he quit smoking

Technorati Tags : quit, smoking ban , smoking

About the life of the famous "smoking ban " I decided to write my experience to quit, because I think I can contribute something to those who also want to do it.

I started smoking at 12 or 13 years, and quickly got addicted, smoked more cigarettes per day, and my stop was to reach 30 per day. At that point obviously I was not mentioned by the risk of cancer, the smoke causes discomfort in others, the fatigue and cough, smelly clothes ... I reached a moment only concerned about bad breath from smoking so much, but only slightly.

But one morning in mid-2000 I woke up half drowned and exhausted me just stretch my arm to the lamp to find a cigarette lighter and ashtray. That day I was scared, and only smoked 2 cigars, not much considering my daily routine 30.

Now I have about 2 ½ years without a single puff, after 4 years and 8 attempts to quit. It was not a quick or easy, but it's something I'm proud to tell.

My first attempt I was half as only decreased to 8 the number of cigarettes per day, lasted about 4 months at this pace and then started to increase the amount. In 2001 and 2002 was more of the same: limits noticing more and more narrow, but to abstain from smoking. Of course, I never saw smoke as much as in 2000, and I think at that point already had some awareness of the detrimental effects of smoking. And here I point out something that was crucial: not much smoke less, but should eliminate vice . And that became my goal. For that I took the recommendations found on all sides, we need to prepare and choose a significant date (in my case, the new year), expected weight gain (is welcome) and finding new leisure activities. This worked pretty well for me just over 3, but one day I woke up with too much anxiety by smoking, preceded by a week of very concern in mind cigars. Finally, I went and bought a pack, with a frustration and a feeling of severe weakness for failing to keep up the will.

The good news is that just a few days later I saw a story about quitting smoking, and he mentioned a period of anxiety that could affect the 3 months of abstinence. It was a relief to blame the chemical. In the months since I smoked fairly moderate, committed to leave soon. So I spent that whole year to figure out methods, recommendations, formulas and treatments, until I decided to quit on my own, without relying on drugs or an acquaintance that would make the chaperone and wandered about taking away the cigarettes. To this end, I chose a date in advance (2004/3/1), plan some activities that occupy my first 6 months without smoking (cycling, chess and playing music with a group), I saved a little money to follow a diet that inhibits urges to smoke, I informed my friends again my decision (at that point, with my credibility on the floor).

I want to dwell on the diet to quit. While trying to resist the urge to smoke looming like eating candy, but the anxiety persists. Milk, cereals, juices, fruits and vegetables with vitamin C works well to overcome it. For contrast, coffee, alcohol and chocolate do not help, and try to calm the anxiety and treats served not cause tooth decay. In addition, it is inappropriate to spend much time without eating, so it is good idea to walk with a bottle of juice, or fruit on hand, plus breakfast with milk and cereal, to eat lunch salads and fruits, milk and the eleven others cereals, eat yogurt at night. All this while maintaining a respectable activity, whether walking more than normal, cycling, whatever.

prepared me for this time with more enthusiasm when it came three months, but radical changes in eating habits, the overload of activities and self-awareness, was a painless process. That year actually gained weight, about 6 kilos, I lost about a year later.

As of today I am very pleased to have stopped smoking. I do not tire as before, do not smell a cigar, I have no fingers or yellow teeth, I enjoy more the taste of food, saving money, not waste time in smoking (out to a patio, looking fire, go out and buy cigarettes , etc.) not contaminated with cigarette butts, and so on. The truth is that this is difficult to convince those who do not want to quit, but for those who try it can serve.

And finally, I leave these facts:

Technorati Tags: blogs , meme

This is the answer to a string via blogs that I have encaletado from naturals. Maybe this blog is boring for many people, moreover, that practically I have not even talked about the intention behind this blog, so I welcome this opportunity.


1 .- How long have you been blogging?
Since May 2005, when I started SocioloRock with the intention of having my sociological thesis of what was left of my daily practice with the bass (which I return again) and personal approaches, or yes by mid the fact Sociology. So far it has resulted in a draft blog still not defined.

