About Me
My name is Mike, I live one block from the beach in northeastern Florida. I have quit smoking before, my last quit lasted for 4 years, I thought my addiction was long gone. I decided to buy a pack after a bad day and BOOM, I was a full time smoker again. That was four years ago, and I'm tired of being an addict. I can't imagine that smoking helps me in any way. So, I'm trying to be positive, and smoking has nothing positive to offer :-)

Treatments
- Easyway To Stop Smoking Working / Worked
- I chewed the gum for five days and then read Allen Carr's book and decided to stop the gum. I'm glad I did, I was worried about dragging out the symptoms for months with the gum.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- Reading other people's struggles help me realize I'm not alone. Reading other people's posts who have quit for long periods inspire me!
Close Retinitis Pigmentosa
I was diagnosed with RP in December 2003. I have about 20 degrees of field vision. It has effected my life and career, but I try to move on with a positive attitude.
Open Blindness & Visual Impairment
Type: Legally BlindHi everyone, I am 39 years old, I am legally blind from RP. I still have very good center vision, but poor peripheral and very little night vision. Just looking for others to share experiences with.
