Oh dang, looks like you're ready for a hot date @Doreensfree Love your new pic

Got order, really good edibles Frdws

Ernie really smells

I've read that there's a lot of price gouging going on online but luckily not for the stuff I'm shopping for

Sorry to read you relapsed Irene. You have to really be ready to quit in order to succeed. When I first quit it took me three weeks to sign up to my first forum and then I was glued to it as much as I could. I found that reading, posting, supporting fellow quitters and even socializing helped me stay focused on my quit and gave me a sense of camaraderie with my fellow quitters so much so that I didn't want to let them down by relapsing. I also posted for extra help when I was having a hard crave and members came running to help me past it. We want to do that for you too.....

Well said @notsmokinjo, my sentiments exactly. And I don't want anyone to ever feel their quits aren't as worthy because they used NRT's. It makes me sad that you felt that way...

Love the elephant analogy helmethermit, and I learned something new

@Sunshine59, like Jo said there is no one way to quit this addiction. Yes the ultimate goal is to be completely smoke/nicotine free but how you get there is your choice. I think you mistake our experiences with quitting cold turkey as ganging up on members who think they need NRT's to quit when in fact they dont. And encouraging someone who has quit smoking cold turkey to use NRT to get past a crave is bad advice imo. Why introduce nicotine back in the system?! I encourage all people who have quit smoking period. I just think that for me pulling the bandaid off fast was much better than the slow approach which is NRT. I hope you decide to stay on the forum sunshine and I hope you give up your NRT gum, six months is a long time to be on it. Maybe try regular gum instead?

If worse comes to worse you could maybe inquire about moving into a different apartment in the same complex if one opens up?

Since your apartment was built in the 50's there's probably lots of ways it's getting in. You're just now smelling it because your sense of smell is coming back. All the odors I started smelling was one of the first things I noticed when I was newly quit. I'm sure the air purifier will help a lot.

Happily ordered online for slippers Mtdew

Opossums probably elope

I'm looking forward to that too but until then online shopping I will go!

Really exasperated lugging around xylophone Bltgd

Her unicycle needs crash helmet Crash

Well done Kate, I'm really happy for you, I hope you celebrate your achievement

Love this new entry Darcy Hang tight, the grumpiness and sleep deprivation won't last forever, I promise

Stay safe @Kate18! Great quit you have going

I agree, it's adorable

I guess we could sacrifice Bakon to see if that'll work @notsmokinjo

Wow BKP, how scary for you! I'm glad you are fully recovered now. Thank you for sharing this with us. And thank goodness you quit smoking when you did so that you had the strength to get well!

Welcome aboard helmethermit, it's a great decision you've made to quit during the lockdown. Hopefully as the days go by and you start seeing the health benefits quitting brings you'll decide to defend your quit. Smokers don't quit by accident. I smoked 35 years and always made sure I had cigarettes. You quit because subconsciously you want to quit. And trust me if you think you're having an easy quit now then you should probably keep this quit because the next time may not be so easy. One other thing, I waited until I had serious breathing issues to finally be ready to quit. Don't be stupid, dragging around an oxygen hose 24/7 sucks....

Asked doc and the test has been delayed two weeks, hopefully things will look better by then

You understood me?
