This really deserves another bump ...... great thread and some humour😊

Was supposed to be a like but a thanks will do....as it would be helpful to a lot of people including myself ... Darcy perhaps the one you didnt mean to hurt, will cut you some slack, as firstly, you are early in your quit with emotions all over the show and 2nd...as mentioned...these are trying times that we are all trying to get through....I know I would

Bottom line Darcy....you kept your quit and that makes me happy....I had countless thoughts of buying smokes or bumming them....I didnt. glad you still here

Nice Ace! keep it up☺

Was it Mee that mentioned you being a wise woman☺ I have to agree, as your reply is spot on and one that I will revert to in tough times...I have to agree with Darcy about the advice and encouragement received by many here .... it is much appreciated!

Thanks Sazerac....had some hairy moments, but I usually cope by going indoors and opening a book if possible..I would very much like to keep this quit

This is surreal isn't it? The whole world is experiencing the same thing at different levels, at the same time, loo paper and all. I still want to know what loo paper has to do with all of this. At the moment I'm eating pringles

Congrats Darcy! I'm really happy you made the first week....from now on in.....a breeze! 😊

Ok I had to!...very nice river!

geez...its happened quite a few times that when I open a thread, I sometimes click on the persons name who opened the thread by mistake, and takes me to their profile..especially if im on my cell...so if it shows that I have viewed your profile more times than is healthy...I promise im not stalking you...sorry😕

Stay safe folks...in my part of the world we have 68 know cases and paranoia has taken hold I had a genuine dust sneeze today and I thought they were going to throw me out lol Schools closing Wednesday....walked into a supermarket today and had my hands sanitized by a security guard ...smelled awful! No gatherings allowed of more than 100 people...travel ban etc My bar is full so I'm ok.....PLEASE someone explained the logic to the shortage of loo paper

Darcy you amaze me! Incredibly upbeat and handling this quit well. I remember well my sense of smell improving, hence the increase in appetite. The only time it disturbs me is standing next to someone who just had a smoke...yech!

You are doing great Ace...day 5 already! Hang in there, it's well worth it!

Thanks to all! did I say embrace the addiction? Seriously?...i meant quit! (sorted) This was necessary in order to move on...I was way to quiet, doing too much thinking which can get me into trouble

Before I even entertained the thought of quitting, I always looked at drug users or addicts with pity, thinking how lucky I am not to have fallen into that trap. Ironic huh? Now I have empathy. I'm not a person who bares her soul, wears her heart on on her sleeve, nor starting a thread about something she doesn't know much about....lol I know I'm not the type of person to join a group therapy session on addiction introducing myself and telling my story. Never! Out of the question! Why? Because my fear of quiting was to acknowledge my addiction, and in acknowledging my addiction, made me no different to any addict. 10 days into my 1st quit, I read Allen Carr, surfed the net, and found Quittrain...I knew this quit wouldn't last, and that I just needed to find an excuse to have that smoke. 40 odd days into my quit, I found one, feeble as it was, it was the excuse I was looking for. Still lurking on Qtrain, I started to take things more seriously... 4 days and 2 pkts later, I found myself stepping into that group therapy room...Qtrain..a very brave move from this introvert, but a wise one. It will take me a while to accept the thought that I'm always one puff away from renewing my addiction, to start baring my soul a little, opening up, feeling proud of the quit I am now building, to start enjoying the things I most enjoy without the necessity of have a smoke as well. One thread stood out for me..Introsucktion..MLMR which I highly recommend to all newbies like me..read twice and still find something useful. I know for a fact that I will have a wobbly and will be sorely tempted, and sincerely hope that I have the courage to ask for help. I have made the first step of opening up...now to embrace this frucking quit and start living Thanks for listening......you are all very appreciated, I hope you know that😊
