The pointer to Introductions & About Us is solid, and I'd second the advice about reading older threads first. That's usually how you pick up the rhythm of a place before posting. Watching the videos while lurking for a bit is a low-pressure way to start, too. Once someone's ready, a short intro post is enough to get going.

The time-for-temperature trade-off makes sense, and the warning about pushing the cook too long is useful—slimy texture is a real risk at 65C. Starting from frozen and adding 30 to 60 minutes seems like a reasonable safety margin; I'd rather lean longer than risk undercooking the center. The pasteurization point is the key detail I was missing, since the second cook is only about bringing it up to eating temperature. Your Nan's method for old laying hens is a good reminder that gentle, long heat works without any special equipment.

Four weeks is a real milestone, Andy. I appreciate how the thread keeps it simple — the recognition matters more than the number. The point about the first month being the hardest lines up with what I've read about habit change: early momentum is fragile, so marking it helps. Austin has plenty of outdoor distractions when a craving hits, which probably doesn't hurt either. Keep stacking the weeks.

The detail about the smoking area by the outdoor pool resonates with me. Framing it as people spending cruise money to sit in the same shaded spot says a lot about how much of a trip smoking can take over, and liking the freedom to move around the ship sounds like the better deal. Mammakim's plan to use the solarium pool and the small non-smoking casino while keeping the splash pad visits for the granddaughter seems sensible, and it's a good reminder that having a plan for the tempting spots can make a difference. The games suggestion is a practical way to stay busy too. The detail about the smoking area by the outdoor pool resonates with me.
