Reciprocity

NOPE!

^^^ Geez - that's brutal ? Poor Piggy ? Lost my computer last week when I retired so just borrowed one now to do a quick post Been a little busy this past week and am going back into hiding for another while after this post. Will return when everything gets sorted. Here's a teaser from last Sat. when I gave away my daughter. Not sure why buddy's smiling. Apparently he doesn't fully appreciate just how expensive her tastes are? He'll figure it out soon enough - lol. I gave the wifey my camera to get some shots of me walking my daughter down the aisle which she did but then proceeded to lose the camera ? has yet to be found. Will have to wait for the professional pics now I guess. Got this one off of Face-Plant! Gotta run now. We are packing all our shite to move this Sat. to a new place. House purchase closes on Friday (hopefully??). Move on Sat. then go back and clean the old place on Sunday. Monday we are off to L.A. Tuesday we are off to Tahiti, Moorea and a bunch of other places down that way because wifey got a super travel deal about 8 months ago that was too good to pass up. Coming back in Sept. Our current house closes 6 hours after we land back here from our trip (hopefully??). I must say, the stress levels have been off the charts for weeks now with all this happening in a very limited time frame. Not once have I thought that having a smoke would help in any way, shape or form. In fact, I would be pissed that I wasted the time lighting one up and smoking it because I could have been packing something or moving stuff into the loading area or whatever. See you newbies! It does get easier; a lot easier!! A year ago I would have just gone bought a carton of smokes and lit the whole thing without even unwrapping it ? Anyway, hope everyone is well and enjoying life. Can't wait to get back and slow the pace down a little. For now, gotta go for the gusto while I still can Take care everyone

Congrats Sparkzzz on reaching double digits with your quit! Lido Deck is not far off now

Wow! You've reached the 5 Year Club - congratulations Doreen. So happy for you that you decided to quit and have stayed smoke free for 5 years now. The fact that you have helped so many others, including myself, along the way is a testament to your true character. Thank you for all you do here Doreen Now, go pamper yourself for the day

^^^ You talking bout me? ?

WOW!! Doesn't matter if you have one or two or 100,000 to toss into the fire. It just amazes me how many cigarettes we all would have smoked if we had not quit! Can you even imagine how many cigarettes that would be world wide if everyone was responding to this thread? It's mind boggling to be sure ? Every single cigarette represents some dollar value to big tobacco. I have to believe there are more of us quitting these days than there are young people taking up this addiction - at least I certainly hope so!

Hey! That's my Thursday night "go out to the bar" dress-up! Thursday night's I'm still hopeful; Friday nights I'm desperate and by Saturday night ........ I'm gutted - again ?

The early part of our quit is so all consuming, it's hard to deal with other life situations that put additional stress on us. I'm glad you found a way to stay quit through these other issues. Remember, you are doing this for YOU. No one else. Stay true to yourself and guard your quit as if your life depended on it because, it just might!

Glad you cam back to get this thing done Jayhawk! 1st month is the toughest and now you're through it so be proud of what you've done and reward yourself in some way. Looking forward to seeing you at the end of month 2

Congrats JB! 10 Months is fabulous. You're now into double digits and cruising toward that Lido Deck. Be sure to celebrate in some way cuz it's hard work and determination that has got you here and that deserves some recognition
