Reciprocity

My description would be like this ........... imagine you were out walking on a lovely summer's day and by chance, walked under a low-hanging branch. In the process a huge, ugly bird's nest, all full of bird crap and what not, somehow attached itself to your head. Rather than taking it off - you decide to just continue walking as if nothing is amiss. That's what I'm seeing ?

Never a Pig Thread ?

Why are all ladies on TV this morning wearing funny shit on the heads? Is this some kind of national hat day? They aren't even hats really ?

^^^ Welcome aboard the Quit Train Fizzie!!

Always interesting to see what we were thinking when we first joined up here. Your commitment was obvious from your very 1st post. I wanted to share that with you today in case you had forgotten. Interesting though that you said you might not come around too often? We're certainly glad you did and I bet you are too 3rd time's a charm By PeaceTrain, June 15, 2017 in Introductions & About Us PeaceTrain Quit Date: 5/20/17 Posted June 15, 2017 Hi all. I've been poking around here for a few days and seems like a friendly and helpful group. Long story short (and it's always a long story isn't it?) this is the 3rd time I've quit and this is it for me. I really am done with smoking this time. I've definitely had my tough moments, but for the most part I'm feeling like now that I've made up my mind that no way am I ever going back to killing.myself, it's much easier. In analyzing the toughest days/episodes so far, I realized later that there was a part of me (the addict) that was cooperating in making myself miserable. After all, if it gets THAT bad, I'll just have to go back to smoking, like I did in the past, right?!? Wrong! Not happening this time. One of the things that's been most helpful has been not thinking about it too much. When I realize I'm ruminating about smoking,mi force myself to focus on other things. For that reason, not sure how much I'll be on this forum- we'll see. Hope that's OK and you all understand it's no reflection on you- just doing what I need to do to keep my quit. Best wishes to all in your quit journey. Jump on the peace train!

Oh WOW! That's fabulous Frez Huge congratulations to you! I'm sure you'll be very proud when you take that walk today. Well Done!!

Great Work, way to go Kermit Each month your quit grows bigger and stronger!

^^^^ I know! The difference between this time of year and say, November or December is incredible. In late November, I could sleep till noon easily. This time of year, some animal is ruining my slumber starting around 3:00 AM ? And, the light starts around 4:00 AM these days - Gawd!! It'll be even worse next month!!

Niners Yeah, it's weird. If you buy something that is $1.02 then you just pay $1.00 if it's cash. If it's $1.03 then you pay $1.05 if it's cash. If it's credit or debit then it's the exact price no matter what - go figure!!

That's exactly why this IS an important thread to be posted!!! We all need to reflect from time to time on just how many loved ones have met a horrible end of life because they could not battle this horrible, gripping addiction. WE are doing just that! Battling and winning that battle.That represents hope for a better life for all that hang on to their quits. I think it might be Johnny's signature line that says something like: "I didn't quit smoking to live longer but to live better." I'm paraphrasing of course but you get the idea. Lets all quit and stay quit so we can live better. No matter whether we have 1 or 100 years still available to us.

^^^^ That looks like it raining Australian spiders ? You keep saying it's safe there but I know it's not. Horrible man-eating spiders everywhere ?

OK - I'm in!! NOPE!

In keeping with tomorrow's special nuptials that Wee fluffy me will be watching with great interest; I'll pledge my Royal NOPE!

I found it tough at times too - really tough like; I don't know if I can do this kind of tough but you're right. Grit your teeth and power though those times and they will diminish in time and become less frequent and you'll find yourself in such a much batter place Now go camping like you said! Which place are you camping at? Hilton, Best Western? Hampton Inn's not bad too ?

8 Nope - still as bright as a new penny!! Wait, we don't have pennies anymore??

Ummm .............................. there's a reason they all still have their pants on ....................

Here's what I'm doing at 4:00 f'ing AM in the morning tomorrow!

Happy 3rd Quit Smoking Anniversary Rajag!!

You are already starting to reap the benefits of quitting lml. Aside from not smelling of cigarettes, look at the freedom you have already gained. Freedom to sit and talk with your daughter without having to run out for a smoke. For me, I think that has been the greatest benefit of quitting. Free to do what I want when I want for as long as I want. I no longer bow down to the demands of nicotine
