Abracadabra Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 so as you may or may not know i bought a skateboard on the weekend and it's been a few years since i've skated every day. well, today i figured instead of waiting for the bus i'd try skate home instead, so i skated the 17 blocks home. knocked it over in roughly 15 minutes. if i was still a smoker i probably would have collapsed at about the half way point, but i managed to make it home and although i was hot and sweaty, there were no burning lungs and massive loss of breath. it was a welcome change. now i'm sitting at home enjoying a beer and listening to the pixies. word. in a few weeks i might even be in shape for the first time in a long time. here's a gif of alex olson representing the four elements of rap hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abracadabra Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking Do you occassionally have a dart when you're on the beers? although i have been tempted to (moreso when i first quit) i have not even taken one drag of a cig since i've quit. some days are alot harder than others, and i'll probably always crave a cigarette, but i can live with that. i'm really happy with myself, and hope never to relapse. so far it's been about a year and a half since i last smoked a cigarette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amongst Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking skating and smoking cigs kinda goes hand in hand... well not really. but when i was skating all the time, i used to smoke all the time. however, after i stopped skating, i kept smoking. i don't really smoke anymore, but i'll have one once in a while.

iloveboxcars Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking i quit smoking for bike riding. it has yet to have noticable effects on my biking ability but its great waking up in the morning without a nasty taste in your mouth and a craving for that morning cigarette. i had really strong cravings for about a week, and now i dont want one at all.

What type of riding do you do? I never used to smoke, and used to be a big rider. I begun smoking and stopped riding as much. These days I can't even do half of the stuff I used to do. My short sprints are terrible, and I have lost a lot of my ability to pump sets of jumps. I'm going to quit soon and start riding. I miss it.

Theo Huxtable. Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking good job in quitting that habit. i haven't had a smoke since december 2005. been so purified, now it has gotten to the point where any second-hand smoke i happen to smell gives me a headache Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alure Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking i know that feeling. maybe just cause im pregnant. i met up with some ladies at a pub to eat dinner that was filled with smoke. i was wheezing and couldnt breath for shit after that. i appreciate that more places have gone to non smoking. smoking is nasty, but sometimes so satisfying.

Theo Huxtable. Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking ^i was smoking the lights when weening down. but i read that smokers smoke more ciggarrettes when smoking lights, subconsciously to make up for less nicotine/tar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaolinmasta Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking Rarely smoke when I'm sober fucking crave for that shit when I'm drinking for some reason, I hate waking up the next morning hungover as fuck with a real shitty taste in your mouth and you can feel that shit on your teeth it's no good.

crime stoppers Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking Im happy i stopped smoking before i was completely addicted, saved myself the grief you all went through to quit, although its still incredibly enticing when your either drinking or having a coffee in the morning.

VAJ Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking been so purified, now it has gotten to the point where any second-hand smoke i happen to smell gives me a headache Every time I try to quit I do ok for a few days but smelling someone else smoking makes me want real bad. I always give in. But on another note. When I ride m y bike I ride an average of 10-20 miles and I smoke a pack every 2 or 3 days. Doesn't seem to affect me at all.

asdf_va! Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Re: tonight made me glad i quit smoking Good for you! I'm walking again now after ACL surgery last month, and I'm about to build a mini ramp in my place for the winter. It's been over 5 years since I have been able to skate everyday, and the last time I skated, about a year ago seriously, I almost was better than I remembered. I couldn't ollie that high at all, but on a low bar that someone had, I was all on some nollie and switch shit! That was the last time because that one day killed my knee for months. Now I'm fixed and getting ready... I can't wait to skate everyday again! Congrats on quiting the smoking too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
