    I'm at 29 years and some odd months I quit right before my wife got pregnant with my youngest daughter who is 28. Congrats Tri, I never thought i"d make it.
    This is your mind on drugs!

    Good deal---hang in there. I still miss, at times like my first coffee in the morning, tobacco, it has been 46 years and it still haunts me.

    I still get the craves for a good cigar or a pipe on occasion, but after all these decades, I can go a little longer...But cigarettes or alcohol?...I'll fight past the gates of Hell to avoid that......Ben

    The crazy part for me, is that I cannot stand being around cigarette smoke, it's like putting corks in my nostrils

    Nice work, my friends.

    For me, the Medical Marijuana card is now active and works. So, now I have an option to opioids. We all handle pain in our own way.

    The older I get the less I drink but I still, on occasion, have a sip of Woodford Reserve Bourbon.

    Wish there was a easy non-addictive med for pain.

    I hope it works well for you Hunter. I have been taking CBD oil for maybe a year and know it works for me---if I cut back on the dose I know it within a few days. I just wish it wasn't so expensive
