Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. After being a smoker of 20 sometimes more but strangely never less puffs a day for 30+ years . I started my final quit on 1of August this year. I had been promising myself I would quit but always found a million reasons why I couldn't do it at that time "I'll do it later" was my mantra..!! So I went to my local pharmacy to join their cessation programme. We decided 12 weeks of patches and lozenges, I blew into the carbon monoxide detector and .. oh my the alarm went crazy all the red lights were crazily flashing red.. I was in shock at that wee machine, I came out with my NRT stuff and my quit date (a few days later) and immediately lit up (well I was in shock and NEEDED a puff to calm down!! Right??) As I walked home I realised that that this experience (flashing lights and alarms) had scared the bejezus outa me and I knew the longer I left it the more the chance I would find a reason not quit on that date and just be back in that cycle of buy a pack, promise this is last pack then say ocht next time... buy pack, promise this is last pack then say ocht next time..!!! That was the day I went cold turkey and here I still am. Geez it's been a right roller coaster ride at times but things have really leveled out for me now and I am holding a really strong quit working on making it Titanium.. I should also say I am a member of another support forum but I would like to be part of this forum too as I know I can now help others struggling on their path. I hope this will be ok with you all ?

NOPE

Vigilante justice? Hell yeah!

NOPE!

NOPE - Day 6 now and tomorrow night will be my 1 week. This time its seems so much better than my last attempt a quitting!

Not the Stihl. I'm in. Besides, I could use a break from protecting arctic turf. A$$hole criminals. Sorry this happened, Bat. I hope they find them.

In

NOPE - I do not smoke anymore.

We are pretty lucky. We solve a lot. Some get everything back. Some get screwed too. I love getting confessions from them. You have to give them an "out" and then they admit to it all. Not their fault because.....and they will sing. People are dishonest about everything from their age to their taxes to their tipping waitress, but nobody likes to admit it without an excuse to why...lost job, got hooked on pills then went to heroin, but nobody sits down at the table and says "yeah I am a dirt ball thief". Once they write it all down I tell them "thanks for cooperation" and that statement is like the rope in the court room. Lawyer will say " what do you got? ". Written confession. Case closed.

Dam and blast !!!

They’ve been watching. Someone told someone about your stuff. This sh*t makes me so angry. I’m so tired of it.

12 Are you sure .. ?? I read it as 30 minutes rule..!!

11 Yep you sure did....

NOPE! Rather jump out the window!

The Chicks are not handling the losing streak very well.

Right now because of the holidays, the thieves are working extra hard. The rest of us are buying stuff, working more hours, preparing for the holidays etc. So, according to Murphy's law, some son of a bitch needs to ruin it. Where i work, not a day goes by during the holidays when someone isn't trying to walk out with stuff. Did other units get hit? Also, not sure if this matters now but was a police report filed? Not that the police can really recover stolen goods but the insurance may need the report. All that aside, it just sucks cause one cannot have much of anything cause some klepto thinks it is theirs to steal. The world hates a thief. It is why my neighbor has three Cane Corsos running around her property. Big mean ugly sons of bitch dogs. Wouldn't you just LOVE to been able though to walk in while the thieves were at work, pull your "protective piece", and be like, "Alright now what the f*** you doing...?" just to watch them crap their pants and beg you not to call the PD? Smoking? I am guessing we are talking NOT Benson and Hedges but instead Smith and Wesson?

The chicks will rise up again !!!!

Great job Rec. Feelin' good...lookin' good.

When you first start your quit you might envy those who still smoke. Then one day you realize you pity them. That's the day you quit.

+20!

The Quit has far reaching effects, all of which are good. Always something to look forward to in life, good to be around to see it. Today's or any day's artists - They will have that effect on their respective generations. People often think the music they grew up with is somehow "best". For me, that would be the 80's. For you, 60's perhaps? I am not familiar with those bands you went to see.

LOL

NOPE!! I miss the ticker!! Just sayin.....

Yes police came and nobody else was hit. Camera showed they made straight for my unit. Nobody else but me knew the contents or so I thought.

Thanks for the welcome, Nancy, Reciprocity and Doreensfree. I am looking forward to getting to know you all too

Karma is a biotch... they will get their's!!!

12 What about the "30 day - get to know you before posting here" rule?

Sorry to hear Bat. I know the feeling. Our house got robbed about 4 years ago right around this time of year. Those bastards even stole wrapped Christmas presents. The feeling of violation was the worst part of it I think. Hope everything was insured. I remember you posting pics of that bush cutter not long after I joined up here

Welcome, Wee Mee! The more the merrier!

9...whaha...sneaky sticks !!!

+10 Is she gone?

Aww this makes me angry...Robbin scum bags...I know how yoiu feel bat.. We were in bed one night when thieves decided to visit us..thankfully we didn't wakeup..who knows what might have happened.. They took all they could carry out from downstairs..I was scared to go to sleep for months....it still gives me chills ... I'm sorry buddy...

Never give up tyme...we will be here for you ....

Thanks buddy I knew I could count on you.

I'll bring the rope

the title of this thread, "slap slap slap slap"... Was it originally about Bakon enjoying himself to a princess Diana commemorative plate?

NOPE!!!

NOPE - I do not smoke anymore.
