QuittingGirl

I think the cartons that I saw were $10.00, I can't remember, or that might have been for a bottle of Absolut vodka. I'm just glad I don't smoke anymore because the prices of cigarettes in NYC are about $150.00 a carton!! Insane!!

Wow that sounds great! You sure have been on some amazing cruises!! Yeah I could imagine how rowdy and loud the cruises during Christmas and Spring break are!! 37 days, wow!! I don't know if I could be on a ship for that long, although maybe I could...LOL!! My dream is to go to Scotland and it almost happened as we were booked for a 10 day trip in June of 2020, but that was scrapped because of Covid. So my husband and I are hoping maybe next year. We were in St. Thomas several years ago and I loved it there not only because it's beautiful, but Americans can buy $1600 worth of duty free goods. Since I smoked at that time, we were able to take back 5 cartons of cigs per person and the prices were really cheap. Don't have to worry about that anymore! We were also allowed to bring back 5 bottles of liquor a person as well and those prices were cheap too. Since the cruise left from NYC, we were able to take all of the bottles because we just took a taxi home from the pier.

NOPE!!

Hi @Arnolder You will find a whole bunch of physical and mental feelings happening when you quit smoking. Your body is going through withdrawal and many changes are taking place. I remember having this weird feeling in my mouth for several weeks in addition to having a sense of doom and dread. Eventually all of these things that everyone goes through will go away. If you are able to take the time to sleep and just lay around, then do it. Whatever helps you. Also drink a lot of water to flush the toxins out of your body. Try and keep busy to help you keep your mind off of smoking. You are doing great, and remember one day at a time. Why don't you get one of those ticker banners so you can see all the days you have been quit plus the money you saved by not smoking.

The cruise sounds wonderful!! Was it a 3 week cruise? Yeah I don't like those mega ships either...way too crowded. Some of them are like small cities!!

Welcome back @Reciprocity What ship did you go on? Very nice pictures. Old Town Cartagena reminds me of Old San Juan when I was there. Cruises are great, so nice and relaxing. What other ports did you go to?

The two of you are doing really great!! Before you know it you will be a month quit and then 2, 3 and 4 and so on! The time just flies by because the longer you stay quit, the less urges you get and after a while you won't be thinking of smoking all day long. When I first quit, I would think of smoking all day long, every minute it was on my mind. Now at 9 months, maybe a couple times a day. I'm hoping by the time I get to a year quit, I won't think of it at all. So just hang in there and it will happen to you two as well!!

-3 Good morning!!

NOPE!!
