Reciprocity

I just knew either YOU or BOO would go there Another thread in the gutter

Education about this addiction is really the key to truly understanding that smoking does nothing good for us - nothing!! We only satisfy an unending loop of addictive behavior every time we light one up. That's it! Every other result of that action is bad. Bad health, less money, slavery to an addiction, social awkwardness. It's all bad - nothing good there.

Congrats Gordo on reaching that second milestone in your journey to life long freedom from this addiction. Every month you stay smoke free early on is a huge accomplishment so be sure to celebrate your hard work today. Well done Gordo!!

Way to go on reaching 10 months smoke free Huntressd! Double digits means you are now in the home stretch for reaching that Lido Deck. That's exciting so be sure to mark the occasion in some special way

Huge congrats to you GITW!!! A half year smoke free is HUGE! Be sure to celebrate all that hard work you've put in because you deserve something special to mark the occasion! Well done my friend

I've been trying to get through this one for months now. The plot's a little thin but the characters are awesome

Hello & welcome. Many QSMB peeps here for sure

It's your 2nd statement I be-leaf

I remember thinking that time had stopped in the early days of my quit! That too will pass. You and Rusty are doing great - hang in and ride the waves of craves. That's how you get through it

You know my support is rock solid P and I also knew others here would very much like to support you as well. Stay close to us here while you work through this life event. You are never alone, even though we may be "virtual friends" that doesn't mean we don't care deeply about our family members here

Looks like game 7 for this series Leaf VS Boston. Leafs did well to get this far considering they were down 3 games to 1 earlier in the series. They are playing in Boston though so ........... I wouldn't be betting real money on the Leafs! Hey! Was that you I saw the other night in the crowd?

Wow - sounds like a lot to deal with but you know what? If you can get through all that then you are showing your commitment and strength to deal with your quit. Stay strong my friend. All these things will change and improve with time. Your quit should still be job 1 for you right now as it may save your life. It will certainly improve the quality of it - that's for sure.

Seems this guy was just a nut-bar. No indication of any Political Terror stuff going on for this one. I can't believe the cop took this guy down without a shot even fired after the guy put his hand in his pocket and told the cop he had a gun. Cop said "I don't care!" and kept his gun trained on him telling him to get on the ground. Guy pulled out a cell phone and made like he was aiming it at the cop. Cop still didn't shoot him - wow! Can't say I would have had that kind of restraint. The accused was in court this morning for official charges. Haven't heard what they are yet but suspect multiple 1st degree murder charges. I just hope they don't let him off on an NCR basis (Not Criminally Responsible due to mental defect). I can't see how they would on this one but, it does happen often here in Canada. They're pretty soft on crime when it comes to the courts here. All the EMS, Cops, fire people and even random people at the scene did an amazing job calmly trying to give aid to those injured and dying on the street. Big props to all those who were there giving assistance So sad because it was just so random. Wrong place, wrong time and you were just mowed down

I just realized this morning that the Toronto Maple Leafs played a do or die game 6 against Boston last night and actually won. I didn't even watch it They will be playing in a winner take all Game 7 tomorrow I think, in Boston. My daughter texted me and told me I can't start watching them now because if I do, I'll jinx them - LOL. I wouldn't be putting any money on them in any case. Surprised they made it this far after being down 3 games to 1 in a best of 7 series

Yes it is simple and fragile all at the same time but it's your addiction that makes those thoughts of "just one" so appealing and convincing. Education about the addiction can help you anticipate these issues and then you are better prepared to deal with them. That's where the simple part comes in .... just N.O.P.E. every day

I'm getting confused with all the support groups but .... isn't that a good thing? The more support we have the better! I don;t care what the group name is only that everyone is supporting our common goal - stopping our participation in this deadly addiction! Welcome aboard the Quit Train Rusty! Stay active here - it will help you more than you may think
