@Linda if you go to your profile you'll see them. Looks like they came as part of the update.

I've noticed we have new badges, must be from the update.

Oh that's good, sounds like you have a bunch of stuff to keep your mind occupied.

Good on you for posting Steven, you sure don't want to keep doing those first couple of weeks over again! Have you tried distracting yourself with our Social threads? Maybe play a game or two or watch some funny videos? Sometimes just sucking on a candy works good too. I was stuck on soft peppermint puffs my whole first year lol. And of course there's always my JAC if all else fails! Hang tough, you got this!

Welcome aboard graciegirl and congratulations on quitting! Its good to see you already taking advantage of our video forum. A lot of members have found them extremely helpful

Welcome @Kris, Congratulations on four days quit! The first few days/weeks/months might suck but once past them you never have to repeat them again! We can offer you all the support to help you past them. We have members in all phases of quitting from newbies in their first year quit to old phartes who've been quit for over a year. We also have tons of great info about our addiction as well as a video library if that's more your thing.

Something I could use?

I know I said I want this topic focused on COPD and not me but you guys were all so kind in telling me I shouldn't be embarrassed to go out in public that I wanted you to know I took it all to heart. I also discovered oxy glasses! They're glasses that can be fitted with a prescription lens and have a cannula built into them! So no more oxygen hose across my face I really think this may be a game changer for me and part of my researching it further is thanks to all of you P.S. anyone still on the fence about quitting, this could be your future problem too.........

There are just as many mean people too!

What kind of advice is that?

Should I give it more time?

So many things are made in China because of how cheaply they can be made

Is it fair that if it doesn't catch my interest in the first five minutes I can change the channel?

I wasn't made in China

Heck yea Linda, Maybe googling possible destinations will keep your mind focused on something else?

Geez woman, look at all that money you've saved from not smoking!! Over thirteen hundred dollars! Are you thinking of ways to use it or at least some of it? That'll help take your mind off your crave

Rant away @Linda, get it off your chest! You are doing great and I'm so glad that getting past these bad days is getting easier. That's what happens every time you get through it until pretty soon these bad days are just bad days. Smoking won't even enter your mind

I agree @Doreensfree!

@Doreensfree, I guess those people must be thinking something is better then nothing? I did read too that even after the first shot you're about 70-80% protected

I read yesterday that we about 28,000 people in our county who never showed up for their second shot

I think they said it originated in China but not sure if it was by the batenders

A thank you also to @Devil Doll, for monitoring our facebook page and posting about the outage. We appreciate it!
