I’m Growing Habaneros and Jolokia

April 16th, 2010

I love eating peppers and the hotter it gets the more I crave about it. The hottest pepper recorded is Jolokia and next to it are the Habaneros, since these stuff are not sold locally here, I plan to grow them. I already bought some seeds in the internet, collected old pails (pots) and bought recently seaweed fertilizer. Soon I’ll be acquiring some soil and as soon as the seeds arrive I’ll be more than ready in planting them. Because of my excitement of this gardening a whole bunch of peppers in containers, I put up another blog to document everything and you might want to follow it up if you are also passionate about peppers. I’m new in gardening so if you could share some new ideas, I’d appreciate a lot.

So what’s this stuff gotta do with quit smoking, well, if you are a smoker reading this, I want to ask you, isn’t it wonderful to do the things you like without smoking?! Well you could be passionate in something different or a hobby for that matter like raising chickens or pets and it’s great to be doing these things if you are not smoking. I thought before that I will be chained to this slavery forever but I was proven wrong, now I’ve already removed the associations and things are getting better and better ever since the day I quit.

So if you haven’t done yet or if you are planning to quit, QUIT now, be healthy and save a bunch of money and start doing the things you are passionate about like growing peppers.

Testimonial – this is a contributed article from Olivia.

This is my sixth day of not smoking a cigarette. I started smoking at the age of 15; I am 35 now. 20 years…yikes!! I am using the patch and it is helping a great deal. But, using them makes me have crazy nightmares and dizzy spells. I can’t concentrate and I eat more, as if my blood sugar has plummeted suddenly. Orange juice works best for this problem.

I tried the gum in the past, but it didn’t help at all. I feel very confident that I will not pick up another cigarette. However, the urge always haunts me. Triggers are the worst. Now, I can smell the stench of stale, old, and funky cigarettes smoked in the past. The aroma is in my clothes(closet and drawers), furniture, rugs, and every room throughout my apartment. Gross! I never realized how pervasive the smoke really was until I quit. Cigarettes took my sense of smell away. Now, the smell makes my heart beat fast, as if I am salivating for a smoke.

I now detest the mere idea of ever smoking cigarettes again. I even thought of a scenario that put me in the position of being out socially (partying) and having just one. The thought of doing so is repugnant. I can’t even envision putting another cigarette to my lips. The pain that I experienced due to the withdrawal symptoms alone deters me from wanting to ever smoke again.

Rudy here, thank you very much for sharing your experience.

If we can quit smoking so can you, believe in yourself, quit smoking today!
