    Oh, the previous fails. I appreciate the reminder.

    Actually going to try the hypnotist method with the girlfriend after the new year. It's about the last thing I've not tried.

    Pisses me off that I was quit for three months cold turkey a few years back, doing fine with it, and fucked it up.

    I would think that your cheeks would be sore, not your throat. Is the air going the correct direction?

    I recently heard something where someone was saying that it doesn't matter so much how long you quit each time, only that you keep trying. Basically the idea is that each time you try to quit, you get closer to actually doing it. Then one day, the time finally comes and it is much easier. Even if it doesn't work, not harm in making frequent attempts.

    Some of the plungers are tighter than others, so you get this big lung full of air and blow, only to be blocked and it strains your throat out.

    I've never messed with a blow gun, I didn't know that...interesting.


    Smoking. It really is a pain in the ass and it's expensive. I have hope that I will conquer the urge successfully someday.

    Teehee. I think the cigarette is supposed to go in the other end.
