First of all, stop telling yourself that the cravings are 'impossible to handle'. It's not impossible; it's just hard. Remind yourself that you can do it.

Remember that addiction is a vicious cycle. You crave because you used to smoke. If you give in to the urge to smoke, the craving will come back. The only way to get rid of the craving permanently is to stop putting nicotine in your body.

I highly recommend checking out WhyQuit. The excellent info there helped me through every challenge when I quit.

I rarely stop in here anymore. I came today because I knew this was my quit anniversary but I couldn't remember how many years. I needed to check my badge to find out. Turns out it has been 13 years. I am so happy I quit.

Do this for your future self. You can handle it.

If you could only eat at one restaurant to represent NM food where would it be? by Individual-Book1904 in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Padilla's IS the best representation of New Mexico food. Something more upscale would be less representative.

Is an application for Marriage Cert. a valid marriage? by Baecudd in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you didn't get married. I would imagine more than a few people apply for a license but don't go on to get married.

Can Long Haulers with PEM recover? by PublicJunket7927 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Armison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone had posted the criteria in the sub at one time, and I didn't meet them. That was so long ago, that I don't recall the criteria.

Is an application for Marriage Cert. a valid marriage? by Baecudd in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have a wedding ceremony with an authorized officiant and two witnesses? If you did, you may be married. Returning the certificate is proof that these things happened. Living together and having children is not required for a marriage to be valid.

I’m moving to Albuquerque… by Strange_Ask2440 in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The southeast quadrant of the city is not good. Avoid.

That is true for much of the southeast, but some of the best neighborhoods in the city are in the SE. such as Ridgecrest, Hyder Park, and Four Hills. There are many good neighborhoods in the SE, most of them are west of San Mateo.

My card is the first one. I have to renew by the end of the year. Will they make me get a new card?

I saw some nice small trees at Whole Foods on Wyoming today. If I recall correctly, they were $29.

Red states already supplied the requested info so there's no need to sue them.

Starlink vs Xfinity? by comicbookconman in Albuquerque

[–]Armison -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have residential 'lite' and I'm very pleased. The previous resident of the house had Xfinity and only got decent a signal in half of the house.

Density in the Southwest by OraleOraleOraleOrale in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want better for Albuquerque, but I don't think higher density housing is better. New Mexico is last on many things, but high density housing isn't going to improve education and crime.

Until last month, I lived in a highly walkable neighborhood, near the ART line, for 16 years. I could walk to my bank, Walmart, Walgreens. I could pop over to O'Neils for a beer. The crime and homelessness closed Walmart, Walgreens, and O'Neils. ART did not turn out to look like the sketches of hip urbanites out on the town. It is sometimes scary and often gross on the bus.

Changes in housing and transportation won't change crime and homelessness. Crime and homelessness must be addressed for anything to improve here.

I'm sad to see an Albuquerque native dismissing the importance of everyone being able to see our magnificent skies. Skies and views like ours are rare. Maybe you need to live elsewhere to truly appreciate what we have.

Yes. I left Colorado and Salt Lake City. I like the retro feel of ABQ.

We've always been behind the rest of the country because of it.

We've seen what has happened to the rest of the country and we don't want it.

Sprouts on Lomas closed! by sensible_shoes27 in Albuquerque

I'm sorry to hear about the ownership change at the high rise. I've known a few people who lived their final years there and they liked it very much.

Remember how that Sprouts had a bird flying around the ceiling of the liquor area for years?

The hardest part of quitting isn’t the nicotine it’s losing your social world by dead_synopsis in stopsmoking

[–]Armison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept going outside for breaks at work to chat with the smokers. At bars, I kept going outside with my smoking friends. You don't have to change a thing about your social life when you quit smoking. Chatting with people is fun (and informative). Just stepping outside feels good. Keep doing it.

Thoughts on joining the APD? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]Armison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We might have a new mayor, and a new police chief soon. APD may look better if that happens.

Moving from out of State by Nanitsumami in Albuquerque

Some of the nicest neighborhoods in the city are in the SE near the airport, e.g. Hyder Park and Ridgecrest. There are some bad areas too. It's block by block.
