@Mee, your new backsplash looks wonderful, very spiffy! DIY-ing projects can save money and be gratifying... except when they become expensive and super aggravating. My partner and I are currently debating whether to hire someone to bury our gutter/sump pump drainage pipe (her vote), or whether I'm going to spend a weekend in the back yard wielding gravel and a shovel (my vote). Secretly, I hope she wins the argument. Anyway, congrats on powering through your troubles and getting a beautiful end result. Hopefully you'll feel a glow of pride every time you use your kitchen.

Really glad you posted an SOS here, @Kdad. Smart move! Your quit is precious, worth protecting. Keep talking with people here on the Train, playing games, inventing new ways to distract yourself at home. It gets easier after a while. You can do this!

Well done, @Robbie! Congrats on your year.

Welcome back, @Kdad. Great to hear from you, and congrats on 6 days smoke-free! That's wonderful. I think every smoker has a unique path to freedom, but we all eventually converge through one door: NOPE. You and @johnny5 nailed it with those four powerful letters. Take good care. Post often. Keep busy. Strategize in advance for what you will do instead of smoking when the urge strikes. Scream and holler if you need to. Ask questions. We're here to help each other Keep the Quit.

I escaped smoking.
