In spite of it being only a light snow, in the last 24 hours we surpassed the snow totals from all of last winter. The farmers around here are predicting a colder and wetter winter than we've seen in years. And frankly, the farmers have a better track record of predicting the weather than the local meteorologists...they have more skin in the game than the folks on television do.

G’day NOPE NOPE NOPE

G’day Snow? In Darwin? Bet cha they would run out of Bundy Rum....

Watching the snow roll in over the Cumberland Plateau. May not seem like a big deal to those of you in colder climates, but a bit of snow is still an "event" here in Tennessee. Schools are closed tomorrow. The grocery stores in town were packed with people stocking up this afternoon. Don't come around here looking to buy milk, bread, and toilet paper...It's all gone!

Tony I'd like to offer some different approaches for your next quit. First, don't use terms like "fell off the wagon" or "slipped". It really minimizes your accountability. In fact, it makes it sound more like an accident rather than a conscious choice to smoke again. Stop saying "hopefully" you will quit this time. It's all about making a real and solid commitment. Don't assume that that NRT's will magically make quitting a breeze. It's more about your mindset than anything else. Sure NRT's help many people, but they're not a panacea for all withdrawals. And more importantly, talk to your doctor before using 2 types at the same time. I'd be shocked if any medical professional thought that was okay. As others have said, you can do this. Sometimes it just takes looking at things a little differently to reach the desired outcome.

I wish Jacinda ruled the world. Intelligence and Compassion. What the world needs NOW. Glad your peeps are OK, Jo.

This is a really good post.

Pointers: Commit to the quit, go all in. Educate yourself about nicotine addiction; learning to spot the traps makes them easy to avoid. Keep it simple; quitting only requires that you stop putting things in your mouth and lighting them on fire. Encouragement: The process of quitting smoking is one of the best things you will ever do for yourself. The process will reward you many times over. The bothersome aspects of the quit are temporary while the benefits are permanent. And...the entire process is simple, you only have to stop putting things in your mouth and lighting them on fire. Did I mention how simple the process is? You can do this Tony. And I guarantee you that you will not regret the decision to quit.

Welcome, Tony. You've come to the right place. We can help you build a sturdy and successful quit. You will never regret quitting smoking. Here is a thread that you may find helpful, 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Help Yourself To Quit Smoking

Welcome back Tony, and congrats on deciding to take your life back. I quit cold turkey for health reasons and kept googling quit symptoms I was having which led me to my now defunct old forum where I lurked for about three weeks before having the nerve to sign up. And boy am I glad I did. I'm convinced that without the help and camaraderie of my fellow quitters I would not have been successful. There's something about knowing you're not alone and not wanting to let my new friends down that really resonated with me. That's also where I learned about my JAC (jillars air cigarette) and how well it was at tricking my mind into thinking it was getting the real thing. You'll meet people from all over the world here and can answer pretty much any quit question you may have. And if we can't we can steer you toward a topic that can. We also have a super fun socializing section to keep your mind busy and off the constant thinking about smoking.
