Reciprocity

fore So it is written, we shall abide by the book! Sticks count 2 for each post, chicks count only 1. It's "in the book"! Five!

That's it M5!! I believe each one of us needs "that moment" when we realize we HAVE to quit; no if's and's or buts! Whether that's or 1st 10th or 20th try. Sooner or later we just get it!

^^^ Yes, none of us were in complete denial but we just needed that one moment that brought the full impact that smoking was having on us into crystal clear focus. That;s what is required for us to finally decide to do something about it. At least - that's my take on it because that's what it took for me to realize I HAD to quit. You have it in the bag this time PT! I know it to be true because of all the things you post and the progression you have made since you became a member of our family. Smoking is so in your past now! From here on to the lido deck, you just gotta be on guard for and "sneak attacks", which are highly unlikely at this point.

I quit one time and one time only. So far, it is intact and I plan that it will be that way for the rest of my life. So; if you are a new quitter trying to say NO to this addiction for the first time in your life, I say .... it is possible! You just have to want to do it badly enough. Like everything else in life, it's really about how much you want it and are you ready to put in the work to get there?

We have our own issues here with cats at the moment. Got a female abandoned cat that we just had spayed. She is growling and biting and clawing everything she can the past day or so. Frost-bite nose and the incision area are still healing so I guess it's not happy days yet but hey, at least she's got warmth now right? The collar of shame to keep her from licking her incision area is not helping I'm sure. We can't even get close enough to tie up the strings that keeps the collar around her neck. When does your daughter get there? She could hold the cat while you dump drops in it's eye maybe? If the timing there isn't right then you'll just have to hold the cat's head with one hand while you squeeze the drops in his eye with the other hand. Temp him with delectable treats then .... jump on him! That'll teach him

Good thing you posted. I was going to appeal to the international board of "Chicks & Sticks"! OO

Cheaters!!

That's what I always thought f*uck was - roundabout! Now you've come along and changed my entire reality

You misunderstand. The "40 ounce flu" is as a result of this ....................

That's Great news Doreen! Finally ..... and now you can soon give the boot to beetroot! You must surely have had your fill of that stuff

LOL - Exactly. I have a bad case of the 40 Ounce Flu today

Hang in there JKPK! 1 month is huge and those urges to smoke can't last much longer. Force yourself to think about something else when you find yourself focused on thoughts of smoking. You CAN control your thoughts. Don't let the addiction drag you backward. You've worked too hard and long to go back to the start!

NOPE!

I know what that's like!!

What ever works for YOU Jack!!! All that's important is that we all quit smoking. How ever we get there is up to each one of us individually. Personally, I'm just happy that you are still quit, as I'm sure you are too
