Can't remember how long but

[Dodo777]

I still haven't smoked a cigarette and have absolutely no plans to smoke fags again and my chest has not played up since. No coughing no tightness of the chest my breathing is fantastic. The smell of the smoke I do love but that's about it. I remember after having a life threatening asthma attack I was on this ward where people was fighting for every breath which also turned me off smoking. My son who smokes heavy including Cannibus is in prison where he ain't allowed to smoke only those liquids or vapour which I am thankful for because I know he won't go back to fags not once he realises how is breathing is .

I feel sorry for smokers now because of all the diseases they will probably get.

Good to hear from you Dodo, it's been a long time. Even better to hear that everything's going well.

Is that a Stratocaster in your profile picture? You play the guitar? I play myself - have a Telecaster....love my Fenders!

[Dodo777 in reply to Nozmo]

Yes it's a Stratocaster I want another Fender been playing a few years now learning a song from Guitar Techniques magazine. How long you been playing ? I wish I learnt decades ago. The money wasn't there then though. How many have you got ? Nozmo like the name.

Had to think about that...reckon I've been playing about 37 years. Scary. I’ve got two electrics, two bass guitars, an acoustic and a ukulele. My wife’s sick of the sight of them! Managed to buy a USA Precision Bass with the money I saved from not smoking.

Me to I been saving the money we spent on fags must run into the thousands.

I can't wait to go down Cardiff or Newport to buy a guitar this time I know what sound I am looking for. I always fancied the Banjo after watching that film O I can't remember if now but it was about the deep South .

37 years I bet your good now. Wish I started earlier.

Can’t believe though , you like the smell ... I think k it’s absolutely gross ..it stinks ,...

I rolled my own anyway , and don’t think they smell the same as ready made ... all the same though , I can’t stand the smell ...but could be because of trying to get away from it 🤔
