Happy birthday @Lilly for sundee and we'll bloody done on 7 months.

Not really adding anything new here but still gunna chuck in me two bobs worth....so @Paul723 gave you the science....those nicotine receptors are going bat shit crazy as you starve them and turn them off one by one...they are in panic mode....and in the past when you are stressed or scared you smoked...so the little buggers push the shit out of those buttons. There were a whole slew of things I thought I'd dealt with as a kid that resurfaced when I quit .. things I thought were resolved bubbled to the surface...the way I looked at for me it was all about control and I couldn't control my childhood or change the past what I could control was smoking...I was in charge of that...I controlled that...and I kinda liked being the fat controller.....but it boils down to two things said already... (Paraphrased) As @Lilly said YOU ARE WORTH IT...and @Linda Thomas said we are here for you. You aren't alone, you are safe, and I can guarantee at least one other member here has walked in your shoes. As you grow you your freedom you level up to the next version of yourself...still the same but stronger and with smoke free super powers.

Have an O for awesome birthday.

Our sport down here doesn't do playoffs....we have finals but they are all do or die, you get one game, lay it all on the line, I'm not a fan of the playoff as anything other than a money spinner.

@garry mhudsonm I promise I'm not barracking for the Cards and giving them my kiss of death...I figured I'd barrack for the Yankees seeing as everyone I've followed this year in ever sport has walked away with donuts....sorry @Boo

Mate....they even have the Aussie Rum market on a lock down

Nope but the oil refineries sure looked pretty all lit up like Christmas trees.

Congrats Christobal and for the missus too. Thank you also for your posts that years later guided me and reenforced my quit. You've paid it forward in spades and been a guiding light to my freedom.
