Reciprocity

Pretty sure there's a rule somewhere that chicks must wait a minimum of 2 weeks after joining before they can play the Chicks or Sticks game. Let me go check with @Bakon.

You have received a lot of great information Christian! Make your mind up to quit no matter what comes your way. As others have said, there's the physical withdrawal which doesn't last all that long (a few days of really strong carvings at times) but then there's adjusting your lifestyle to no longer include smoking. That's what takes a lot of patience and time. There will be triggers that make you think; "Hey! I should be having a smoke." because that's what you have done for years and years but now, smoking is completely off the table for you so learn new rewards to give yourself - not a smoke anymore. Quitting is a marathon, not a sprint. Stay firm to your commitment and be patient. It will happen if you follow the process - just NOPE! (Not One Puff Ever)

You have come to the right place for support and information about nicotine addiction. Quitting and staying quit is so much easier when you have others around you experiencing the same thing. The more you come here and share your thoughts with others, the better you are likely to do. Great decision on quitting Vivianne!

Happy 6th Year MQ! Your commitment to not only quitting yourself but helping so many others do the same thing is most definitely celebration worthy!

Our spring was like that here. I couldn't even cut my lawn because of standing water. The gardens were under water most of the time. The ground can only hold so much then it just pools. Hope the rain stops for you soon. It's supposed to rain here all next week too ..... welcome to autumn; cool and rainy

Oddly enough, there were a considerable number of peeps strutting around all dressy & what not It was frickin' outdoors on a warm summer's eve. I'm not dressin up!! Flippies on my feet, shorts and a T-shirt and quite comfy thank you very much. I had no idea having a pickle up your arse was a requirement for attending the wine festival lol.

We definitely had way more closet space around here before you lot showed up