2 .- How did you hear about the existence of blogs and we encourage you to participate?
see ... since I had internet access I noticed this communication platform. In 2000, when I entered college, I learned to surf web pages, to use e-mail and use a messenger. And from that moment I wanted to build a page with the rock in Chiloé (Ancudstock first, and Chilwerock, then, none exists today), so I started to learn html, design basics and more. For the past year did not have time to mess with code or anything like that, but I began to suspect that the word blog should mean something interesting. There I remembered what was the first site teamed up with a blog, which I visited a few times when I was a smoker but she remembered for its unique design, unlike a traditional website. Anyway ... I took a Blogger account and started to publish what he wrote.

3 .- Five blogs you follow on a daily or frequently.
There are many blogs that are updated daily, and that I was given some time between an article and another. My 5 of the moment, in strict alphabetical order, are:
  • naturals My friend who studies sociology, suffer, is the one I uploaded this questionnaire. A fun blog that has generated the most diverse reactions (look in the comments of his blog and Digg ).
  • digizen : Blog of a Puerto Rican psychologist, comments on education and news.
  • Salmon's Blog: A blog about economics. I do not know why he ended up liking it, but there it is. You can go there.
  • Holla Back New York City : If you can not slap, fúnalo. A place to hang pictures or data from sexual predators. It is in English.
  • Why are you so petrified of silence? : Fellow and member of Sociologists Without Borders, this friend writes a little of everything, sociological unpretentious, but often leave things very interesting.


4 .- Are you anonymous reader of a blog? If so. Which ones?
  • 10, Mathew Street : Blog of a Beatles fan. 180 L
  • Jounal Planted Aquarium: The experiences of one who got a freshwater tank of 180 liters. Log
  • a chess : Blog of a Chilean Master of chess, with chess news and dilemmas.


5 .- And on the authors, appoints 5 special sympathy you arouse.
  • Gonzalo León, a reporter for The Nation . Irony in each disease.
  • Mario Núñez Molina, a psychologist in Puerto Rico engaged in the mass of blogs as learning tools. Pepe
  • guitarist Without God ... able why it amuses me.


6 .- Come on, Get wet, what more quality blogs think (trying to be as objective / a)?
  • blogpocket : updating it very often and very recent information on blogs.
  • Ciberamérica : this is about politics and Latin American news. It is dense, but has lots of interesting information. Periodistas 21
  • : blog news, its contents are very well prepared.


7 .- What bloggers / drunk as you would go (at least three / maximum five)?
If it's drunk, that is with people you know: Dastan , Beto and Pato. Rescued from each their particular generosity with the juice.

8 .- What three bloggers / as you would spend a crazy night of sex?
not trust the sexual health of a blogger.

9 .- Did you ever love a / a blogger / a?


No. 10 .- Did you meet some at more than the keyboard? Which ones?
Mmm, I have not met anyone in person it is placed through a blog. Blog people I have met are Beto, Chepelao , Dastan , Denise , Fuller, Karina , Pato , Ramón, Antonio . Oh, there I met a blogger, Eduardo , but I doubt that this meeting has been given by the fact that both write in blogs.

11 .- Do you consider yourself satisfied with your blog? What would you change?
I like my blog, I think the template you chose is quite nice to see, I have tried to maintain a consistency in what I have written here (except this questionnaire), fortunately some comments that I want to do so, and I I have fun looking for resources to meet thanks to Blogger.com does not offer, especially about the categories (see here and here ).

12 .- pass this meme to a minimum of three and a maximum five.
see ... it meets my cousin Denise . A Karina, I do not reject it. See if Chepelao also entertained by this. I also invite and Beto Dastan, but do not think they respond. And for good measure I leave the task pa 'la home Cesar Jure , who had long ago released his blog.


13 .- And finally they get wet and tell readers a virtue and a flaw in this blog.
already read, readers criticize.


Finally, I leave here a link to those who do not understand what a meme : Memes: the virus mind. Greetings.

