Just what the Doctor ordered. Friends, sun & fun - enjoy! 😀

Yay!! Congratulations Katgirl That all important 1st month is done. Now you can put all the tools and strategies you learned in that first month to work for your 2nd month.

Actually, the gardens here are all the wife's doing. She's the green thumb talent. I just keep her well fed 😊

Vicious cycle of addiction! Always on edge, waiting for the next 'fix'. That's why we need to put as much distance between that last smoke and the rest of our lives as possible.

Going with Redneck on this one 😂

No @jillar; we have a new wheelbarrow so I can still haul all kinds of stuff

That was the idea. The 10 year old wheelbarrow just sort of died out there so we 'repurposed' it in the corner of the yard!

Been hot & humid here too with some good rain just at the right times Gardens are lovin' it!

Nope!

Calling yourself to account is the most important 1st step after a relapse. But after doing that, let it go because it will not serve you further. And isn't it strange how quitting is actually all bout nothing? N.O.P.E. - it's the only rule we all need to follow and NOPE is all about just not lighting up again so, you do 'nothing' and you'll be successful

-12 we're almost winning now. This should be a walk in the park!

Sorry to hear you smoked again. This nicotine addiction is one ugly beast but .... it CAN be beaten into submission so take what ever time you need (don't make it too long though) and make that final commitment to quit for a better future for YOU! Not us or anybody else. This quitting thing needs to be personal and selfish. It's your life you're saving!

Great work Nana!! You're right. It takes an unwavering commitment and lots of hard work to succeed but it's doable & well worth it in the end Proud and Happy you made it to your 1 year anniversary!

Just to clarify, you're not saying you've actually done this yourself, right?

Now I'm gonna have to look that one up 🤔 I'm imagining this.........

Don't worry about being judged here Steven. There are a couple of members here who may take the tough love approach but that is not a judgement. Think of it as a slap in the face to make you pause and take stock of what you are doing and how you're approaching things. The more you're involved here, the stronger your focus will be on your own quit. Doesn't even matter what you have to add to a post - just dive in. Even if your contribution is; good job! or I agree, or I feel your pain .... doesn't matter the content, What matters is that you're involved frequently. It WILL help Steven!
