Yea but I was trying to be nice? 😄😄

I beg to differ on that because there were a lot of recovery symptoms I went through. One of them being insomnia. Also my gums bled, tongue was super sore, the infamous brain fog. These were not psychological. They were actual things that happened while my body tried to repair itself!

Great job Diane, I stayed close to home for almost my first month because I didn't trust myself to not stop at a store!

@Eight-Toe Joe, one thing you may want to try that I did was take a night time Bayer. Just one was enough to help me get that much needed sleep

Welcome hellkat, yes the first few months are the worst! Each month I read my posts from beginning to end just so I wouldn't forget where I came from. We have a great thread pinned to the top of the SOS forum to pre rrspond to your own SOS. I highly recommend you making yourself one and read it often, especially when you feel yourself caving to a crave. I also am a big fan of posting an SOS if you need that extra support. We will come running to help you get through the crave

I'll nominate Sazerac for all the videos she likes to post and bump

Keep posting Kate and keep reminding yourself of all those reasons you have to stay quit. Stay close, I really think we're your missing link to get past the hurdles that cause you to fail each time. Use us to help you past the tough times!

No, is that a thing in Australia?

Bogus That's bogus man Bogus=not cool

You can tell a lot about a man by the type of underwear he wears, just saying......

True, two landline phone numbers, one for business and one for home TNP has a fax machine

False TNP screens their phone calls

False, I wear eyeshadow and a little foundation TNP has pretended they weren't home when someone came over

Then they're not really friends because true friends are there for the good or bad.... And will help pick you back up when you fall!

False TNP wishes they had teeth like MLMR

Don't I what? 😄😄

Box knife

Turd Better a skid mark than a turd Turd=a rogue piece of poop 😂😂😂

Another thing that helped me, especially with really bad craves, was my JAC (jillars air cigarette). I just pretended I was holding an actual cigarette in my fingers and then went through the motions of "smoking" it. Some use cut straws, pens, etc.

Why the long face?

Old lady I gotta ask my old lady Old lady=spouse or partner

Finding a forum with people who understood what I was going through was instrumental in helping me. Doing the NOPE pledge daily and continually telling myself that all good(?) things must come to an end really helped keep my mind on the prize.

Nothing like an awesome thunderstorm. I miss them the most since moving out to California. We rarely get one 😞

Looks like I stumped you so let's go again 1. In 12th grade I had as many cuts from school as I had days I attended 2. I have a felony on my record which gets me out of jury duty 3. I won $6, 972.00 on a nickel slot machine at the indian casino
