I hope we get more rain this year too

Shouldn't you ask one of them that?

Congratulations Dogbelly, one month quit is awesome! I had a celebration thread ready for you on the 12th but you beat me to it Hope you're going to do something special for yourself to celebrate!

Lets hope with the vaccine we won't have to postpone anything this year

Chip off block

Still want to smoke?......

Maybe the person doing it?

Oh I'm so excited for you @Rozuki, have a safe trip

Me too @Linda

@Judi, I don't think you'll find too many people right now, both nonsmokers and smokers, who don't have some form of depression from this pandemic. Factor in the emotion explosion of quitting and it can be hard at times. Most of us are either extra irritable or cry more than normal when we first quit. My last couple of years also have been brutal. My car was totaled, my bunny died and my mother died and I needed to execute her trust. Then two months after she died I had respiratory failure and am now on oxygen still because I haven't been able to get any pulmonary rehab because of this pandemic. So I get it but I guess it was around April or May last year when I just woke up one morning and just decided I didn't want to be in a bad mood anymore. I was sick of it. If this pandemic was going to get me I wasn't going to spend my last year that way. And the funniest part is that it works! Shit is going to happen and it sucks but maybe we should live like the song says

Congratulations Jim, four years is so awesome

Oh Linda, I'm sorry to hear about your hardships. Don't worry about being the strong one right now. Emotions go wacky when we first quit so crying is normal for lots of us. You'll come out of this stronger than you've ever been and with a whole new sense of self worth

How are you feeling today Linda? Hopefully better

Congratulations Linda on getting past the hardest month of them all You're doing great, even if you don't think so at times

Its not realistically possible to corner the market is it?

Linda you DO NOT want to go through this first horrible month again right?! That should be incentive enough. Go online and pick yourself out something special for your one monthaversary. We had one member who bought a charm each month for her bracelet. That'll keep your mind busy

Doesn't just the IRS do that?

Keep your mind busy other ways like playing games or watching funny videos to get your mind off smoking. We have a ton of fun social threads

Yes, water, candy and deep breathing. Enjoy how much deeper and clear your breaths are. You got this!
