Reciprocity

Sorry .... not a fan. I just don't find that black elicits any positive emotion and isn't that one of the things new quitters need - positive energy?

Huge congrats on reaching 7 years D!! What an accomplishment and on top of that, the hundreds of others you've helped and encouraged along the way is most honourable! Hope you find a way to treat yourself with something special today.

Going to the dentist today. Have to wear a mask until the Dr. starts probing with the instruments of pain. You have to telephone them from outside before you can even get in and once you do it's hand sanitizer, temp. check. Then they hand you a sanitized tablet with 4 pages of question to fill out and sign before you go into the dentist's torture chamber You're almost longer doing all the prelim stuff than you are getting your face drilled

7 Not starting off great for you again today D

Got it fixed and back together. I checked it and it's not leaking from the fill valve anymore Any other issues ...... not my fault

NOPE! That smoking is pleasurable is an addict's illusion!

Fixing one of the toilets that is just leaking a little bit of water from the fill valve after each flush. If I were a betting man ............ I'd bet comments on this will be going to the curse thread in pretty short order Stay tuned!

OK 20!

Great job today Steven! You have a lot of people supporting you here. Don't hesitate to rely on them to help you along through the tough times. We've all been there so we DO get it.

This is part of the quit process we ALL go through Linda. We've conditioned our minds to go directly to having a smoke when anything out of the normal happens to us, whether that be stress, illness and yes, even happy events. Your job now is to find ways to break that thought process. It WILL happen the longer you go not smoking and refusing to listen to those junkie thoughts we ALL had early in our quits. You're doing great in these trying times. Keep pushing forward doing exactly what you're doing. Lots of wise people here to help you along

I know ....... it's Great isn't it?!

Nope!

I'm glad both of you are starting again. Maybe think about using each other for special support as "quit buddies". You know, PM each other at times when something relevant comes up? What you both need to focus on is what the circumstances were and what your thought process was when you relapsed. That's the thought process that needs to change this time around. I hope to see ya both around, active on the forum. It does help even if you think you have nothing new to contribute. Often just talking about what's happening is beneficial to you (and others).
