PeaceTrain

Congratulations on your quit, Rusty and kudos to you for quitting when you’re retired. My mom did the same thing when she retired. She had not smoked at work (the last few years anyway) and she just just knew if she didn’t quit she’d be chain smoking. Yes, it was hard but today she’s got 18 years smoke free and she’s going to be 86 in July. If she hadn’t quit, she wouldn’t be in great health like she is and she may not even have lived this long. Yes, today is hard but the rewards are endless. Keep your eye on the prize. Your freedom and improved health is priceless.

Oh dear Pumpkin. I'm so sorry about all of it. You deserve better. I hope you'll come around soon to realizing you deserve to be good to yourself too and get back on this train.

Hi and welcome Hermine. That's a very admirable quit you've got going there. Respect!

NOPE!!!

Jo, you have been amazing stepping into Reci's pen and keeping a seamless flow of celebrations going in his absence. Only a true OCD'd person could have done such a fine job! Reci, hope you had a fantastic vacation!!! Can't wait to hear you squeal about it!

Keep the faith, Novo. Whatever challenges you face during your quit are temporary; the rewards are permanent. Keep your eye on the prize and now that you’re at it with quitting drinking as well, it’s a great opportunity to look at everything you put into your body and keep putting in what’s good for you. Fresh air, clean water, nourishing food will all assist with your detox. We’re here for you’

I’m taking off today. It’s a travel day plus I twisted my ankle just a little in kickboxing on Friday plus still pretty low energy. Still on Whole30, waiting for that famous switch to flip where you get all this amazing energy...

I never knew

Big beefies plz Novels or short stories?

NOPE!!!

Ahem.... JO? You already ARE in the 1% ! I'm pretty sure Joel is referring to the 99% of people who "try" quitting using the gum, then go straight back to smoking, or try reducing smoking with intermittent use of gum in between smokes then eventually toss the gum and keep the smokes. We all know there are tons of people who make half-azzed, lame attempts at "trying" to quit, hoping that the gum will be the magic bullet and when it turns out not to be, they're right back to smoking. That is NOT your jam at all! You have a solid, enviable quit going that has sustained and has helped other people to sustain theirs. You're awesome, like everyone else in the mystical 1%!!! Wave your banner- tall and proud!

1 hour dance aerobics this morning

NOPE!!!

Museum pasta or rice?

You've surely earned that, Boo. Plus, time off is important to give your body the chance to rebuild. Gym for me today: Zumba then kickboxing. Still low energy but keeping it going

WTG, Boater! Yes, you can have whatever kinds of feelings you may have but you don't have to act upon them. Your job now is to keep that quit till the quit keeps you. (Hey, I like that one!)

Congrats Grund! You've got this now!

Finally won one tonight after a 6-game losing streak. Let's go O's! Whomp whomp whomp...

Awwwwww thanks, all you wonderful people! Yes I’m celebrating today: at the gym this morning now in the hair salon getting pampered. I couldn’t ask for a more fun and supportive community! You’re the best!!!

French chefs know what to do with a chicken hammer

Thanks to the Scots for all you give to the world not least single malts

WTG, Claire! Enjoy all the amenities of the lido deck and your freedom!

NOPE!!!

Welcome, Sunny. You know the drill and you also know every quit is different. Let's make this the last and final one so you'll never have to go through this again. You're in the right place. Hang in there.

NOPE!!!
