Yeah, all these drugs (nicotine, caffeine) alter our brain chemistry so when you add or subtract one of those drugs to your system, it's bound to have an effect on the others that you are still using. Adjustment all around is required. Just a matter of finding the right mix for you.

OK 20!!

It does get easier and easier to guard that quit Jeff, the longer you remain smoke free. It really does become effortless after a while. You have to be quit for at least a year to really start seeing that. Why not set 1 year as your next goal and use that time to research nicotine addiction and all the nasty things it really does to us both physically and mentally. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain!

Nice one Christina! Keep them coming

10 What the hell?

Always knew you'd do it up right Latoya Hope your Mum's doin' OK too! You inspired her to quit too as I recall Glad you're enjoying the life you deserve! Thanks for checking in with us

Does not taste like ham or bacon. Got a taste & texture all it's own I think. It's not bad, just not one of my go-to's. Makes a nice breakfast sandwich with a fried egg and maybe some cheese on a toasted bun? And yes @Doreensfree, you have mentioned that many times

Yes, that's the bacon I use - the strips of bacon only what I get tends to have more fat and less meat, even without that big chunk of ham at the end of yours - lol. But yes, I would use just that long streaky part to wrap around the scallop/pineapple combination. Canadian bacon, also called Peameal Bacon, looks like this. You slice it as thin or thick as you like before cooking. I'm not a huge fan of it. Some like it better than regular bacon though. Wouldn't work well for wrapping the scallops. It would be nice with pineapple though. Meal of grilled peameal bacon and grilled pineapple with some salad would be tasty

So you know you CAN quit for a substantial period of time because you did that for a year so learning quitting tools isn't the issue here. What seems to be at issue is the you have never really quit in your mind. You're just abstaining and missing it all the while. In my opinion, that's the part you need to work on. Changing your mindset when it comes to smoking. Education about what smoking can do to us will help with that. We all avoid seeking out that sort of information when we quit because .... we don't want to know. Why not start researching that subject now. Reading about the link between smoking and all sorts of life ending diseases will help recondition your mind. If there are specific things you think you "love" about smoking, come here and say so. People can perhaps give you different perspectives on that. Make a list of the things you like about smoking. As I said, others may be able to give you a new outlook to focus on. And, what about the benefits you gained when you were quit? Maybe try to focus your mind on those next time you quit. Any one of us can change their way of thinking about something. That's the part you need to work on in my opinion.

Nope!

Saw a lady on TV the other day and her hair was I would say medium length? Top half was silver/gray while the bottom half was brown. Guess she was in the "growing out" stage.
