Welcome back Kdad! Stick around for the support you'll need in the early days. Read all you can and use any appropriate videos as motivation. You can do this and let that relapse act as a reminder of just how precious yet vulnerable our quits are. Make this one the forever quit you deserve!

You've done it before successfully so you KNOW you can do it again. Work on getting your mindset straight and aimed at another run for the quit. Don't dwell in the past or feel sorry for yourself because of what happened and don't let that affect your energy for this next quit but never forget what it was that pushed you to start again. I suspect complacency or romancing the cigarette and figuring you could have just one for old time sake? Whatever it was it's done now. Time to move forward. You know there's only ever one rule ..... NOPE!

^^ It's pretty simple really: 1. Avoid contact with people outside your own household. That means 6 ft or 2 meters distance minimum, from ALL people outside your household ALL the time! Even, and particularly, gatherings with relatives and close friends is dangerous and is now one of the primary spreader events. 2. Wear a mask properly when you are out in public, particularly when indoors. The mask protects others from your exhaled droplets and protects you from a greater degree of virus droplets you may come in contact with (you'll get less sick with a lower dose of droplets ingested). 3. Step up your personal hygiene practices! Wash your hands properly and for the appropriate length of time and do it often. Use hand sanitizer often as it is now supplied in most settings these days. Don't touch your face if you can possibly avoid it (that takes awareness and practice). If people did these three simple things (I mean everyone; not just some), there would be no need for shutdowns and other personal restrictions because people would themselves not attend potentially dangerous events no matter what they might be.

Knock yourselves out! Here in Canada, we already have our three main food groups figured out and we don't deviate from them for nobody😆

At 100, I call her what ever I want cuz her hearing ain’t great 😊

Happy 100th Birthday to Mother Piggy! Her special day was yesterday and we actually got to visit with her for a 1/2 hour at the care facility she's in. Visitations are almost non-existent now with Covid but we had a great visit with her all the same. and brough lots of home baked cookies (Yum)! I think she had a great day even though she was dreading her 100th

Saint-Louis-De-Ha-Ha; Quebec & yes, that's snow on the ground with road plowed & lots of salt on the road. They sure know how to keep those roads clear in that part of the country and they need to cuz they get a ton of snow every year from Oct. - April.

Nope!

Congrats on 9 years Sarge!

Wow! 10 whole months without a smoke. That's fantastic Angeleek! You are on the cusp of completing a whole year so just stand on guard now and cruise to the finish of your first year. Well Done @Angeleek

Congrats Steven as you have now doubled your time as a nonsmoker! 2 Months without feeding your addiction is a major feat! Be sure to celebrate the occasion and look forward to month #3!

Went to Dipper Harbour, New Brunswick today. I have a cousin who lives there and haven't been down to see him in probably 15 years. Drove to the warf where the boats had just come in from the 5th day of Lobster season We stopped by an old abandon wooden covered bridge which were a common thing in the early part of the 20th century. Day is topped off with a super nice meal at Billy's Seafood Company in downtown Saint John, N.B. late in the day. Cold beer, bacon wrapped scallops and Lobster Roll with Fries 😍
