    Glad you’re still around. I must admit, I was getting worried about you as well

    I’ve never been in your position, so I don’t want to offer useless advice. But I’m glad you’re working on it as best you can. It’s a hard habit to kick

    Also, if I might insert my 2c: you made it 10 days. You’ve just proved to yourself you can do it. Sometimes it just takes a few goes. When my mum was trying to quit, the first time she made it 16 hours. The 2nd time she made it 2 days. Then 4. She “failed” every time, but AFAIK she’s managed to break out now, and no longer smokes

      Thank you Baku. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I thought losing weight would be hard, but that only took cutting out soft drinks and OMAD. This shit is insidious.

      I’m really happy to hear your mum quit! That’s fantastic! Besides, we only fail to quit when we stop trying to quit. She never failed, she succeeded!! Your advice is not useless and neither are you 💜💜💜💜

        Yeah. It sounds like I’m doing basically the same thing as you did with your weight loss. But I never really liked sugary drinks (with the exception of ginger beer), so I’m keeping up the occasional sugar free soft drink

        You are bang on there, so it definitely sounds like you’ve got the right mindset. I’m not even going to cross my fingers you make it, because I know you will without it! ♥️