Progesterone Soft-gelatin Caps

born LinuxChix-Peru - Part IV born

::: Questions:::

Why only nine? The initial idea was to be short, initially to be shaping the group, started swaying with ideas, and define what we wanted to achieve and how we would. That this small group was involved and really see later we would begin to invite more girls to participate actively in our key agreements and would become our lists public.

Why initial pseudo-anonymity? We said
more facts and fewer words and the group continued to 'almost' secret (is that some of my good friends if they knew of the Linux users group formation) .
If almost in anonymity to start moving and this function to signal a newly formed group and done.

What is the name of the group?

decided that the appropriate name would be that many groups of Linux users worldwide use and identifies them as such: LinuxChix, but ... What we add to make it your own?, So it was eventually agreed that will as LinuxChix Peru, even though today we get down to say, Mmmm only mentions Linux? and 'other' (FOSS ): P. But we take it as the 'nombre_estándar'. About the day we bought the domain, several things happened anecdotal, I will discuss in a future post.

Does using GNU / Linux, mission, vision and goals, a logo, phrase, statute, domain, hosting, a channel on IRC, blogs, list of activities, presentation of group meetings / sessions, the wiki, the expos-internas/externas, call for smaller, a public list, participation in activities our Linux users ... ?
All these and many other questions were the order and started work on them, before saying yes Jey is ready and trained LinuxChix-Peru ;-)


::: Simply thx ! :::
I want to thank some friends of mine who gave me their tips and I questioned some things so I could have renewed and different points of view is that as I said to the group is not 'decoupling', so I spend to give some well deserved thx to:

- Binary - by their words initial and perhaps the manager in my subconscious for the formation of the group and I always said: When you integrate LinuxChix? "With URL including" and as he formed utpinux did have much to say ;-)

- Dieguito - me who insisted on creating a wiki to keep order, or tell me that my logo proposal as lacking this or that detail (*), with whom I have also had long blah blah blas about the group and who is willing to kindly give me a Dieguito-tip: P
(*) At the end my logo proposal won because it was not complicated, maybe something simple group ...

- Rudy -
who own initiative sent an e-mail to the list of DW (Debian Women) and pass the voice announced the creation of the group and thanks to your e-mail not Congratulations have come from groups, girls or boys, for the formation of the group.

- Drop - and words of encouragement (just do not know if it was because there were girls through or they were really sincere words of encouragement) hahahaha, seriously thanks.

- Trial - always told me (very cautious and realistic) not going to be that the group becomes a social group. If Tuvia conversations were interesting.

- Hacfrancker - who always, since I told the group, I was wondering how the progress and threw us encouragement :-)

- Migue -
my lovely, dear and beloved brother who 'endured' as blah, blah to you about training / pre-evolution of the group and he and I are super friends!, muak!


- Axel -
who always used to put the funny side-something macho and there was telling me some ideas out (Eg: Do not include web links in anything that has to do with crafts, and cooking tips: P)
And many of my friends who were subjected to some of my questions, of course never said anything precisely the group but gave me a clear picture of how to treat / do / handle some things.


::: Expos-external:::

And this August 12 8 we will be giving a expos, where our target audience are girls. Expos will be a way of introduction to many basic issues of FOSS and discuss them at the end of the group, purpose, and can integrate it and everything want to ask about LinuxChix Peru.


::: Weekend:::

Okis now if this would be the end of this sequence of posts, and not because they no longer have much to say, nou! Is that I'm leaving 'material' for the other chixs are encouraged to comment on future blogs.
And yes it has caused me much joy and several girls have contacted the group through the mail group, my blog, or some friends of mine who I have spread the word ;-)


::: Music yeahh !!:::
not before I say goodbye this week to comment I passed my exams I was listening to the pianist Herbie Hancock , who as I read is one of the first to use electronic keyboards in one of my preferred genres: Jazz . And a curious note, for me this weekend when I heard one of my favorite songs " Just the two of us " my famous friend George Benson on the cover of Will Smith with a hip-wave hop, pretty nice, I can not deny.
