We Quit Cigarettes

[webbysmeme]

We were just discussing this....I'm pretty much a hermit, but I still feel a bit 'trapped'.
It must be torture for those who run around all day every day.

Exactly, I never see anybody, so it,s not bothering me. Yet

 

[CindyinSD]

It doesn't bother me. I enjoy most people most of the time, but I can be quite happy all by myself, too. I feel so bad for all the people who stand to lose their needed income and have no back-up, though. I know we should all have savings in case of something like this, but for some that's almost impossible to manage.

Then stay with them.

I'm thinking about it. Tennessee is a long way. And we don't know yet if state borders will be closed. I have animals here to care for.

We will start online something on March 23.
This is just a mess.

@Kiki, Cigs won't make this better. They'll only ever make things worse--maybe a sedative for a few moments, but then you're trapped again. This is your chance to strengthen your resolve and harden your new identity as a non-smoker.

In CS Lewis' children's book, The Horse and His Boy, the narrator comments, "Shasta had yet to learn that the reward for doing something extremely difficult was almost always to be sent to do something more difficult still." (I didn't look it up, but that's pretty close, I think.) You can do this. If you truly want to be free (and not only from cigarettes), you must do this.

It could be we're headed into a dark time--probably not healthwise, but likely economically. We will all need your cheerfulness, your strength and your wonderful gift of leadership. You have the ability to inspire others and enable them to do difficult things they may not have had the strength to accomplish without your inspiration and encouragement.

Remember if you get the coronacrap, you can beat this coronacrap much better with clean lungs.

I'm am not worried about getting sick. Not one bit. I'm just worried about the grocery store closing even though they said they will not close it.

 

[Kiki]

Basically, I talk to no one almost all of the time.

Who orders the elfs around?

I'm not reading back/catching up just yet.
