NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

I have no freaking clue but I am curious to the answer. I saw 7:00 on the clock in your image and it made me think of this very random late 80's hair/glam metal song "Oh, It's 7:00, time for the party." I haven't heard this in years but this was the first song that entered my mind when I tried to dissect your artwork.

NOPE - never again.

Congratulations Heather. That first week is the toughest. Keep up the great work.

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

First off, thanks for posting an SOS. It is really important to reach out when you are struggling. Quitting smoking can be hard. It is both a physical and a mental addiction and those first few weeks can be really tough. But quitting and keeping the quit is very doable and is worth fighting for. Prior to joining a quit forum, I struggled greatly in trying to quit. I had several relapses and I HATED myself for that. I didn't know what I was doing wrong but I later learned that the only thing you can "do wrong" with a quit is light back up. I'm sorry you are struggling but you are doing nothing wrong. We've all been through this before and you just need to fight through it. Do whatever you have to do as long as it is NOT smoking. You are almost a month smoke free and you are doing everything right as far as I am concerned. Smoking now will only make you feel miserable. Keep the quit, things do get much better with time.

I'm sorry you have to be away from your family but smoking will not help this, or any other situation. All smoking does is make things worse. Keep the quit. You will be glad you did.

For @Sazerac Grandpa Elliot and some wonderful kids from the Playing for Change series And more Roberto Luti

@Sazerac I really like watching these Playing for Change videos. If you start watching them, you will notice certain people will regularly show up in many of the episodes. Roberto Luti is in a lot of these videos. There are also a lot of New Orleans street performers as well (Grandpa Elliot is one of my favorites) Great stuff. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=playing+for+change

Welcome to the Lido Deck, @Wantsit Congratulations on 1 year smoke free. Great job!

NOPE - Smoking sucks!

Great to hear from you, @Wantsit Congratulations to you on the eve of 1 year of freedom.

Congratulations @abbynormal 10 months smoke free is awesome!

The early weekends were tough for me too because of the extra free time. As old man coffee just said, try to fill your new free time by trying new things. Also, spending time here can also help kill time and keep your mind off the smokes. @HeatherDianne and @Old Man Coffee you are both doing great!

I had quite a few trick or treaters here and we were under a tornado watch. It was both a fun and somewhat eerie Halloween night
