A message to Cindy Sheehan
2005-08-14
I found this over at "IRAQ THE MODEL",it is fantastic.This"message"answers all of Sheehan's questions and I can't see any better way.It's pretty long so I'll just post the link.
Okay kids, let's review how to post: put the link in the SOURCE line, and do NOT embed it in the text. An improperly embedded link can hose the whole site.

Repeat: put the link in the SOURCE line, where it belongs. I fixed it this time. AoS

#19  Raptor. I've been of a year and a month. I don't expect the cravings to ever stop. But the frist three weeks ar4e the hardest. Each day will get better. Tell yourself that often.

#18  Raptor - My Dad quit several times, including before the Surgeons General's report (1962). He told me, "You think you're over it, and then you paint the house for the first time in five years, and you climb up the ladder and reach for the cigarette..."

Hang in there Bud. He made it, and so did I!

#15  Good deal Raptor! Glad to hear you're better. I assume this was related to the finger problem of several months past? Hang tight, I quit smoking involuntarily too.... :>

#14  No prob Rapter. Sorry to hear about your hospital stay. (3 weeks? Hell I'll be stark raving mad at 3 days...).

Glad to hear you quit smoking. I did a couple of years ago after about 20-25 years (thanks to my girlfriend/now wonderful wife :). Don't miss it much now but sometimes get a craving. Dont give in.

Get well soon!

#13  Rapter, I don't know you, but glad to hear that you stopped smoking, that's one of the hardest things to do. Continue to get well and stay strong.

#12  Thank you,like I said the infection is gone,because of reduced blood flow it will take awhile for the wounds to heal.But I'm gettin there.

#11  Get well fast, raptor.

#10  Yeah,awhile back I got a Manx kitten,and was letting him use my foot for hunting practice.Several badly infected scratches later I ended up on I.V. antibiotics.I have Beurger's disease,it's an allergic reaction to nicotine(and only caused by nicotine).What Beurger's does is cause perminate,progressive constriction of the blood vessels.The good news is the infection is gone,it will take awhile for the wounds to heal.And most important of all I quit smoking(thus halting bthe progression of the disease).
