No No No, Boo. I have other methods of sacrifice in mind. Maybe to include @Nancy's strappy sandals.

I sacrificed myself years ago, @notsmokinjo.

Hey, HH, I fixed your avatar for you.

This is not a strange reason to me. I always thought of myself as a strong woman. Then one day I said to myself, 'if you're so friggin' strong, how come you're a slave to tobacco ?' So, on a whim and as a personal challenge, I quit. Just like that. I gave it a year to see if I could do it and I did it. I freed myself from the slavery of nicotine addiction. That was over Six years ago. The first thing I did after destroying any remaining cigarettes was to learn everything I could about nicotine addiction, this helped me understand what my body and mind were going through. I suggest, you start your education if your want to prove to yourself that you can break your bondage to nicotine. This thread may help you navigate around 10 Ways To Effectively Use This Forum To Stop Using Nicotine and to start your education, please avail yourself to Joel Spitzer's work and his Daily Quitting Lesson Guide Welcome to the Quit Train, helmethermit. You have begun a marvelous journey back to yourself.

Just in after inspection of courtyard. No snapped rats. No sign of rats for the first time in months ! The restaurant down the street is closed due to the COVID-19 shutdown, removing the rat's major food buffet. Maybe, will get ahead of the rat game, at least temporarily.

Congratulations, @forestgreen on your First Year of Freedom ! Hope you celebrate wildly and continue on your smoke free journey. Life is so much better Free Free Free.
