Reciprocity

We have a special guest who will appear to pipe the inductee onto the Lido too

With a Welcome to the Lido Deck celebration tomorrow, we almost had a big problem with the launching of our new ship! Turns out, ship's OK ..... launching vehicle, not so much 😮

Then, the wife tells me she wants BBQ chicken for dinner?

I decided to quit the day before I did quit so there wasn't much time to think about anything let alone one specific thing I would miss. There was just a dark cloud of trepidation as to how I would possibly be able to quit doing something I loved doing and had done all my life pretty much. Funny how one's perspective can change so completely in such a short period of time. I don't miss anything about smoking now - nothing!

Ducking in and out of the house doing outdoor chores cuz it's +45C (113F) today with humidity factored in so getting into the AC from time to time is a blessing. I was thinking about how it was just back in Feb. sometime it was at around -40 (-40F) for a bit. That was just over 4 months ago. Unreal how the temperature can swing that much in 4 months. No wonder Canadians complain about the weather constantly. It's too hot .... It's too cold 😣

Stevo1 - You are 3 months into your quit now - congratulations! You must be starting to enjoy some of the benefits you have been seeing since you've quit. Stop around and tell us how you're doing; we'd love to hear from ya. Hope you celebrate the occasion of being a quarter year quit and treat yourself to something nice. It's raining 3's!!

My stat is I was quit all day today. That's 1 more day quit than I ever had when I was a smoker.

A guy walks into a bar, sits down next to another guy and immediately notices the guy has a very large Bic cigarette lighter. The first guy says "Wow, that's a huge lighter...where did you get it?" The guy replies "A genie from this bottle granted me one wish." "Great, can I try it?" "Sure." The first guy rubs the bottle and the genie appears. "You are granted one wish" says the genie. The guy says, "I want a million bucks!" "Done" says the genie and disappears. A few minutes go by and suddenly the bar door swings open and pouring in come ducks. Thousands and thousands of ducks falling all over each other through the bar door. "I can't believe this," says the guy who had just placed his wish, "I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks!" The second guy then says, "Do you really think I wished for a 12 inch Bic?"

You made it Ankush! 3 Months smoke free and a major contributor to this forum. You are two-sixths, or one third of the way to completing your first year already No matter how you do the math ........... you're doing GREAT!!

Congratulations on reaching your 8 month smoke free anniversary Wantsit! Two thirds of the way there now. Steady as she goes!

Congrats Linda on your final monthly Woo-Hoo before you are piped onto the Lido Deck - only 1 month away now! You came here full of doubt and trepidation about quitting and in 11 short months have found yourself and created not only a strong quit but have helped so many others seeking the same thing. That's what makes this a special place and you are a cornerstone of that place. Hope you celebrate the occasion and we'll all look forward to your very own special day next month
