I stupidly poisoned myself.......

[Jehote]

so i have been eating really really clean aside from a few slips. so today im like i havnt had a cigar in weeks! ( i enjoyed sitting outside and smoking a cigar and reading) so i stopped and bought a cigar came home and got my book and smoked it. well some of it. i got sick. really sick. like almost vomited and was super light headed. i was like omg im NEVER doing this again. and i NEVER am...i had i guess cleaned that out of my system....
i am heading into a green smoothie program starting tomorrow and i cant wait. i need it to get all this out of me again!
lesson learned. VERY learned.....

It's hard leaving all our former treats and splurges behind.....


We need to develop new ones.


Like a raw virgin mojito I'll be working on tomorrow after harvesting some of my mint!!!

Im drinking some spring water and i ate an apple. im just trying to leave that behind. i am serious. it was bad....i havnt had a reaction to anything like that before. it just proved that it really was a POISON that i am sticking into myself.....

I was reading a book review on the china study at amazon.....

The reader mention they wish they hadn't read it (taken the blue pill) because reading it was like taking the red pill and seeing the matrix for what it really was.


We are the few stragglers in Zion, Neo! Get used to it!


You took the red pill!

There is no turning back!

Chalk it up to a learning experience!
It's not uncommon at all for people when they have that first cigarette to become sick - it's because the body recognizes it as an unwanted toxic substance. Then, the effects of the nicotine kick in and get people hooked, and they acclimate fast. Then they have the devil of a time getting OFF the cigs! Reason I mention this is because your body got cleaned out from eating raw, and once again recognized smoking for what it is.

Hi Matthew, you're very smart and very in tune with your body. Thank you for sharing your experience here. It's a great reminder.

Matt, you are so NOT stupid. Love what is and love yourself.You get to choose how to feel about this. Choose powerfully?

See this upset not as an exterior circumstance to be remedied(or "fixed") but as an interior condition to be understood.

So sorry, i hope you feel good soon.

Green smoothie will help for sure. I like drinking a nice smoothie while reading, maybe you will develop a new healthy tradition to do while reading

Best Wishes!

I like to eat grapes while I read. :)

You aren't stupid, just live and learn.
