Where's my refund 😆 -14

It's a helpless feeling isn't it Jillar? Knowing how it's possible for anyone to quit if they truly want to and understanding that those with COPD are just hastening the progression of their disease by continuing to smoke There's just some si*t ya can't change no matter how much you'd like to. Sad; very sad 😧

Odd how we keep doing sh*t that isn't good for us but ...... NOPE! No longer!!

Fantastic milestone my friend! 5 Years 🤗 Hope you have a Hoppy Day 😃

Know that you have done the best thing you could by quitting smoking and it's important to let others know the reality of long term smoking. If your story isn't motivation for others to quit & stay quit then I don't know what is 🥰 Unfortunately, as you stated in your post about the Facebook group, some just don't heed the message no matter how or where it's delivered. This is how insidious this addition is! We are all invincible .... until we aren't!

OO

Can't say ..... I'm a Bad Boy 😆

In our house, the warden & I don't have any real houseplants other that this one lonely African Violet that we've had like forever! I don't even remember when we got it but it's been 20 or 30 years I expect. In our old house this thing would get a couple or three flowers in the summertime and nothing in the winter but it always survived. We moved about 3 years ago and brought 'The Plant'. Stuck it somewhere in the dining room near a window but the direct light conditions are not great there. It hasn't flowered since we moved here. About 2 months ago we were moving some crap around for some reason and the plant ended up on a cabinet near a window in the front room. I noticed it was getting direct sunlight for a couple hours each morning. Well ..... low & behold after about a month, this thing developed a flower, then two , then .............. Here's what it looks like today! I've never seen such a transformation in a plant ever in my life! I think it's trying to tell us it's found it's Happy Place 😍

My favorite Star! Congrats on 7 Years AMAZING!

Early quits mostly such big time emotions! But, this is the timeframe when you develop your coping skills. Whether those be going for a walk, having a shower mid-day just because it distracts you or whatever! Doesn't matter as long as you don't end up listening to your junkie brain telling you to light up. This is the real battle ..... ignoring what your junkie thoughts are telling you to do. Understand that this doesn't last forever. It's part of your journey but in retrospect, it's an instant. A very challenging one but just an instant. Get beyond that and you'll be fine!
