I thought the name Malcolm would be so funny for a girl....the Chudley came from a horror movie back in the early 1980s called C.H.U.D. which stood for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller...LOL!! So I shortened it to Chudley, and the Jr part is just because I thought it was funny. Unfortunately, we had to put her to sleep because she had a lot of problems. We got her in 1984 and we had her for 10 years. She was a Calico cat.

@DenaliBlues Here are a couple of gifts for you! You definitely climbed a mountain when you quit smoking and now you are on the Summit looking down!! And here is a puzzle to keep you busy, if you ever get those craves again.

Hi @PorkandPancakes Welcome back! I know what it's like to give up a quit that you had for a few years. I too am on my 2nd time quitting. The first time I quit it was for 6 years and this time (and last time), I have been quit for 2 1/2 years. I know this is my forever quit, because I can't go through those withdrawal symptoms again. The 2nd time I quit the symptoms were much worse, so I am not going to go through that again!! It was horrible. My number 1 advice to you is stay close to this board, especially now in the beginning. Do the Daily Nope pledge every single day. I find that it keeps me focused. You quit once, so you can definitely quit again and stay quit. But I am sure you know all of it! Everyone here has given excellent advice, the rest is up to you! I believe, if you follow everyone's advice and stay close to this board, you can quit. We are all addicts, plain and simple, and we will always be an addict. Just like alcoholics go to AA meetings, former smokers have to do the same, and having it online makes it even easier than to go to physical meetings. Good luck to you, I know you can do this!👍💪😀

Ted is a beautiful cat. How old is he? I once had a cat many years ago. Her name was Malcolm Chudley, Jr., but we just called her Chudley. 🤣
