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

NOPE - I don't smoke anymore.

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

It might not feel that way but you are doing great, Heather. You are going through hell week and it can live up to its name. A lot of your feelings are normal. Keep fighting through this as things do get better. Stay smoke free and you will not have to go through these rough first few days again. Keep up the great work.

It is Halloween evening and I have several bags of candy for Trick or Treaters (we usually get a lot in this neighborhood). We are also in a tornado watch and there is a front a couple of hours to the west of here with some very severe storms. Could be an interesting night for the Trick or Treaters.

Welcome to the board, Old Man Coffee. Congratulations on 18 days smoke free. Stick close to this site. There is plenty of support and knowledge you can gain here to stay smoke free. Keep up the great work!

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever. Life is much better leaving the poison of nicotine addiction behind you. Please pledge to not smoke. You will be glad you did.

NOPE - Not One Puff Ever & Happy Halloween!

Congratulations on 3 years smoke free, @Hope2Nope That is a great accomplishment. I hope you do something big to celebrate today.

Welcome aboard, forestgreen, and congratulations on 7 months quit. There is a lot of support and knowledge here so settle in and enjoy this place. It is great to have you here.
