with boots, and generally abused the hell out of his body.

I probly coulda played junior hockey, but noooo… gotta hang out with the edgy cool kids in high school.

It sucks even worse knowing that the rest of my body and my brain are still capable of doing sports, but my lungs and heart just cannot take the pressure. I can’t even jog more that 2 blocks.

I feel that. I'm right around five years tobacco free, and I'm still recovering. I have gotten enough lung power back to do some (horrible) singing, and sex has gotten less pant inducing, but I don't know that I'll ever be all the way back to where I would be if I'd never smoked at all
