They used to think I was ADHD, before they realized it was Asperger's. Believe me I understand not being able to concentrate. It frustrated my mother, my teachers, my kids, my ex and me. And for a person who lives in their head as much as I do, not being able to think straight is like being tossed into a tornado. I'm hoping this will pass. That I'll adjust. My mother was 73 when she died, she started smoking in her early 30s. I was nearly 16 when I started, I'll be 49 in a few days. I fully plan on being around for a whole LOT longer. Hell, it's taken me this freaking long just to grow up.

Dude, whether tis alcoholism, heroine addiction or cigarettes addiction, you can get out of it with willpower only. I know a few people who did. My chinese kung-fu master for one who smoked for 20 years and stopped at 35. My friends aunt who smoked 40 years and stopped. My grand mother (even though she a skanky bitch) smoked ... *counts* 71 years .. and stopped.

They all stopped in one shot.
My master stopped out of will.
My friends aunt stopped out of will.
My grand mother stopped out of will.

and guess what.

My grandmother and grandfather were severe alcoholics for 50+ years .. grandfather died and grandmother stopped at the same time as she stopped smoking.

Nothing forced her. She could still drink with her meds, she could still smoke. She stopped purely out of will.

With will power, you can do anything that is considered possible.

Sorry AB, you did, blame my very scattered mind at the moment. I thought you were talking about ADHD. For what it's worth, I was only diagnosed a couple of years ago. I've lived my LIFE this way, having to come up with my own coping skills.

I just can't advocate anyone starting smoking. It's harmful to you, and any living thing exposed to it. If you want some good information on dealing with Asperger's (or the actual diagnostic criteria) PM me and I'll give you some links.

Thanks DC, I slipped today, but there is always tomorrow. I WILL do this. And yes, I've been following the news regarding the insula (the part of brain in question). So far all the research has been done on stroke victims. Not sure I'm willing to go quite that far (yet). Though they are currently working on a drug that will suppress the insula. This would be incredible as it's not just smoking that would be impacted as this is the part of the brain that controls addiction.
