Congratulations, @darcy on your first week of freedom ! You have done spectacular work on building a strong and sturdy quit, thank you for sharing your experience with us. Please celebrate and reward yourself ! The first week is a crucible. You Quit Smoking !

NOPE

Triumphantly leaving youth

3 not for long

Gatherings, like weddings are banned in New Orleans. It depends on the City and the State.

New Orleans has shut down, thankfully considering the risks. Bars, nightclubs & casinos closed Malls closed Entertainment venues closed Gyms & fitness centers closed Restaurants take-out/delivery only Public & private gatherings banned

I'm hunkered down and will be for a long while, I think. I'm a quasi recluse anyway so, it's not much different than real life lately but, I know other people are in real trouble, what are my friends going to do about rent with the bars & restaurants closing ? and then the concern about getting ill. gah.

2 hey everybody

This was the best $60 I have ever spent, a hand-held bidet

NOPE

Congratulations on Day 5 of your Freedom ! Often craves/urges are signals from the body that it needs something. We used to just pull out a smoke, now we can see what is going on. Are you Hungry/thirsty, Angry/emotional, Lonesome/bored, Tired ? (H.A.L.T.) Riffing On H.A.L.T

Try another yawn

Fortunately, a cretin exits suddenly Necks

Getting my ducks in a row for a self quarantine. I'm a healthy 64 and want to stay that way. Since I don't have to go out...I won't. NOLA is cancelling festivals, closed schools, limiting restaurant/bar hours, restricting crowd size. Still people are not 'social distancing'. Drunk tourists (and locals) continue partying down on the streets. So, other than a quick scurry to pick up some parcels later in the week, I am safe behind my shutters. Grateful to be home. My friend in Lisbon says it is SO quiet. I worry about Marco, he is in his late 70's and smokes like a whore in church. Anyone else facing lock downs ?

Decidedly antisocial yawns

No, there is nothing sexy about smoking. In fact, the increased blood flow when you quit makes quitters v. attractive ! Sex, Health, Money and Time The addict's voice will romanticize smoking. We all had to quell that voice. Here are some examples of the addict's voice and our responses. Red Flags

yay ! The Chicks, Triumphant again ! Big O

I am so glad you are back, Darcy, and are rocking this quit. Congratulations on Five days of Freedom. The return of Taste and Smell is well worth celebrating ! Your rosy glow is returning, your cilia are busy scrubbing themselves free of tar and other poisons. Breathe deep, You Quit Smoking !

hey, @darcy, I saw your pre-response to an SOS. I remember, Kendra. Build yourself a powerful quit, Darcy. You won't have to ever do this again !

bump.

Well, you probably know all about Cabin Fever, @Angeleek. Stay focused. Don't smoke.
