Hi christa, i think like you do and the others. They arent nicotine free . They made a lateral move from cigarettes to e-cigg/vape. I used blue and vape for a short time, reason was i still wanting my nicotine. As saz mentioned, addicts are full of denial

We pretty much have an anti-vaping train. You can see all the information about vaping in the new category that MQuitter set up HERE I think one person quit by using vape a few years ago. But, she quit smoking AND vaping. For me, quitting smoking meant dealing successfully with my nicotine addiction and not just a delivery system. Addicts are addicts are addicts and full of denial. I know, I was for forty something years !

Cristina: IMO smoke free is smoke free, Vaps and Ecigs are smoke free but not Nicotine free, the adiction is nicotine,. Yes they lost a bunch of bad crap that was in the smoke, but they still have the Habit and adiction, they have not broken free of anything. I feel it is their choice as it was to smoke or not to smoke and to say they are smoke free is technically correct, but dont get offended, they are still addicts and that is also fact.

NOPE!

Nope. Smoking is not an option.

NOPE

NOPE!

I have writen about my wildlife refuge and the Ranch, how special they are to me. Got me to wondering what is other peoples Sanctuary Like? So please tell me Discribe that Place where Time stops and your soul is refreshed.

I am so glad to hear your family are circling the wagons, Linda. Please take care of yourself, friend. Take more Vit C and Zinc to ward off flu/cold or just plain collapse. Eat well, water water water. You are under tremendous stress and must take extra care you don't get sick (especially since you are in and out of germ factories). Your quit is strong. You are powerful. We love having you in our corner, that's for sure.

Nope

It used to be the kitchen table at my grandma's but after she passed it was sold so...anywhere I can sit and hear the crash and roar of the ocean....preferably west coast Vic or just over the SA boarder...there needs to be brine in the air and the waves??. .. you need to be able to hear the waves before you see them...there is no other sound like the great Southern Ocean pounding into the coastline....it reminds you how insignificant you really are but Ina humbling way best place to just be sittin in the sand back to the cliffs hearing the crash and roar...add a decent thunderstorm... perfection.

The sky is not less blue because the blind man does not see it

Christa: Remember the King that was spoofed by the con artists that the clothes they sold him could not be seen by the dumb, only intiligent people could see them ? Kust picture this not so bright people walking around in clothes only they can see, smile and overt your eyes, i am sure iot is not a pretty sight

Dear friend, Please do not pick up your mother at the hospital. If she is capable of signing herself out, she is capable of finding a ride home. You are not responsible. I am so glad you are keeping your quit, protecting your quit. I hope you start protecting yourself too.

I'm really sorry to hear that now your mom is sick too Linda. I'm glad you have us and this board to vent to. Quitting is so hard with no extenuating circumstances and you've proved time and time again just how strong you are. No you will not smoke. You will not give anyone or anything a reason to break your quit. You are my hero and proof that anyone can quit and keep their quit no matter what is thrown at them. You are in my thoughts and no matter the outcome you will have peace of mind that you did all you could do for your parents in spite of how badly they treated you...xoxo

Okay Opah. I am a little confused. Don't you go hunting for deer? Did you shoot a pig? You are talking about preparing pork. Linda: I Hunt, Deer, Bear, Hog, Fowl ect. If it is legal and Tasty I am all in. You see being a naturalist, a nature loving, free range, naturally feed, antibiotic and hormon free. fanatic. I believe animals should not be locked up in pins and I make every effort not to support the meat industry. But that is just a personal belief of Mine. But yes it was a 325 lbs wild Boar that supplied 180 lbs of fresh pork, 5 days of Phyisical activity, Clean Ranch airm Crispy icy cold mornings and evenings, The Ranch is Beautiful, refreshing to the Body and soul, hearing that Valley come to life every Morning I am there, the Turkeys come down from their roosts, the quail calling to group up and yes the Cows trumpiting that the New day is Here. Sorry for the run on there are two places on Earth right now that Captivate me: that is the wildlife refuge and the Ranch I volunteer to caretake. They are that Moment, the peace and surenity that you want to last forever !

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I did not go. The rehab transported my mom to the hospital with my dad. My husband stopped, on his way home from work, and picked up my dad's belongings. This actually may be a blessing because my dad is in regular hospital room and my mom will just stay overnight with him. This way there will be someone in and out of the room and can keep an eye on her. Have kept in touch with nurses. My dad does have pneumonia and the nurses feel he will be there for at least three days. Have contacted my brother, in California, and he is going to come home for a week. My husband, son and daughter (which is unusual) are all circling the wagon and making sure I get a break. In the meantime, I am grateful you are there to hear me vent and guide me. My quit has really been put to the test and so far it is secure!

G’day nope...Nope....NOpe....NOPe....NOPE C

Hi guys. I’m an old member of qsmb and not to sure what’s happened to it. Anyway I use to celebrate my quit every year by dropping in and letting everyone know I’m still ok. I’ve now stumbled across this forum and it seems to have all the right signals for helping people get there life back. so l thought I’d sign up and start afresh and hopefully give a bit of inspiration to anyone that’s just started there new journey. It’s funny but most things in my brain are forgotten in a few weeks but the day I gave up the weed I’ll never forget and that’s because my life changed for the better from that day on. I think back and can remember how hard it was and can only say that it does get better as time goes by and before you know it you look back like me and can’t believe it’s been 7 years. I’m sure that if I hadn’t given up when I did I wouldn’t be in the health I am in today that’s for sure. So all I can say is if your truly giving it ago then please hang in there and it will get better. I know everybody says that but it’s true and it does get better as every day passes. So good luck to everyone of you for starting this new chapter in your life and please keep the faith because it’s so worth it in the long run and I wish you all the luck in the world to crack it.

I go to the poconos (PA), the pace is so much slower than NY and so relaxing. Nature is refreshing and many of us need the break from the concrete jungle (NY). Watching a black bear with her cubs is a great sight (from a distance). The lakes and water falls, ahhh.

You are not foolish, Linda. You are stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. I am sorry I was four hours too late ! There is no understanding or logic to your parent's behaviour towards you, it is abominably wrong wrong wrong. Your Mom can scoop up your dad's belongings and get a jitney to the hospital. But, I bet you are there already, poor thing. OK, tomorrow is a new day. Take The Day OFF. Nurture yourself. Get a plan together if you can. Draw the line in the sand. "If you continue to abuse me, I will no longer drive you anywhere or help you in any way" Remember we are on your side and remember that you are loved.

Bless you Linda, you can't help how your parents are, they are certainly very lucky to have a daughter like you, who still runs around for them, even though many would,nt. ((hugs) )Stay strong

Hi Linda Well done for keeping your resolve. Like quitting Tough love isn't easy but it has to be done. Stay strong and Tuff.
