We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

Ya'll, there is hope! Found this white gold on the shelves today. A lady edged by my cart and was oogling it. I told her there was more before she got any big ideas

I've always used the word nuts.
I didn't start saying nutter until BYC.

I think the term "nutter" is very fitting for us chicken-hearted folks!

 

[Sapphire Sebright]

Oh, definitely. I know I'm a nutter!
BackYard Nutters... yep, that's us.

Whenever I hear nutter. I think of Nutter Butters. My youngest used to love them

"Have a.... nother Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich coo-ookie!" (Singing)

If the neighbors can smell all those goodies, you might have trouble keeping them out of your bubble.

Yea, one of my next door neighbors kept texting me memes. Maybe she smelled the bread!

Okay, I'm logging off for the night. Good night, everybody, I hope that you all sleep well! Great job on making it through another day, Kiki! Keep it up!
@WVduckchick, how have you been doing? Let us know, please!
@webbysmeme -- hello when you read this. If you don't mind me asking, what happened? I hope that you're doing okay, whatever happened.

Sweet dreams, everybody! See you all tomorrow!

I did not leave my yard and I did not smoke today. Either me or my kids lost the remote to my TV, I had to unplug the damned thing to turn it off. Kinda aggravated. Otherwise, day was great.

I might even do some homework tonight. It isn't due for another 10 days, but I got papers to write when school resumes. My professors should just give me an A in all my classes and let me take the rest of the semester off. I don't work well under stressful situations

I for 1 would like to know what is going on with y'all. you are in our prayers, good luck

I am in a kind of social self isolation. Just go out for necessary shopping. Take a walk or a cycle tour. Avoid personal contact. Pick up the phone more often.

If we don't avoid contact, I guess over 5% of the ww population will die of this virus. Because the medics can’t help you anymore if Covid-19 is spreading fast.

I don't believe believers in some kind of religion are less vulnerable. Unless their community has no contact with the world outside.

I joined an online smoking thing...those nutters are strangers. I prefer BYC.

This is a ridiculous mind game...I keep telling myself I can do it.

I quit that addiction 4 yeas ago after decades. It was difficult but am very pleased now and don't plan to go back.

Here are two points that has greatly assisted me;...

1) Cleanse your heart of sin and pray often...as in several times a day.

2) We have a little control center (hereinafter CC) up there some where and it is potent...very controlling....NEVER tell it that you will NEVER have another cigarette....it goes bonkers when you say that and you will loose control.

Instead...say to your self....no I won't have one now but, this evening or tomorrow morning I will have a nice cigarette after dinner with a glass of wine..or after breakfast with coffee. Do not drink wine during your quitting period...that is a BIG ....no no.
Cut out all hot spices...chili..spaghetti...etc..those are no...nos).
Change all your here to for routines after meals...go for a walk...read a good book...(the Bible is indicated). Keep gum handy for a diversion.

When time arrives that little CC will remind you...FOR SURE. That's the time to then postpone it until another satisfying time. As time goes by make it a few days rather than a few hours when you will have a cigarette. Repeat, repeat, repeat...as indicated.

( Presently I am going to have a nice cigarette on the 5th anniversary of my abuse cessation program...LOL).

Some would say that this is playing games with yourself...so what...if it works do it...you are hurting no one...or yourself.

Stay quit and be blessed.

(Let me know if this helps you...I teach addictive cessation seminars and feedback is important)
