You are entering a whole new chapter in your life Le Blanc, a Great chapter because you now will have a chance to free yourself from constant, miserable slavery to your nicotine addiction! What is there in life more valuable than your freedom? Sure the early days are really tough for most of us. It felt like one constant craving for days to me when I quit - probably even a week or more. How did I cope? Sheer will power and determination not to fail because I knew I wanted to be free from all the smoking BS for good and there was only one way to it, and that was through it! There's no short cuts or skipping any of the process. Think of it this way; you are about to receive the greatest gift in your life. Surly that is worth fighting for as hard as need be and for as long as need be. The tough times don't last for all that long Le Blanc, not in the grand scheme of things so take a stab at it! What do you have to lose? Sticking around here will be a godsend to you because we have ALL been right where you are today. You're NO different than us and vise-versa You CAN do it just like we all have!

I'll map it all out!

As I understand it, you can make tea from it and use it in cooking recipes but the effect on humans is a calming effect - nothing mind-blowing

Icing!

Nope!

"Sure", the wife said. "Go ahead and plant Catnip! What harm could it do?" Then all the addicts move in and the whole neighborhood goes to hell in a hand basket

Harvesting the organic Catnip I grew this year. This is 1/4 of my total yield! Still needs to be more finely chopped though I think I'll be know as the Canadian Kitty Pusher soon

Oh nice! Let us know how it turns out

So yeah, what are you planning to do to clean things up and perhaps initiate a plan to try and get this thing working as was probably planned originally? If you need some help or want some input, PM me.

Scary sh*t! Those winds, the storm surge and the rain volumes close to the eye wall - holy cow Can't imagine my house surviving that

15 Ha,ha!

You are 100% correct Layla. We don't even realize, until we quit, just how much of our daily life is totally controlled by our nicotine addiction and smoking. It is truly shocking but ..... look at the other side of that coin. Once you have quit for good, all that slavery to nicotine is gone!! That's called Freedom and there's no better reward than that for all the hard work that's required to quit This IS what you're fighting for Layla - freedom from your addiction!
