Reciprocity

Edit was a useful function. Sad to see that has been eliminated

I'm going with #2 as the lie. Although silver dollars we available back in the day, you pretty much had to go to the bank and get them cuz they weren't widely used in general day to day transactions. It's possible that happened but a bit unusual perhaps? (It's probably #1 cuz that's just nuts )

I'm guessing D is looking for more details on how to do this? [img]https://i.imgur.com/rybvAmn.jpg[/img]

2 You're a real trooper D!

Nope!

Giving in mentally to a craving, loosing your focus happens Steven but the reason the SOS is so important is that it means you have to type out what you are experiencing then wait just a little while until you start getting replies. It's that delay time that could save your quit! It's not necessarily what any of us might say to you but more that the craving will have subsided at least a little and you have time to really think about what you are contemplating doing by lighting up again. If you haven't already, write an SOS message to yourself in advance. There's a thread in on the SOS page called Pre-Respond to Your Own SOS. After you send an SOS message for others to respond to, go there and read what you wrote to yourself in a more lucid moment. It all helps Steven

I just noticed something else missing ...............

@Doreensfree, you are perhaps starting to notice high hazy cloudiness on a clear day where you live courtesy of the fires burning west coast USA. We started noticing it here a few days ago. They say the jet stream has carried it as far as western Europe now. It's so high up in the atmosphere that it isn't affecting air breathing quality though.

18 Hey @Petraback for a woppin'

I meant, go play with him where ever he still is. That'll get you outta the house for a good long while and we can have our way with the game 14

There's an acronym quitters often refer to .... N.O.P.E. That stands for: Not One Puff Ever. The reason this acronym is so important in the quit community is that it is the only hard and fast rule for putting your nicotine addiction to sleep for good! Once you quit, you must never take another puff because when you do take a puff, it immediately awakens your addiction again and it will once again start screaming to be fed. If one puff a day keeps your addiction at full strength, just imaging what 4 cigs a day is doing. You are actually making things harder on yourself smoking 4 a day than just quitting altogether! Quit completely just once and get the withdrawal over with once! Stop putting yourself through constant hard withdrawal @hesteralumni23
