G’day In OZ we have Dry July. It’s firstly to raise money for the cancer council. The secound is a good time to reset your relationship with alcohol. You not giving up forever so it’s only a month. But in that month you get to not drink in those setting that you normally would. This year was particularly big as there were a few folk that drank their way through the COVID lockdowns. I did the dry july this year and it was a reset for me. Now that first beer was pretty good but I had only the one and that wasn’t for a few days into August. So it was a reset for me and I’ve certainly lost that attitude of bugger it that beer was good I’d better have 6. Creeps up on you.4 points

I ran across this article this morning and found it very interesting. At least I know why I could eat a pack of Oreos in one sitting now. Fricking Nicodemon scientist engineered them to be so totally irresistible, that’s why! So happy that I haven’t bought any in well over a year. I wonder just how bare my shelves would be if I threw out all of the foodstuffs in them that were made by tobacco owned companies? https://georgiastarnews.com/news/tobacco-company-owned-food-brands-more-tempting-than-competitors-addiction-study/tcsquare/2023/10/02/3 points

I love Oreos! I should have figured they were made by tobacco companies. They're not only expensive but measured by weight not volume. There's nothing more frustrating then opening the pack for the first time and seeing a third of one of the rows empty Thanks for sharing....2 points

I've always thought that someone still smoking or unable to quit needs to see that others are also like them ie unable to stick with the quit. It's more about themselves than anything else (which ... isn't it always?).2 points

Lust4Life Quit Date: Sept 26 2016 Posted October 9, 2018 Those of you that know me from QSMB know that I was a secret smoker. Closet smoker. Naïve smoker. Pick a label any label. I lived in constant fear. Constant worry. Fear of being outed. So much worry. Which cracks me up now because smokers stink no matter what is done to mask it. Pretty sure my smoking was the pink elephant in the room no one talked about. Yay! I had an ongoing checklist. Do I have air freshener in my car, face wipes, baby powder? Mints, gum, mouthwash?. Do I have time to drive around the block again and keep smoking? Never ending cycle of worry. Before leaving for a night out- do I have enough cigs? Better get another pack. I never bought cigs by the carton. Only real smokers bought cigarettes by the carton. Right? Hahahahaha! Oh my. When out in public; the worry of being spotted was ever present. Go outside around the building, downwind, hide behind that tree. Constant worry. When home – did I empty and hide the ashtrays? Did I sweep away the ashes in case we have a drop in visitor? Can my neighbor see or smell the smoke? Are the bugs out yet? In the South, we have some bugs. Your home can be as clean as an OR and you’ll still have some bugs inside. Outside…game on. Gigantic mutant roaches that fly. Mosquitoes that steal gallons of your blood from one bite. Hurricane Michael is knocking on the shores of my home State. I checked with family-everyone has everything. He’ll barrel through some more of the SE. We have prepared and have what we need. Gas tank is full in both cars. We have batteries. We have containers of water in the freezer. Pantry is stocked. All devices are perched on chargers until the power goes. And, it will go. Matches for candles and grills. The cigarettes are at the store. I don’t have any. I am not worried about that. Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/11212-one-less-thing-to-worry-about/1 point

You're absolutely correct. I was one of those inconsiderate smokers trapped so deeply in my addiction that I felt I just had to get me fix and of course I minimized the inconvenience I was imposing upon others - in my case it was my wife who had quit years before I did. I would justify my urges to smoke in her car by cracking the passenger window open a bit, thinking all the smell would be sucked out of the car. I completely understand the imposition I was making now that I'm a non-smoker but back then, my addiction was calling the shots; not me as a person! It's actually quite shocking how there are two completely different perspectives between a smoker and a non-smoker and you simply can't realize that until you've lived in both camps!1 point
