Can't say ..... I'm a Bad Boy

In our house, the warden & I don't have any real houseplants other that this one lonely African Violet that we've had like forever! I don't even remember when we got it but it's been 20 or 30 years I expect. In our old house this thing would get a couple or three flowers in the summertime and nothing in the winter but it always survived. We moved about 3 years ago and brought 'The Plant'. Stuck it somewhere in the dining room near a window but the direct light conditions are not great there. It hasn't flowered since we moved here. About 2 months ago we were moving some crap around for some reason and the plant ended up on a cabinet near a window in the front room. I noticed it was getting direct sunlight for a couple hours each morning. Well ..... low & behold after about a month, this thing developed a flower, then two , then .............. Here's what it looks like today! I've never seen such a transformation in a plant ever in my life! I think it's trying to tell us it's found it's Happy Place

My favorite Star! Congrats on 7 Years AMAZING!

Early quits mostly such big time emotions! But, this is the timeframe when you develop your coping skills. Whether those be going for a walk, having a shower mid-day just because it distracts you or whatever! Doesn't matter as long as you don't end up listening to your junkie brain telling you to light up. This is the real battle ..... ignoring what your junkie thoughts are telling you to do. Understand that this doesn't last forever. It's part of your journey but in retrospect, it's an instant. A very challenging one but just an instant. Get beyond that and you'll be fine!

There may be a few people I wanna stick needles in?

That's a good one. Explains a lot of how suddenly our lives seem a little empty just after quitting

WOW! 9 Years is a pretty solid quit. Congrats Jenny!

-6 You know what this game really is?

You will find all the support here on Quit Train that you want or need. As you know, in the end it comes down to you but there's a ton of information and support here to help you along the way. Stick around and stay active; that's the key! Be involved in your own quit and the quits of others. Just responding to other quitters strengthens your own quit. Yeah; weird I know but so true!!

Oh Geez! - Fore!

1 hour and 1 challenge at a time in the early days! Yes it's tough at first but the rewards are many and important to your future life.
