It's not an SOS. Just ran into some challenges and could feel the draw towards smoking. It was my companion in the dark and messy spaces for decades so it makes sense. Reminding myself it is not a failure to think about it. Its too soon to not still see smoking as my go-to when I feel emotionally vulnerable. The cigarettes told me they were helping me to feel stronger. We all know that was a lie. I am shifting to gratitude that I did not have to smoke. Truthfully, I don't want to. I can feel the smoke penetrating my lungs and the pain that comes from inhaling after a period of abstinence. Then the headache. Then the self-flagellation that comes from giving up 5 minutes before the miracle. We have all been there before. Thanks for listening and hope your evening is peaceful.

NOPE.

Good job @KEL!!! Hope your evening is peaceful also!

@KEL nice work being grateful for finding the will to avoid smoking. Old habits create grooves in our minds that take quite a bit of time to fill in but only one slip and they can be as deep as they ever were. Gratitude is a great tool for filling in those old ruts. Stay strong and have a beautiful restful night.

Well done @KEL for seeing through nicotines lies! And you're so right, you would have felt terrible for giving up all the time you've invested to be free of this terrible habit. And remember each time you get through a trigger it gets weaker until its just a passing thought of days gone by..... Like my uncle would have said, "ya done good kid"

I've always hated ants and considered them the devils own and now I'm even more convinced of it lol. But I do feel bad for the lady bugs....

Well done @KEL! What a glorious day you ended up having!

Spaetzle egg noodles

Both are fantastic! Denis is one of my favorite guitarists.

I agree totally, no matter how hard I try I can't come close to my Mom or MIL. I like to say they taught me to love good food. They are both gone now but my weight is worse now. Just old age and the fact that I can't do many active things like in my youth.

Great topic. These days I find most foods are happy foods for me but going back in memory - mom's fish. Did not realize until much later in life the value of what she made at the time.

Howdy!

My sister told me the other day that cigarettes are $83 a carton in our area. Don't know why that shocked me.....but, it did. Cost was a big determining factor in my sticky quit, so I felt thankful that I went for it and quit. You find strength from within yourself that you never knew you had, so whatever your reasons are - please believe in yourself. Commit to the quit. This wonderful group of quitters is proof. We have done it. You CAN do it.
