You have pretty much said it all right there Stevo1. We smoked for all kinds of reasons including when we were feeling good about things going on in our life. You know that yet you didn't recognize what was happening and therefore just went with what your junkie brain was suggesting. You will have to be more vigilant this time around - lesson learned I would hope. Maybe stay closer to this place during your next quit. It can help keep you focused when you're interacting with others who have the same goal as you, becoming and remaining smoke free!

It's show & tell time!Congrats on a full 3 years quit Andy, star of the Chicks or Sticks struggle 😁 I'm happy to have been a part of your quit journey @andyc941. Those that quit before me certainly gave me hope that I too could do it. I hope you do something a little special today to recognize the occasion 👍That's not a bad thing Warblian Nope!That would be North American, Eastern Standard time zone (including daylight savings calculation).I also think stress is the primary reason for most relapses. The false belief that smoking relieves that stress is why so many light up again only to find, they feel like crap! Not only is their stress still there but they have just ruined their quit as well. We use smoking as an avoidance tool. Go have a smoke so we don't have to face the situation that is causing the stress. Smoking releases endorphins in the brain which gives us a temporary "good feeling". That's why we think smoking relieves stress - that temporary good feeling we get when we light up. Your stress is still there. The situation that caused the stress is still there. Plus, now you have another stress in your life. The stress that begins building as soon as you put out that smoke. Stress because you're an addict and you need that next fix. Break the cycle - just quit!TDot Slang abbreviation for City of Toronto Canada You going to the Tdot tonight?Starts at 12:01 AM Aug. 1st. Hope you're on the boneyard shift that day. You can start the Sh*t-stirring 👮♂️Nice Job Jack! 2 years is great!Moonglyn! 3 Months is a great quit you have going there. Be sure to recognize your hard work today and stop by to let us know how you're doing.Since there's no celebrations today I thought I'd reach for one. So here's my stats" 2 Years, 6 Months quit as of today! $13,655.00 saved! 22,875 cigarettes not smoked! That last one is the most important to me!You see! Decisions you make (good or bad) affect others in ways you are sometimes not even aware of. I'm sure your Grand Daughter is very happy her Gramma doesn't smoke anymore
