It's show & tell time!

Congrats on a full 3 years quit Andy, star of the Chicks or Sticks struggle I'm happy to have been a part of your quit journey @andyc941. Those that quit before me certainly gave me hope that I too could do it. I hope you do something a little special today to recognize the occasion

That's not a bad thing Warblian Nope!

That would be North American, Eastern Standard time zone (including daylight savings calculation).

I also think stress is the primary reason for most relapses. The false belief that smoking relieves that stress is why so many light up again only to find, they feel like crap! Not only is their stress still there but they have just ruined their quit as well. We use smoking as an avoidance tool. Go have a smoke so we don't have to face the situation that is causing the stress. Smoking releases endorphins in the brain which gives us a temporary "good feeling". That's why we think smoking relieves stress - that temporary good feeling we get when we light up. Your stress is still there. The situation that caused the stress is still there. Plus, now you have another stress in your life. The stress that begins building as soon as you put out that smoke. Stress because you're an addict and you need that next fix. Break the cycle - just quit!

TDot Slang abbreviation for City of Toronto Canada You going to the Tdot tonight?

My bad @Gemzee Fixed that now You'll just have to celebrate for a whole month I guess

Ha, ha ..... 6

Starts at 12:01 AM Aug. 1st. Hope you're on the boneyard shift that day. You can start the Sh*t-stirring

6 is great Gemzee! Hope you find time to celebrate

Nice Job Jack! 2 years is great!

Moonglyn! 3 Months is a great quit you have going there. Be sure to recognize your hard work today and stop by to let us know how you're doing.

Since there's no celebrations today I thought I'd reach for one. So here's my stats" 2 Years, 6 Months quit as of today! $13,655.00 saved! 22,875 cigarettes not smoked! That last one is the most important to me!

You see! Decisions you make (good or bad) affect others in ways you are sometimes not even aware of. I'm sure your Grand Daughter is very happy her Gramma doesn't smoke anymore

It was the worst of times.

It's frustrating isn't it .... when we KNOW what it's like to be free of all that slavery to a killer addiction?

I can do the male dancing if you like?
