Trying to figure out what to do. I've heard about these all my life but never have come across one until now 🤔

17 It's melting on it's own now, which suits me just fine 👍

So glad to see you're still smoke free Judi 🤗 I'm no social media buff, don't even have Facebook but much to my surprise, when I started coming here, which was mostly just to keep myself occupied and my hands and mind busy, I soon found that talking to others and reading about others going through the same thing as me somehow helped to at least keep me focused. It wasn't a magic bullet or anything just one more tool I could use to help drag myself forward. I remember from my own early quit journey the most frustrating thing for me was the pace of seeing positive changes was just so slow that I didn't even realize they were happening until I looked back on things after the fact. I wish I had have had more faith and patience in the quit process during the early days. That alone almost wrecked my quit early on. I needed to believe in the process and my own ability to endure the process. I does work Judi! Keep fighting!

Where'd ya go .................

Wasn't a fender-bender that's for sure! Sounds like his injuries weren't life threatening but it could mean the end of his golf career. He already had serious issues with his back and several surgeries in that regard. Can't imagine this accident did his back any good either. He's mid-40's and that's old for most sports. He's shown he's dedicated and committed but this may be a bridge too far even for him. Hopefully he will be able to be fully mobile after recovery so he can be a good dad to your kids. I would imagine that's what counts most to him at this point anyway.

Tiger Woods was involved in a serious car wreck just outside of Los Angeles early this morning. He's currently in hospital in surgery for multiple leg injuries. Boy, what a shame after having come back from the other troubles he had in his life some years ago plus many back issues & surgeries. At 45 years old, this could end his pro golf career. Hope he's OK in the end so he can at least spend quality time with his 2 kids! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/tiger-woods-injured-rollover-car-crash-near-los-angeles-extracted-n1258633

I think I expected the healing to happen a lot more quickly and that I would notice things changing every day. I just underestimated how subtle and slow the change process is. Reflecting on it later, it all made sense because I had repeated these connections between my actions and smoking every single day for decades so it's only logical it takes time to re-establish new connections with your daily routine once you quit. I'm just glad the nonsmoker changes didn't take decades 🙂 Keep moving forward Linda because you're making progress whether you realize it every day or not.
