I’ve read the Thomas Covenants (a bit too dark for me) but I had forgotten about the Mistborns… I always meant to read those but haven’t yet - thanks for the reminder! During my early quit, re-reading some familiar books was soothing to my troubled soul. So I re-read the Cadfaels and the Belgariad plus the Lloyd Alexander Black Cauldron books and the Harper trilogy by Anne McAffrey. Comfort food.NOPENOPE7. Flower vasestop your gawkingNOPE Not today5. I put grape jelly outside in a small mason jar to feed orioles. Works great early in the year before the bees heat up.I like the fantasy genre, too. Here are a few oldies-but-goodies that I’ve enjoyed more than once: - The Belgariad series by David Eddings. 5 books, starts with Pawn of Prophecy. Not the most masterful writing, but very compelling characters, wry humor and a wonderful coming-of-age tale. -Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. Starts with the Dragonbone Chair. Dense, but beautiful prose. - Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb. First book is Assassin’s Apprentice. A riveting mixture of light and dark. There are 10 more books after that, mini-series with common themes and crossover characters. Super imaginative. - Brother Cadfael medieval mysteries by Ellis Peters. Yep, not fantasy. But reading these was super soothing early in my quit. A salty old monk solving riddles with a witty and cunning sidekick. What’s not to love?Hi @Molly2310. Your days are adding up - woo hoo! I had a similar experience to yours. Even after the first stage of chemical withdrawal, there were still a lot of ritual and emotional associations to rewire. Plus I had a deep body memory of smoking that would slam into me sometimes. My quitting experience was definitely not linear, more of a zig zag. Stay vigilant and stay busy and you will do okay. KTQ - Keep the Quit!NOPELOL, @Boo… looks like @intoxicated yoda isn’t far behind.
10. Fan yourself on a hot day. How about… a mason jar.NOPE
Sorry it’s tough right now, @Molly2310. You are doing such an important and courageous thing! You’ll soon be through the worst.Whoops, this Lido Deck thing is trickier than I thought…
