Aw, let it rip Doreen. This thread left the tracks a long time ago.

Riding in style!

Rafting the Ocoee tomorrow. Waverunners on Parksville Lake on Sunday. Cookout at mom and dad's on Monday. Lots of water, cold beer, and grilled meats...good times! Have a good one everybody.

NOPE!

And regardless of how large the garage is, typically the backdoor is designated "exit only."

Welcome aboard gloworm. If you found quitting drinking easier than expected, I suspect you may find quitting smoking far easier than you expect. It's not as difficult as it is often made out to be and you expressed that you can "go a long time without a cigarette." You have refrained from smoking while feeling some symptoms of withdrawal before, so you have practice already. The withdrawal symptoms are agitators but have no real power...and they go away in a matter of minutes. If you don't re-introduce nicotine into your system for three-days, you will be free of the poison. It's all mental after that and education about the myths and lies of cigarettes will help you conquer the psychological aspects of quitting. As far as e-cigs go...My advice would be to commit to cold turkey first. I have no personal experience with vaping, but it makes sense to me to simply go ahead and get it done. Ultimately the route you choose is a matter of personal preference, but cold turkey is so simple. Congratulations on making a great decision for yourself. You will reap many benefits from quitting.

-5 Excessively patting yourself on the back can lead to rotator cuff issues.

Mr. Rogers was right, you can do it. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

The easiest way is to go to YouTube. When the video you want to post is up right click at the top on the address bar. The address will turn blue and give you options. Click "copy" and then come back here, right click again and click "paste." The video will show up as an address, but when you click post the video will appear. Nancy explained it to me when I first got here, so...shout out to Nancy!

All I can do is shake my head when I think of how much I contributed to big tobacco. Not one more cent...NOPE!

That's awesome Doreen. We just have to keep spreading the good news and hope that those still enslaved by cigarettes will give themselves the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of quitting.

Calm down and don't forget to breathe. You are getting yourself so worked up you're not really giving yourself a chance to succeed. Ask yourself one question: what is the worst thing that can happen to me if I don't smoke a cigarette the next time the urge hits? Quitting is a challenge, but very doable. Give yourself some credit, you've dealt with anxiety before (we all have) and you lived to tell about it.

NOPE!

I'm still settling in to my new normal, but I'm finding it superior to my old normal. Had I known then what I know now, I would have quit years ago.
