In this part we’re going to talk about the benefits after a couple of weeks up until 15 years where your risk of coronary heart disease becomes the same as a person that never smoked.

Lets start within a couple of months of giving up. Through these weeks your circulation and breathing improve making it easier to walk. Your lungs start functioning up to 30% better.

Starting in this time and sometimes taking up to a year your coughing, fatigue and shortness of breathe decrease and your immune system improves. This makes you a lot healthier in only a year and you will be able to feel the difference, I know I did.

Within one year of giving up smoking your risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker and then within two years the risk of you having a heart attack drops to near normal. This means that after two years you are one your way to been almost as healthy as someone who doesn’t smoke.

Within five years of quitting your risk of having a stroke is reduced and the risk of getting lung cancer is halved. This is almost reduced to similar of someone who has never smoked by ten years and chances of getting other cancers such as mouth, larynx, bladder and kidney are dramatically reduced.

After 15 years the risk of you having coronary heart disease becomes the same as someone who has never smoked.

That is good news isn’t it. From day one your becoming more healthier and after a couple of years the risk of disease is been reduced. After around 10 to 15 years your body is almost that of someone who has never smoked adding years to your life which goes to show that it’s never too late to quit smoking.

Now you need to plan on how your going to quit smoking as I’m sure you want to after reading this. You will need to plan and get a good easy way to quit which you can by going to my website.

Thank you for Smoking: A Quitters Vlog: Day 15 – 21

is there a place I can get the stop smoking patch free,I live in calumet county wisconsn?

I don’t have the funds to buy anything now and I smoke up to a pack and a half a day,I want to quite badly

Well first of all, if your smoking 1.5 packs per day thats costing you at least $3-$7 so you will save money in the long run. Not to mention it will save your health and possibly prevent some serious medical bills. Patches are not that expensive, a box of patches usually costs less than a carton of cigs, and at your smoke rate that would be gone in a week or less.

Second talk to your employer, especially if they are paying for your insurance they DO want you to quit because it will save them money.

Third, Ive heard this works, but never seen it done:

If you are a smoker and you want to quit:

1. Go to the store and buy 2 packs of the cheapest cigs available

2. Go to your usual smoking spot and lock yourself in there.

3. Smoke the 2 packs you just purchased as fast as possible one after another until you either:

a. Throw up
b. Never want to smoke again.

And I have heard it works wonders!

Good Luck!

Funny conversation starters can be a risky business, but they can also add interest and sparkle to your conversations. People like, listen to and trust people who make them laugh. Get your conversation off to a great start by making people laugh straight away.

Humor is personal, though, so if you can, get an idea of the sense of humor of the person you are talking to first. Does he or she tell jokes? Do they add a funny angle to their stories?

Adding humor to your conversations is easier if you understand what makes something funny. The two main aspects to this are:

1. Surprise

2. Relationships

Basically, that means keeping a punchline hidden until the very end of the joke, or bringing some unexpected element into your story, and building a relationship with your listener. To make other people laugh, you need to be relaxed or else your audience will not feel relaxed enough to laugh. They will feel uptight. So, stay true to your own sense of humor. Plenty of people will like it.

1. “Excuse me, but I do think it is time we met” will put a smile on most peoples faces without sounding too intimidating.

2. Share something funny that happened to you, especially if it was the same day. You will sound modest and that is quite an attractive quality.

3. “What kind of old person do you want to be?” intrigues people. Everyone hopes to get old and so they will have an opinion. Also, though, it will make people smile because you are taking old age as something positive – an unusual twist on any everyday topic will make people interested.

4. You could share a fun story about your children. They are a rich harvest for fun stories – and cute too! You could then ask something like ‘what is the weirdest thing you brought home when you were a child?” Take a little trip down memory lane with the person you are talking to.

5. How about asking – ‘what is the best question in the world?’ You are going for the element of surprise and this one has the added benefit that it sounds like you are interested in getting to know the other person.

6. If you are at a party, try bringing a funny card for the host and get everyone to sign it. What to write and what others have written will give you a wealth of funny conversation openers.

