7 Not starting off great for you again today D 😞

Got it fixed and back together. I checked it and it's not leaking from the fill valve anymore Any other issues ...... not my fault 😋

NOPE! That smoking is pleasurable is an addict's illusion!

Fixing one of the toilets that is just leaking a little bit of water from the fill valve after each flush. If I were a betting man ............ I'd bet comments on this will be going to the curse thread in pretty short order 🤬 Stay tuned!

OK 20!

Great job today Steven! You have a lot of people supporting you here. Don't hesitate to rely on them to help you along through the tough times. We've all been there so we DO get it.

This is part of the quit process we ALL go through Linda. We've conditioned our minds to go directly to having a smoke when anything out of the normal happens to us, whether that be stress, illness and yes, even happy events. Your job now is to find ways to break that thought process. It WILL happen the longer you go not smoking and refusing to listen to those junkie thoughts we ALL had early in our quits. You're doing great in these trying times. Keep pushing forward doing exactly what you're doing. Lots of wise people here to help you along

Put the hard work in now while to you a mind to and don't get careless or start listening to your junkie brain this time. You will be rewarded with a lifetime of good health and freedom from servitude to your nicotine addiction! It's that or keep repeating mistakes of the past. Choice is yours Warbelian!

I know ....... it's Great isn't it?!

Nope!

I'm glad both of you are starting again. Maybe think about using each other for special support as "quit buddies". You know, PM each other at times when something relevant comes up? What you both need to focus on is what the circumstances were and what your thought process was when you relapsed. That's the thought process that needs to change this time around. I hope to see ya both around, active on the forum. It does help even if you think you have nothing new to contribute. Often just talking about what's happening is beneficial to you (and others).

8 Where'd you come from @joe? Been awhile!

Congrats Mac! You're carving out a very steady quit and shaping a healthier future. Keep it up!

Happy (belated) 3rd Quit anniversary Wee fluffy me! Does time every fly by after that 1st year and look at you now; 3 years quit! Our quit date is always a special day in remembrance of that life changing decision we made for ourselves so I hope you had a celebration of some sort to mark the occasion!

Wow! 2 Years already. What a wonderful, life changing journey you have had Mee & it was a delight to share it with you I hope you found a way to celebrate this anniversary. Wishing you the very best now & always!

Had to google that as I don't drink wine so no ........ never happened to me. Have had a a few beer bottle blow up in the freezer when I forgot I had put them in there though. Frozen stuff is way easier to clean up

Great job Linda. Yes, it seems like it's taking forever in the early days but I know for myself, time seemed to slow down in those first few weeks so be patient & hang in there. It WILL get easier. Not all of a sudden but it WILL happen. The key is you just have to stick with NOPE and the magic will happen for you. Treat yourself to something a little special for getting through 17 days
