Thank-you elvan‌. I appreciate your empathy and support.

A couple of things to read which may help:  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/people/PirateQueen/blog/2017/05/16/focus-and-diffuse-shifting-per...  ; My Chill Pill ;   https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/community/expert-advice/blog/2017/02/15/stress-and-resilience?com...  Stress can be managed.  We just have to learn the best techniques that work for us. Which requires homework and practice.  Quitting is a skill which can be learned and so is stress relief.  (Cutting back on caffeine during stressful times can also help, as caffeine can create symptoms similar to stress.)  Keep working it!

Thank-you Giulia‌, especially for encouraging me to write and reach out. I bookmarked all your links. I think that because I have few cravings, for weeks or months (I tend to be "lucky" that I mostly feel the benefits of not smoking very early on).....but I struggle with growing depression after a couple of months. And like I wrote, I am slammed with cravings when there are huge stressors. I have a lot of practicing and growing  to do. I want this to be THE QUIT THAT STICKS!

Thinking about you stressing out over quitting is stressing me out!   But I'm not going to smoke over it.  I'm going to go look at a picture of a bunny with a pancake on its head instead.  I have come to the conclusion that THAT is the meaning of life.  Smoking has nothing to do with it.

I prefer to think of it with a waffle!

Everything is clear to me now.

yeah but didn't bring enough for the whole class unless there's a trailer somewhere.

What do you mean, there's not enough for the rest of the class?

Hahahahaha...small class but very, very funny.

Guinea One please
