Tough Day Today! I woke up, way too early, with awful gas pain, and spent about an hour going back and forth from bed to restroom. Somehow, I didn’t wake my boyfriend. I Finally got another hour of sleep, then started my morning routine. After coffee, I decided to get my first brisk walk out of the way, since it was going to be on the hot side, today. I took my usual route, which takes me near a cluster of manmade bee hives on the property. I try to make sure I don’t venture too close, but this morning, a small group of bees attacked me, about 20 yards from their hives. I got stung, twice, both in the head. It was very frightening and distressing. Thank God, I’m not allergic. IIt took me awhile to calm down, and , truthfully, I was off the rest of the day. My anxiety was worse than usual, which always puts a damper on things. So, I did my best to distract myself, by keeping busy. I even took a nice hot bath to attempt to soothe myself. I also did a lot of deep breathing. One thing, I did not do, is smoke! I did fit in my 2nd brisk walk, but took an alternate path. Overall, though, what a crappy day! KAT

No, it was someone’s post where they mentioned they had bought cigs, and when I checked it later, that post and several other’ reactions to it , including one by me, had disappeared.

Great to hear, Diane. As I mentioned before, your initial post was the first one I read here. When I checked and saw that you were still here, and hadn’t picked up a cigarette, I knew I could do it, too. So, thank you for your commitment to yourself, and this community. We are both living proof that this forum works. KAT

Prisoner’s early release

That is the second time I have noticed that. I think the site is glitchy and someone’s post disappeared. Yesterday, in another thread, several posts, that were there earlier, had disappeared several hours later.

Who are you

I suffer from an anxiety disorder on a good day, so you can imagine that it’s worse for me, since the virus. None of us has faced anything like this, in our lifetimes, so any of us with brains are scared, and rightfully so. I wish there weren’t so many people who aren’t taking it seriously, and therefore not bothering to get vaccinated. My fear is that we will never reach the necessary threshold to achieve herd immunity, because of these people. If I had to guess, we are all going to need to get vaccinated yearly, like we do for the flu. The Government is already talking booster shots, perhaps as early as this coming Fall. This is big time scary stuff and I feel sorry for the friends and family of those who refuse to see the urgency of the situation. I spent my life in the healthcare field, and I thank God I retired well before having to be on the front lines, during those awful early days. Having said that, I did volunteer to come out of retirement when our Governor asked. Thankfully, they never called me for duty.

You cannot rely on one person to keep your quit! Do not give anyone that much power over your life! That may sound dramatic, but this is life or death we are talking about. Instead, rely on your own strength, and the many here who have taken the time to come to your aid, when you needed help.

Well, that’s good news! Now, leave them there! Let them be your security blanket, for as long as you need, then toss them. In the meantime keep your 4 month quit, for which you’ve worked so hard. Keep busy! Exercise! Engage in a new hobby, and above all else, stick close to your family HERE!
