My special place

I reached out again. When they say 30 minutes they really mean it.

And you did it @Snowie .

Well done.

i realise they have to have a time limit for the sake of others, so you just get shut off

im sorry, i think it is better if i just go

thanks everyone again for the support

take care, look after yourself

Hugs @outlander @Snowie

Glad to hear things have been good for you @tyme I am more than third way through the 72 hours with my smoking. Am happy with that but expecting the morning to be really tough again. The mornings are the worst time as I used to smoke heaps in the mornings.

Glad you reached out @Snowie it is best to do so hang tough you can get through it

Do you have a plan in place for the morning? @GezzaP The hardest will be to sit there thinking about how much you can't smoke, and you don't have something to replace the behaviour.

When I used to work with children with severe behaviour, I had to train teachers that you can't take away a behaviour without replacing it with something else that provides the same 'reward'.

Can you think of anything?

Hey @Snowie.

I hope today is a better day for you. I want you to know that you are worthy.

Well done for reaching out even though you got cut off. It’s difficult to do. You are just as important as the next person.

I hope you can find even a little bit of peace in the day.

I understand how hard it is to get out especially in a small town where you know most people and don’t want to see anyone. Could you possibly go for a drive and just sit somewhere in a scenic place just out of town and just take it in? Or do you have any nature walks near you? Or even if you stay in the car. Maybe take your furbaby with you.

Well done @GezzaP. I know how hard it is to quit smoking. I can’t do it. You are doing so well. I hope you find something distracting this morning.
