Another KETOFEST victory

(Mark Rhodes) #1

SInce the day I returned home from Ketofest 2018 I have been tobacco free!

I was so inspired by listening to such captivating stories of personal health recovery from everyone I met. As I told my own story and others expressed their own reactions to my recovery I became quite emotional about my own story. It never occured to me that mine was inspirational! It was just what happened.

I was overcome by a very strong desire to try to improve it just a bit more. So I stopped chewing tobacco. 3 weeks now. Thanks Dudes for nothing!!! ( No tobacco, no diabetes, no obesity, i.e. nothing :rofl: )

I have a close friend who has smoked since he was 17. 44 now. We’d all love for him to quit. Do you think that your diet allowed you to quit easier? Kind of a chicken vs egg question. I always figured it’d be easier to Keto first and avoid the assumed munchies aspect of quitting smoking.

I chewed Copenhagen for a long time. Once I got to my late 30’s, fortunately I couldn’t stand it anymore. That and alcohol I wish had no part of my life. Good for you and good luck with your journey.

Highly doubtful EXCEPT for the fasting. Lessons I learned fasting for 5 or 10 days came in handy the first few weeks…I can chew later but I need to get through this now without…if I chew now I will want to chew again in an hour… I cannot chew if I don’t take the first dip (okay that last one is from myu time in a different way of life :grin:

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #7

Yay for you, bro! :+1:

I smoked briefly in college. :smoking: Got so sick chain-smoking one night to keep myself awake while studying for midterms that I never smoked again. Too bad that didn’t work for alcohol, lol! :cocktail:

Bacon is better, anyway! :bacon::bacon:

Thanks Paul.

Meeting people like yourself at Ketofest was the highlight for me. Each and every one of you just motivated me to be the best me I could be.
