It isn't the gaining weight that is a worry. Diabetes sucks too. Pretty sure heart disease is no fun either.

Organic brain syndrome also sucks.

Yeah that's so true! I know several people who have had heart surgery because of their unhealthy eating habits. Young people too in their 40s

Organic brain syndrome also sucks.

I'm not Googling.

I refused to Google this week.

Organic brain syndrome also sucks.

One of the worst & saddest... imo.
Like Dementia/Alzheimer's.... there's nothing good about it.

I wish I had sedatives to help with my sleep, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea, since I think there is a decent chance that I'd become dependant on them.

When I went plant based years ago I threw out tons of my favorite things. I think at one point I cried But the visual of throwing it away made a new beginning for me.

When my husband quit smoking he handed me his last pack of cigarettes empty and said he was done. It was my Christmas gift. That was 5 years ago. I still have the cigarette pack as a memory.

That’s awesome!!!

The act/visual of throwing it away definitely helps.

I burned old stuff one day to start a new beginning or a new chapter. It was a great feeling because a bunch of us did it together.

I have some stuff I need to burn haha

My friend used to put a pen where they would have a cigarette and sometimes put it to their mouth. They said it helped.

Good idea.

Yes.
I need to do it for myself first before I tell any real people.
Don't ask me why because I can't explain this.


You fake people get to deal with my crankiness...and help me through it.

Makes sense to me! And we will gladly be here.

I joined two of these type websites last week or the week before.
I don't like them. People are rude and I don't have time to waste trying to figure out who is who on those sites.

I choose my BYC family.

That makes complete sense!! This isn’t a forum or anything though. It’s just an article with some good tips/suggestions in it. Totally understand why you wouldn’t want to join a new forum or whatever! but I do think the article is worth reading. It is pretty short but got some good tips for keeping your hands and mouth busy haha

I don't mind... I don't think any of us mind. Addictions really suck. I wish no one had to deal with them. Once you get past it though, it's like you climbed Mount Everest and you're on top of the world.

Agreed!!! It really is so great when you get there haha which all of you guys will!!!

We're just a bunch of faker nutters here!

I just read back my post and it sounds like some really bad homicidal advice! Sorry about that. I will specify that it's quail I'm referring to for you to take care of.......

:

I wasn't goi g to start this thread because it's just embarrassing to me.
I'm glad my friend forced me to start it.

I can't believe it actually helped me get through the day.
Thank you all nutters.

Nothing embarrassing about it!! Tons of people go through the same thing as you do!!

We ARE a community Kiki you know that!

yes we are!!

Have a discussion 'bout my sweet tea addiction every three months with my doctor. She told me i can keep my tea if i do more physical labor: Just started to dig up another vegetable bed. Nobody is taking away my sweet tea! - I gave up all soft drinks and most of the treats, but my tea - nope! You need to have at least one unhealthy habit!

I'm going to go ahead and call it a day.
It's late enough for me to go to bed.


I can't believe I did it.

We knew you could!! Proud of you

@CarpCharacin I took Chantix before and I had a nasty side effect.
That side effect kept me from trying it again.

I was DREADING starting this medicine again.
I thought for sure I was going to experience the same side effect.

I have not felt it....not even a tiny bit. I kept waiting for it to hit and it hasn't.
Had I known that I wasn't going to feel it I would have done this years ago.
