Nope

Some see the light & some never do. It’s a shame really for those who choose to continue but we each of us have to make our own choices & live with the results.

Nope!

The "regular" TV cable service we have at home is bull sh*t!!!! Nothing but bachelor, bachelorette, and all sorts of other garbage "reality" shows. I've never seen anything further from reality actually! The only way I can watch a movie is netflix, dvd or pay per view. I don't even get decent news channels. I have to figure out what's going on from the internet. The wife says the news is too depressing. She doesn't wanna know. OK, got it. You'd rather watch some tart whoring around with multiple guys then? Lovely!

@DoreensfreeReminds me a lot of the trip we took to Tahiti a few years back. The south pacific is a magical place for a holiday. So beautiful I'll have to look up where that island is specifically.

Never seen it @jillar. Looks like it might be a decent flick. What are you watching it on? Pay-for-view, NetFlix, DVD?

Hold tight. Tomorrow is a new day and something will happen to change your outlook

@Mee We use to travel to N.B. through the US. Love driving Route #2 from Burlington VT to New Hampshire then into Maine. Nice leisurely drive with lots of quaint small towns along the way. We stopped using that route when the Canadian dollar slide to 70 cents to the US dollar

Not sure on the timing for lowering blood pressure Linda but I do know you're still in early days of your quit so keep at it. People tend to start getting wear of the constant battles with cravings and just always being on their toes 24/7 but trust me, it's worth the effort! It won't be long until things really start easing up and you'll get a little more breathing room. Do focus on benefits you are starting to see - that helps lift your spirits. Money saved, taste and smell improvements and I'm sure there's more. Remember the reasons you quit for. They're still important. Keep moving forward Linda!

@Mee I thought it might be nice to post up travels as we might take them. I find it interesting to see other places I don't know about and it can, as you said, give you some ideas on places you might like to go to. Let me know if you do head for the East Coast of Canada sometime. I can give you some info. on New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Haven't travelled Nova Scotia or Newfoundland much but they've both got some great spots to see as well.

Thought it might be interesting to some to share our travel experiences so that others get an idea of places they've never been to or in some cases never even heard of. I'm in New Brunswick Canada at the moment dealing with some family issues. Today the wife & I decided to have a break and take a short trip up the coast to a place called St. Martins which is located on the Bay of Fundy coastline. Here's some information on St. Martins & why people visit this place. https://stmartinscanada.com/local-attractions/tidal-harbour/ The Bay of Fundy is known for having the greatest tidal differential in the world ( and the coldest water ). Difference between high & low tide averages around 28 feet, as opposed to the world average of 3 feet, and has been recorded as being up to 60 ft. in places under the right atmospheric conditions! In addition to all this, it's a picturesque little town spotted with old wooden covered bridges and it is home to a series of sea caves which are a Unesco World Heritage site. The caves are only accessible at low tide. This is low tide in the harbour at St, Martins village. Low tide at St. Martins beach which is where the sea caves are located. The water line at low tide is several hundred feet down the beach. I marked the high tide water line with a red marker to show the difference between tides. As a scale reference, there's a 6 foot person standing at the water line upper left of this photo. You can barely make them out. Unfortunately, the angle of the sun was such it did not allow for decent photos of the caves which are located on the left side of St. Martins beach. As you can see, the beach is filled with rocks (not much sand). These rocks are both unique and recognizable from any other rock I have ever seen. Due to the massive tidal forces these rocks are exposed to twice daily, they are all rounded and worn smooth. In addition to this, many have a pock-mark appearance to them due to repeated battering against other rocks on the beach. And of course, like any other tourist place, St. Martins has it's share of eateries from formal to road-side shacks. Most only open from May- early Oct. yearly because that's high season for tourism. The only place open on our visit in November was this ice cream parlor along the road leading into town. And NO, I didn't buy a Camo Hoodie

We all were anxious about quitting before we started but once you commit to quit, that anxious feeling will disappear because you will be focused on the early days of your quit. We'll help you through and answer any questions you may have. There's also a wealth of information here so have a look around at the pinned posts top of a number of pages and there's a video library that addresses almost every aspect of quitting!

Welcome to the quit train activeonly! You'll find a lot of support and information here that will help you on your quit journey. Everyone here is a nicotine addict, like yourself. We know what it's like to quit so it's good that you plan to hang out often. You'll feel right at home in no time. We love a quitter around here

Nope!

^^^ Pretty sure that's either Aussie speak or French?
