^^^ What @DenaliBlues said!! Take a look at the other times you didn't reach your goal and make changes this time around. Change your way of thinking about smoking. Once you put the possiblity of smoking in the past mentally and start believing you're starting on the path to a healthier, wealthier life, it'll be a little easier. Then start changing up your daily routine a little, as DenaliBlues said. Distraction from routine & positive thoughts toward reaching your goal will take you far in this journey to freedom!

Nope! Anyone for Pizza in Bequia? (Small Island of the coast of St. Vincent & the Grenadines)

Good for you making a decision to quit altogether! Putting anything in your lungs, other than fresh air, is dangerous long term; IMO. Wondering what level of nicotine is in the Vape juice you're using, as it's adjustable and the higher values are higher than what's in cigarettes I believe. Also, just seeing people who vape, they seem to take a drag or two then go about their business but then a minute later they're back at it. Seems to me it's easy to vape a lot more than if you were smoking cigarettes? Maybe I'm wrong on that but that's what I see often. Make that unwavering commitment to yourself then get at it! You can & will do anything you really set your mind to. We're here to help in any way we can, even if that's just moral support and pointers on what's happening as you travel through your quit process. As already pointed out, there's a treasure trove of information all over this site. It's the very best place you could be so ... come here often as it'll become your safe place full of people who get what you're going through. You'll find everyone here super nice & helpful; no bad actors in our home and you're now part of our non-smoking family so let's get this done

YEP! It's Chicksand 18

Congrats @Genecanuck!! That 1st month is always the hardest to get through and now, it's done & dusted! Still more work to do of course but you've kept a steady hand on not smoking so far - no reason not to keep that up going forward. Be sure to take some time today and treat yourself. Rewards along the way for a job well done are important!

Thought it would have been warmer up there in our nation's capitol, with all that hot air coming from the Federal Legislature

WOW! That's some bad-ass flooding @johnny5 Was wondering who puts all those sand bags along the shoreline that were in some photos? Is that up to the homeowners to buy and place them or is it some sort of Emergency Agency that would do that when a bad storm is expected? So sad to see water up so far along the wall of a house in one picture. You just know it's gonna be hugely expensive and take months if not a year or more to get it done cuz all the trades will be overloaded for a long time! And once that water gets up to the level of the engine of your car ... it's toast Between flooding and wildfire events these past few years, the insurance industry is buckling and beginning to just plain not offer certain coverages any longer - sad
