We Quit Cigarettes

Meh. Still a baby.

Not really. I think ducks are nicer to each other than chickens. Mine have had zero issues and are really friendly to each other

So, why do you wait for a month to put them out? ....I know. You just want to enjoy holding them for as long as you can! Right?

You're good! I know this is not remotely as serious as what you are dealing with, but I remember when I first started the decision to eat healthy it was so hard still having the junk food in the house because not everyone was on board. But, I resisted for so long, by the time I got really tempted again, the stuff didnt even taste good to me anymore and I was kinda grossed out by a pop tart, lol. Mind: reprogrammed I guess! Stick to your guns and tell yourself "no" until your self agrees with you!

I'm really mad at him for doing this to me. But, I have to respect him, and his way of life. It's been our way of life for years. I'm pretty sure I can handle it. I poured that shit out last week! I'm the strongest person I personally know!

It's beyond just getting ridiculous here...it has been ridiculous.
I'm used to it now. I've accepted it as my new normal and I just laugh out loud.
I watched this lady freak out and get pissed because this guy got too close to her in line just now.
I literally laughed out loud and people were staring at me...I couldn't help it.

there are now police officers manning the door of my grocery store and they are limiting the number of people they allow in at once.

The mover that came today to give me an estimate for moving the furniture was very talkative....gave me the rundown of everything he is doing to be Corona-19 free. Actually made me feel safer choosing his service. The move is on for Tuesday morning.

Well I turned 60 in January . He's been with me for 25 years this coming July. I can't imagine life without him. But, if I have to, I will go to TN. Then we'll just have to wait and see if he follows me?

Tough love. If he wants you (and I'll bet he does), then he needs to try to help you live, not drag you back down into the hell of addiction just so he can keep the relationship by destroying the woman he thinks he loves. Love does not destroy the beloved. We know what that is--it's the selfish manipulation of an addict. He's chained to this stuff and he wants you there with him with chains on, like him--the way it's always been before.

Call your son and go to him. It sounds like he loves you very much. You can live happily without a man if yours doesn't love you enough to learn how to hate and walk away from chemical dependency. I'll bet though, that if anything can wake him up, it could be the fear of losing you.

That's the spirit, Webby! You just keep on going!
Okay, *ahem* high-school cheerleader-esque encouragement done, I hope that your husband will understand that you're going through some really seriously hard times, and that alcohol is not welcome in the house.
Good luck, Webby. You are strong, incredibly so, for doing all this. You can make it through this.

So, last Friday night y'all were all up late. What's going on tonight? @Kiki what are you doing ? My little over achiever! 32 day, huh? Look at you go girl. I'm so proud of you. That's why I've stayed with this thread for so long. I want to se if you are in it for the long haul?

You're never too old to start over. My husband said the same thing 6 years ago. I'm sure he's younger, but still. He was divorced and they were together 10+ years. He thought he was done and over with the love life until he saw me at a family gathering. It's never too late. People get married when they're 70 now...

@webbysmeme , @FortCluck is right. My dad was 72 when he met and married the love of his life, my sweet and amazing stepmom. They had nearly 20 years together until she died. I'd never known him to be so loved, and in love, and happy. People say life is too short to be miserable... I say it is too LONG to be miserable! I could put up with just about anything if I knew I was going to die next Tuesday ... but there's a better-than-even chance I'm gonna live a lot longer than that. Do I still want to be doing five, ten, fifteen years from now what I'm doing today, if it's making me miserable? Not this chickadee! I know where the door is, and I can drive! Incidentally, I'll be 68 next month and celebrate my 10-year anniversary with the love of MY life in August.

I'll probably be up for a while longer, if you want to talk.
I won't be doing what I did last night, though -- heck no, I am definitely not going to bed at five in the morning two nights in a row! I'm tellin' ya, man... that Wikipedia's a dangerous place....
Anyway. I'll give a heads-up before I head to bed, but I'll probably be around the site for a while yet.

We are going into lockdown in the morning. I'm worried. I need chicken feed and cigarettes, coffee and stuff. The taxi usually takes me shopping. They are closed. Now what? I guess I guess I'll be forced to quit smoking too! Against my will‼ our feed store is closed!

If I can be strong till he passes out, I will!

You hang on to that thought!
Glad to see you back..,we missed you!

The big question is do I want to test his love by leaving? Our state is shutting down tomorrow! If I go, he may not be able to follow me even if he wants to. And then I have to wonder, what kind of life would I have without him? And, he has BCBS insurance thru his job, I need that.
I feel like I'm over thinking all this. That's what he always tells me. But, it's a lot to consider .
