We Quit Cigarettes

[sourland]

Good morning Quitters. Let's make it one more healthy day.

Just posted in one yesterday, I have dominiques and some mixes of my own incubating now.

Nice... I have Pekin ducks and barnyard mixes going right now in the incubator.

I got 3 new ducklings for incubating ducklings for someone and 7 bantams (TSC).

So I'm a stress eater really bad and I've been doing other things to keep my mind off food. I've been drink a lot of water too. I've been staying away from sugar because it's a huge addiction for me, it's honestly like a drug to me but it does crazy things to my body like heart palpitations. It also gives me the shakes if I eat it and I don't have more. Sugar to me is worse than any addiction I've ever had before, it's honestly scary to think about because so many people eat it in the world.

Yesterday to distract my mind I did journaling, games, a puzzle, and played with the ducklings.

I can't believe how fast ducklings grow! I had ducklings before and I guess I forgot that they go from tiny to full grown in no time. They're double the size already! The silver ones are my favorite don't tell my husband his dark dark isn't my favorite.

Hey all. I need to finish catching up. Fell off the wagon again last night after a couple of beers and an amazing grilled steak with a friend. It was worth it, I'm not even going to lie.

My state got put into lockdown, this mass hysteria is getting ugly here. Be interesting (if not fun) to see where this takes us.

I think it's hardest for people to not fall off the wagon in times like these. The steak sounds like it was good.

My husband's work has had a few crazies who don't want to follow the rules they've set. I hear stories that make me a bit on edge.

Stay safe, @ShannonR! How are you and your little ones doing?
You made it farther this time -- I think about seven or eight days, whereas last time you only made it six. That's progress! And if the smoke was worth it and you enjoyed yourself, then that's good -- better than beating yourself up, I think (though, admittedly, some guilt feelings can help to motivate someone -- that's basically guilt-tripping's whole shtick -- but not too much, and not all the time!).
The fight starts again, but as long as you keep picking yourself up, you can make it! Hang in there!

Thanks, @Sapphire Sebright. It's definitely a struggle.

The kiddos are doing well, no more endless snot nose and whining. I sure hope they stay healthy from here on out, the last month or so has been on again and off again yucky for them.

I did make it through more days without smoking this time, suppose I should give myself credit for that! I am 100% accomplishing my personal goals (save money, be healthier) so there's that to be proud of. Just have to figure out how to survive these uncertain times now.

Indeed....just keep on keeping on and doing the best you can.

I think my chick is retarded.
He's not running around yet.
He's making me nervous.
I think I'm going to head to the feed store now to get a friend.

Maybe still exhausted from hatching? Hopefully a friend will perk that little cutie right up!
