Welcome back to quitting... there are a few of us here who have thrown away substantial quits. So firstly, use it as a bench mark and a motivator to better this time. Before you know it this will be the sticky quit. I'm like Rozuki, for me I know one puff and I'd be back to a pack a day of the old coffin nails. I could not tempt myself with the occasional this or that. For me early on my triggers were linked to breaking habbits, especially when at softball or board, so I would have a chewwy (gum) instead... it helped me... and they weren't necessarily NRT gums.. I just had to chuck any gum in my mouth when I would have normally had a smoke. I also had a little memory game on my phone I would play... the mental concentration to finish the game was enough to take it away from the crave.

I did the NRT gum thing to ease the start of my quit so happy to share my experiences with that if anyone needs. I had a long term quit that I threw away and waited over a decade to do it again so there is a different set of hurdles emotionally I have found that comes with that. I found I just sort of fell into my buddy support group and it came from those much more established in their quits, those who had lost a long quit and now had a successful quit, those at the same stage as me and even those coming behind, it might seem odd that those coming behind you could be the ones holding you up and together if you need it but it happens. So happy for anyone to reach out.

Well how else would we predict the score in ODI or T20 matches with out using the WASP formula... and who else would be called WASPish /prepy names like Digby, Bunny & Yates???? Are octopus prehistoric seas spiders that never made it to land?

1606... the first dutch land in Australia and our history "begins" because we don't count the 40,000+ years of Aboriginal history that proceeded it... and yes it is possible that the French and Portuguese beat the Dutch some time in the 1500s BUT because the 'maps' are not linked to any voyage or observations of landing apparently they are considered guesses and don't count.

Canberra is bitter atm... they are expecting below 0 tonight... Canberra is the coldest capitol in Australia, even colder than Hobart which is the most southern. We are expecting 17 tomorrow but the wind is coming from the south... which means off the arctic. So its going to feel a lot colder than today. In Melbourne this time of year we don't get much of a temp drop overnight... so might be 8 overnight and 15 during the day.... but in Canberra the gaps bigger...Here are the next 10 days for Canberra low/high..... -1/14; 0/17; 0/17; 1/13; -1/13; 1/13; -3/11(19th); -7/11 (20th... yep that's minus 7); 0/14 & 0/17 .... its the coldest winter there in over a decade. I hope she has ducted heating.
