shape I understand, quitting smoking is incredibly hard. I quit drinking, smoking weed, and other habits but I think cigarettes were by far the hardest for me. But, it's been almost 4 years for me now cigarette free. I did it partly by just cutting down for a while, making certain rules like no smoking in the car, etc little by little. Also getting sober from alcohol just naturally helped for obvious reasons. Though what finally got me to quit was kind of on accident lol... I did a cleanse where I ate super clean, like only ate raw veggies, and had a smoke a little while into it. It made me so fucking sick, like omg, to this day cig smoke makes me nauseous. Weird thing is i had made myself sick from cigs plenty of times before, like getting hammered and smoking 2 packs in one night type thing. I'd feel like ass the next day. But this was different... This was like food poisoning style lol. Anyway, I guess the point is I think you'll get there when it's right for you. You're obviously thinking about it which is the first step, but I think you have to just be ready to do it. If you're not, then you're not. Happy to talk about it with you tho if you ever want to!

If I ever propose again I hope I don’t have to prep much. I would rather just be prepared and have it be spontaneous. No clue to her it’s about to happen by making a weird day of it and going to a nostalgic spot etc. Romantic yes but also kinda gives away the end game if she catches on

I saw a hot girl at the gym and I asked her if she had made a resolution. She said 'screw you!' I am really looking forward to 2018
I keep wondering what I will be doing in 2 years time, but I don't have 2020 vision.

Not a resolution, more the goal of starting Spinraza. Been a year since the approval and Duke still hasn't finalized the adult dosing program (even though they're dosing "grandfathered" adults under the pediatric program). Insurance situation is settled, genetic testings done, PT letter is drafted, just need Duke to file for preauth and we're good (well onto the table to find or make a hole in my spine). Once the 4 loading doses are done it's time to figure out "what's next" now that I've got a job where I can work anywhere.

-Get up a 14er on my mountain bike Is that physically possible? Ive done 5-6 of the easier ones and I don’t see how you could summit. Mt Bierstadt is one of the easiest I think, but the boulders at the top are huge. I did have a dude with C.P. pass me (on Mt. Quandary) once, but I’ve never seen anyone else with a disability on a 14er. Take pics! I haven’t done one in a few years, but the view is totally worth it. Scouted out one of the collegiate with a buddy of mine in his jeep. We made it all the way to the top in that thing... so definitely do-able. NOW gotta drop the weight and get a 6-8 hours gas tank built up... NO PROBLEM.. right? If you never fail at anything.. you aren't trying anything worth doing or expanding outside your comfort zone.

Let's see, I wouldn't strictly call these resolutions, but these are my goals heading into next year:
Make a serious effort to move out. I'm already saving well, I just need to start looking properly.
Stop eating junk. My teeth are somehow still attached to my gums. This can only be a miracle of science, or being lulled into a false sense of security before they all fall out as one.
Get out more socially and make more of an affort to do so. I make a point of going out every day when I can, but I seldom see anyone.
Under all the royal bravado I'm admittedly a very lonely man who just wants someone to talk to.
I know from here and a few friendships I have in the outside world that I'm a good sort. Not a 'nice guy' by any stretch but I'm eager to share time and company with new people.
To stop putting myself down. Even though I do it in jest the almost compulsivr frequency of which I do so is alarming and in hindsight, has been making me ill without me realising.

Finding a girlfriend seems to be a trend. I don’t want to just find a girlfriend. I hope to meet someone as loyal to me as I’m willing to be to them. When that happens chemistry seems to build naturally .

I am going to masturbate more often. I would but I don’t think that’s physically possible. If it is maybe I should change my resolution to masturbating less

I totally get it though. When people tell me all my awesome qualities I laugh them off on the inside. I could be the richest man in the world with movie star looks and I would still downgrade something about myself
