Phoenix I have been taking the cutting down approach, I dont know if that will work, I dont feel like i am quitting,and still feel just as hooked. I have told myself I am cutting down for some 25 years now, been smoking for 30 some. To me its a cop out, I'm not quitting, because I am still smoking. ...

Flowerchild, I'm not as worried about the town knowing, as I am having that information in my medical file. As for your doctor not putting it in your file, unless s/he is a very good personal friend, I wouldnt count in it. Once you disclose something like that I think they are obligated to put that ...

Flowerchild, I am soon to be 49. We have a lot in common, age, number of years smoked. I would never tell my doctor about it, once it gets into your file it is there for life. It will effect the treatment you receive in the future. You will never be taken seriously by the medical profession again. I...

Too Old, you sound a lot like me, I have thought a lot about groups and even a rehab facility, I would love to tell my doctor , she is so understanding,,but it would be in my record and I would be branded a druggie, also I am in a small town and lots of people complain about the lack of privacy when...

Thanks Flower Child, I appreciate your posts. I wonder if you work outside your home, maybe your husband had an easier time because he had other things going on. Often if I have a busy day I don't even think about smoking. But I have an office at home and spend a fair amount of time there, so will b...

I was diagnosed with Ischemic Colitis (a stroke in your colon), Crohns disease which can be anywhere from your mouth to your anus, and ...

Flowerchild, wow that is what I am afaraid of, my brain wont even function if I quit, and the emotianal part of it. That is about the year I started, So its been a long time. What about your lungs, are they bad? Did you have asthma? I smoked cigarettes before that, so my lungs are shot I'm sure, and...

You guys are an inspiration, I am so glad I found this forum. A few years ago I went on an addiction support site and was laughed off because I said I was addicated to marijuana, people didnt think it was a big deal to quit pot. It is when you have smoked for decades.

Anyone smoked for 20-30 years? What happened when you quit?

After that long quitting is scary. Can anyone relate?

It sounds like you may have an inflammatory bowl disease. you should see a doctor about the stomach/abdominal problems. Even if the pot did bring on a flare up of a bowel disease you still need to treat it.
