Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Will post links when I find them, I hate that period between new music where everything starts to sound a little bit stale. Then when you get something new and listen for the first time and it's fresh and new and exciting it allows me to appreciate the old stuff more.

@ Charlie (primarily)

Quitting cigs is one of the best decisions I have ever made. My body, family, and wallet thank me immensely. The first and (IMO) most important step was removing "smoker" from my sense of identity. I had been smoking for so long that it was part of who I was as much as son or musician. I first had to mentally commit to indentifying myself as a "non-smoker". After that, it was easier to act in accordance with my new identity and never consider smoking another cigarette to be an option. It's the same way that one might identify themselves as a pacifist and never consider murder an option. It just becomes something you can't or don't do.

After that, I substituted cigarettes with the nicotine lozenges. It helped with physical cravings by providing nicotine but really helped with mental cravings b/c I just told myself that I'm still getting my "fix" but via a safer ROA. I even compared it in my mind to rectal vs oral administration of my favorite chemicals i.e. easier on the body but still effective. After that, I tapered down the # of lozenges to some extent but more effectively, began replacing lozenges with gum. Eventually, the gum replaced the lozenges fully. That was 3.5 years ago and I'm still smoke free. In fact, I joke that I went from smoking 2 packs a day to chewing 2 packs (of gum) a day.

Last, switching from spliffs to a vaporizer is 100% the way to go. Once you make the change, I doubt you'll have a desire to smoke cannabis again. Vaporizing simply works too well, tastes too good, and has fewer negative effects to ever return to smoking. Just make sure you get a good vaporizer or it will be a worthless endeavor. I strongly advise against any glass fishbowl style vaporizers and most portable vapes. IMO, the best bang for the buck can be had with Da Buddha Vape by 7th Floor.

It would be cool, although impossible, if active PD members could still view the old threads for rereading amusing/helpful posts :P

Why can't you just move the old threads to like a mod/admin only section of the forum (I'm sure there is one) so no one else can see it yet it still exists?

Actually if you read all my posts that's exactly what ahs happened. They're just hidden so only mods can find them.

Didn't knoow about google caching... man, that's lame. :\

as a counter-intelligence measure, it isn't much to make the threads invisible. if we were under serious surveillance, "they" would be logging the stuff anyway ... only a casual adversary would be thwarted by the ephemerality of the social thread

My worry isn't about immediate surveillance at all. It's about the fact that I'm planning to publish my book under this name, because of privacy reasons in my real life (some family not needing to know about some things, etc... mostly older generations). So at some point if it becomes big people are going to search the Internet for shit I've written and I've posted a lot of incriminating stuff in PD social. Stuff I wouldn't necessarily want people to get ahold of. Or like when people DO eventually figure out it's me in my life (family I mean), I don't want them to then find out that the extent of what I've done to my brain is much greater than what I've written about (which only contains a few key experiences).

I think the significance of an SKL comeback is lost on a lot of the newer cats 'round here.

Cuz an SKL comeback would be some epic shit for rizzle. :D

Fo rizzle. :)
 
Now it seems my new plan of "don't slip into 24/7 opiate use" has also failed.
I'm rather torn as to what to do, obviously given the weakness of my current opioid as well as short duration of daily or more use, withdrawal symptoms would only be minor inconvenience. On the other hand, quitting would mean going back to the constant anxiety and feelings of impending doom that I started doing this to get away from.

I feel like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't. My emotional state is probably gonna be so f'ed either way it'll be a long while before I can consider tripping again. That makes me sad, maybe if I get someone actually willing to group trip with me I'll give it a shot anyway.

Going to Disneyland with the folks this weekend, so I have something to look forward to at least. :)

It may feel that way but from an outside perspective it appears that being depressed or anxious w/out a crippling opiate addiction is better than being depressed with one.

ive been having a pretty good day food wise, Me and my girl split this

amazing Ham, Capicola, Fresh Mozzarella and Blasamic vinegar subs, it's so good.

Probably my favorite sub, and to get the chance to feast with her is wonderful.
