Great job MLMR! 9 MOnths quit and 3/4 of the way to the Lido Deck Next month you'll be into double digits with your quit. You've worked hard, adding tools to your toolbox that has helped you overcome challenges you have faced along the way. You should be very proud of the depth of the understanding you have built not only about your addiction but about just how strong you have been throughout your journey. Be sure to celebrate this milestone as you look forward to the final push to the Lido5 points

Yes, yes!! Thanks! 9 months - yet another magic milestone. Here I am, 9 months away from my last cigarette! Proud, happy, sleeping better than ever. Me and anxiety have an understanding and I do pretty well with that now. There was a time, between 5 - 7 months I think, where I went crazy because quitting seemed to dominate my every day. That is sooo over now! Thrilled about how quickly and unexpected things changed, eventually. Upwards and onward, Lido here I come!5 points

It would be chilly down the prom...love it there but prefer the west coast and great Ocean road. Did you know great Ocean road is the largest and longest war memorial in the world?3 points

People can get addicted to healthy things in life too. Got to be honest and say I don't buy into a lot of the psychology of smoking. I enjoyed smoking but saying that out loud doesn't mean I'm deluded, uneducated on smoking or I can't quit. Allen Carr and Joel made the psychology of addiction fashionable. People managed to quit for years without feeling they ever had to succumb to the "you don't enjoy it - you're just satisfying your withdrawal" mentality. I love butter and eat loads of it on fresh bread. I enjoy it but that doesn't mean it's not bad for me. Heart attacks are just as likely from a bad fatty diet as they are from smoking. So yes I enjoyed smoking as much as I do my bread and really thick butter, fried food, stodgy puddings and alcohol. So personally I definitely think a lot about quitting all the things I enjoy2 points

My wee little nicotine receptors were always deeply gratified when the first hit of nicotine hit my lungs. Same thing as "enjoyed"? Dunno. Love this.1 point

Speaking of chicken ....... the wife took off today to go see he sister and told me to order pizza or whatever. Didn't feel like take-out so decided to cook me some chicken thighs on the BBQ. First of all was the brine to soak the raw chicken thighs in for a few hours before cooking. 1 quart water; 1/4 cup Kosher Salt plus a bunch of spices. May have added a couple shots whiskey too. After brining the chickens in the fridge for about 4 hours it's time to put some dry rub on them, front & back then into a cooking pan with a stick of melted butter. Turn the BBQ on and get the temp to 300F Close the lid and go have a beer while that chicken simmers in the meted butter and dry rub spices: Check the internal meat temp after about 3/4 hour. It's gotta be 165 degrees at least. 119.6 degrees; not ready yet: When they're up to temp. it's time to sauce 'em and caramelize that sweet glaze by cooking direct on the grill for another 5-10 mins. Last step is to plate it with some mashed spuds and a little cauliflower with cheese sauce and dig in! Brining the chicken pieces before cooking makes that meat melt in your mouth tender and simmering in a butter bath with dry rub adds a subtle flavor to the meat that you just can't get with standard BBQ chicken. It's more time consuming than ordering a Pizza for sure but in the end, it was pretty yummy1 point

I did that with grocery shopping! Went out once and left 3 or 4 bage at the store somehow. Haven't had to do the shopping since and that was probably 20 years ago1 point
