Yes @Doreensfree wonderful things are about to happen...and I'm sticking to the ride, even though it's a little bumpy right now. But then if it was smooth sailing, I wouldn't appreciate it as much would I now? I haven't given my brain anytime to think today, and it's helped, because I haven't thought of smoking. I have a nagging feeling of being a little blank (not sure if you know what I mean) but I'm just jumpstarting my brain every now and then. Cleaning my house, watering the plants, just sitting by my window (the view is nice) and just trying to envision myself healthier. I also need to start a fitness regimen real soon. J It's a beautiful day again, Mother Nature has been kind...so I will go for my walk or better yet, go near the shore, and just sit and watch the waves... Happy Sunday to you and everyone on here too

I would dance around wildly, because I got eight left feet (yeah I look like a drunken centipede when I dance) but yes @Sazerac I know what you mean. Have to re-train my brain, to be a better version of myself. And the change that takes time, is the change that sticks. So me going through all this is just as helpful to make me realize that my body is breaking through certain cycles I trained it to expect, so it's on me...and I have to "woman up" to stick it through. And I will. Thanks for the lovely words, I feel the grit and gumption comin on already !!!

@Boo yes!!! I love the sound of water and rain. Well, rain I don't need to listen to videos, raining like crazy in my city, and everything is turning a fresh shade of green. It's as if Mother Nature is just showing me how good it is to turn the proverbial new leaf...the air is cleaner and fresher...everything pointing to the fact that since I am not harassing my lungs with that toxic fume, I can experience all this so much better Thank you for the lovely note. Particularly for "Every thought has as much or as little power as you give it." If that's not a mic drop moment, I don't know what is !!!

Whiskey is what I love to, however last night it was my first love caffeine that helped @reciprocity , and you hit the nail on the head, coz you are tired with training your brain all day and you just want it to stop rumbling for a while, but that's exactly when it kinda turns the dial up to maximum. Work for me has been super stressful last couple of weeks, extra hours and what not, I did choose to quit during a tough period, but then it would never be a perfect time, would it? Thanks for your message, it makes all the difference in the world when you know someone's keeping you in their thoughts, and believe in your cause. Kudos!!!

@jillar well, not an air cigarette, but a nice coffee helped (I know it isn't supposed to do the same, but coffee and I have a very different kind of relationship ) I did toss and turn, but held on to dear life (sorry making it sound so dramatic) and kept pushing the thought of even smoking. And like I mentioned earlier, I made sure I couldn't get one until I took the car out, drove a few miles into another suburb, and I hate driving, so that helped Thanks for the note, was great reading and knowing I'm not necessarily blowing this out of proportion.

Hey @Sslip, yes, couldn't fall asleep first and then a very disturbed sleep. But got through the night, by giving myself no options whatsoever to get back to that filthy habit. I don't necessarily meditate, but did try some videos on youtube, and it helped quieten the mind, even though it was just a little bit. Have thrown myself into household chores today, so my house is sparkling clean, just like I hope my lungs will be soon. Thank you for checking in

I know i am not smoking, it's 1.30 am here, I have no smokes around neither is it possible to get any anyways at this hour (not as many 24/7 shops as one may think in Mumbai). But my brain is keeping me awake... My body is exhausted, it's been a long week at work and this afternoon I walked a lot to shrug off the cravings. Just need some tips on how to quieten my head and get some rest. I wish there was an off switch, it's tiring

Well you're the most humane AI I have ever met... I always wonder if insomniacs can ever say "I have a dream..."

Tried reading the first post, still can't figure out how to play this thing...

Thanks but yeah Day 3 is kinda Frazier vs Ali, but I am Ali, so I can take those punches, and when I start...Frazier won't know what hit him

When do you get your sleep Jo? It's what about 4 AM there???

A difficult but firm NOPE

Yup, fighting the cravings, for some reason, a little too frequent today, but nothing will shake me. Not giving up on the hard work done and not putting my body through all that again Doreen ? stepped out for a walk, it is a beautiful day Also apologies for posting in another topic within the pre respond forum, doing this through the phone. Will move it once I have access to the laptop

Brain to me :" listen, I am bored, and it's raining... What say we have just one smoke?" Me to brain :"You may be bored, anxious, frustrated or hanging by your last neuron, we are not smoking. Open the damn window and breathe some oxygen in for a change will ya,." Brain to me :" it's just one 1⃣" Me to brain :"it'll be none you are grounded...."

Another one to get the weekend started...

Enthusiastic fielders are way too undervalued, but they mean the difference between a challenging score and an unwinnable chase Have a brilliant game!!!

Nice, you a batsman or bowler @Sslip
