Going to go see my Pork Chop

ha,ha ....Dairy Queen is an ice cream place ( some locations serves burgers and wot not too. (OMG! I'm spelling words like Jo now!) Shake is a milk shake and a Blizzard is a really thick milk shake - really more semi-frozen ice cream. They flavour those in many ways and add all shorts of stuff in. In Bat's case - Butterfinger is a chocolate bar so it's probably got bits of that in it and maybe even a whole one stuck in the top of it?

#2 ?

^^^ YES, chocolate shake please!

^^^ Maybe he's planning on breaking up with his little Piggy? You never know with Pork Chop

OMG ............. PIZZA is like .........................

Gander Newfoundland, Canada Yesterday (June 26th) ? Sun Block would apparently be optional? And YES! This is the actual community where the "Come From Away" play actually happened

She wants Portugal to win because if they do, Pork Chop will go to Aussiland and spank her good!! (Don't worry. Once you've been here longer, you'll actually understand what I just said and why ?)

Great post W and all true. Attitude is a huge factor and it's pretty easy to let yourself slide into a negative place. Make a conscious effort to think about the benefits you are now enjoying and yes, there's plenty of those right from day 1

Hey Rory! Good to see you around again. Your story is not all that unusual. Thanks for putting it into words. This helps others understand what we quitters go through. Quitting involves a long period or readjustment. Perhaps longer for some than others but, the fact of the matter is that for all those who take the journey and stick with it for the duration, we do eventually get there. To the freedom point where we have turned the tables on benefits vs struggle. Be proud that you have put in this much work to get to where you are now and continue the work because you will get to where you want to be!

Kelly, this happens to most of us. That is to say, struggling with our quit a couple or three months in. We need to just put our head down and power through those few days. @Jetblack knows this very well as she struggled at the 3 month quit point. She got through it but I know it was tuff for a while. I hope you find a way and the right time to kick that gum out of your life. Yes, it'll probably create some anxiety for you but that's only temporary. Freedom from nicotine is FOREVER providing you just follow the NOPE principal

4 Months is a Sweet Quit Gordo! Way to go!! Be sure to celebrate now. Have a Happy Fore!

Sorry I'm late to the party but, welcome Missyp! There are a few things right here on the Quit Train you can do to distract yourself actually. There's a ton of older threads to read on every page and you will soon see that we're all "just like you"! That's the main benefit of being here. We get what it;s like to be in your shoes right now! There's also a lot of videos to watch about nicotine addiction and the myths it creates in your mind. Then, there's the games page where you can lose yourself for hours on end There's a bunch of games that may be of interest to you and, it's a great way to meet new wacky friends too! Others have given you great advice already and I would just like to provide additional food for thought. Regardless of the quit method you choose, the 2 phase objective is the same for all of us quitters. Get nicotine out of our bodies as soon as possible and, retrain our brain so it doesn't immediately default to picking something up, sticking it our mouth, lighting it up and inhaling multiple times a day for a whole host of reasons. The order in which we do these 2 things is not all that important but both must happen before we can be comfortable as non-smokers. Take your seat here in First Class Missy and enjoy the ride