7. Ask someone about their worst holiday to introduce talking about one of your recent vacation mishaps. These can be really funny conversation starters, get people laughing and will not cause tension. In addition to this, everyone will start providing their worst vacation stories and everyone will be laughing over the unfortunate events.

8. This one might work best for the younger generation – to whom all things gross seem hilarious – but try asking about the worst meal the person has ever eaten or seen someone eat. It always seems to get people talking and makes them laugh. You will also bring in most women who are pregnant or who have ever been pregnant and had cravings. Perhaps skip this one over dinner, though!

9. Ask people about their pet peeves. People are always happy to talk about these. Done in the right way with a touch of humor, you will not come across as a moaner, but as someone with a keen sense of humor.

10. The tenth? …The tenth is up to you! I told you the element of surprise was important in humor. Seriously, you have learned a few things here about how to use humor in your conversations.

You do not have to be the funniest person on the planet to open a conversation with humor. Just keep in mind your aim, which it to make people relax and get them talking. Funny conversation starters are really about giving the other person a relaxed way in to the conversation.

my thoughts on world of warcraft addiction

It’s one of those “everybody knows” data: It’s the irresistible cravings that make drug or alcohol addiction so hard to beat. Cravings for addictive prescription drugs, illicit drugs or alcohol are so strong that addicts will feel like life itself is dependent on getting and consuming their addictive substance.

In fact, drug and alcohol abuse creates cravings in two distinctly different ways. Drugs and alcohol rob the body of essential nutrients and that depletion causes tiredness, pain and cravings that an addict may want to cover up with more drug or alcohol use. Plus these substances leave behind toxic residues stored in the fatty tissues that are easily reactivated by stress, exercise or intense emotion.

These stored residues can interfere with hormones that affect moods and energy levels. That disruption causes cravings for what the body lacks or a similar substance, such as the drugs that originally caused the disruption. The reactivated residues can also act as a physical trigger for memories of drug-related experiences and discomforts from the past, causing a desire for more drugs or alcohol at these times.

The solution? A thorough detoxification of residual drug or alcohol toxins with a carefully-monitored program of exercise, sweating in a sauna and nutritional supplements. This is the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program, developed by author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard in the late 1970s.

“The Narconon New Life Detoxification Program has been helping people eliminate their cravings for nearly 30 years,” stated Ryan Thorpe, Director of Admissions at Narconon Arrowhead, one of the country’s leading drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers. “Our sauna detoxification program is a major reason we have a seventy percent success rate two years after graduation from our program. It is such a powerful program that those on this program talk about smelling or re-sensing the drugs being emitted from their bodies while they are in the sauna.”

After receiving medical approval to start, and under continuous and close supervision, people on this program exercise to stimulate circulation, spend time in a dry sauna and take a specific regimen of vitamins and minerals proven to support thorough detoxification. The end result of this program is a person who can think more clearly and whose physical cravings have been alleviated. The positive effect of this program is clearly evident in this compilation of comments from those who completed it:

“My sleep is great, my thoughts are clear and I don’t think about drugs anymore…” “I had the scent of alcohol coming out of me…” “My senses have improved enormously…” “The aches and pains have subsided and I can sleep for eight hours straight…” “Depression is now a thing of the past…” “(The) sauna (program) has also made me more calm and has gotten rid of my compulsive thoughts about using drugs…” “I don’t have that foggy feeling in my head that I used to have…” “I am not an evil person like I was on drugs.”

How to Recognize Alcohol & Drug Addiction : The Effects of Withdrawal From Addiction

My smoke detector started chirping at bedtime and won’t stop. Even replaced battery and it still chirps.?

I am in an apartment and calling mgmt hotline after hours did not work, maintenance blew me off. Beware of Ashbury Woods Apartments in Huntsville, AL! Bad! Great rent for what you get but you get what you pay for. And they make you lease for a whole year. Boo

If you take the detector off and you see wires, put it back up.

Next: Go to your breaker box and check to see if all of your breakers are working. If one is tripped, that is your problem. Reset it.

You have a “Hard-wired” unit with a battery back-up. The ‘chirp’ is to let you know that it is no longer getting any AC power.

If there are no wires then it needs to be replaced. Dust has gotten into the inner parts and any amount of cleaning you do will only last a short time.
