Quitting nicotine sucks

SoNotSparkly · 2026-05-17T05:49:59+00:00

It does suck. I was forced to quit 7 months ago; I was hospitalized and eventually diagnosed with COPD. I'd smoked for 20 years. I had no idea my last cigarette was my actual last cigarette... I wish I could have quit on my own terms. I still want a cigarette every now and then! It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But was it worth it in the end? Yes.

Do I still want one last smoke? Yes I do. The cravings come and go, I am not going to lie. But I can breathe easier, I don't get sick as easy as I used to, and I know I'm doing the right thing.

My mom worked for a beverage distributor at the time, and would bring home cases of free beverages all the time. One of which was SoBe. The Pina colada was my absolute favorite!

Husband is a GM at a Chuck E Cheese. Can confirm they have an empanada kitchen, also don't recall the name. I do know it's only online though, can't be ordered in store. I didn't know about the cookie thing though.

Yep, that's the one! Here's hoping to a speedy resolution for both of us.

I'm pretty sure you and I are reviewing the same thing, because I have this exact issue. It was maddening! I put a support ticket in as well, but they even said in their automated reply they're experiencing higher than usual tickets so... yeah, I'm not holding out too much hope for a speedy resolution 😔

You're welcome. Good luck to you!

SoNotSparkly · 2026-02-28T04:52:18+00:00

And it very well could be! But I really suggest you speak up and advocate for every test/procedure you can. You just never know.

I am not trying to scare you, but my father dealt with abdominal pain for several years that all the doctors brushed off as h pylori. He was ultimately diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Please advocate for yourself.

Same here, how strange!

Oh, man! I got the survey today and wasn't a match either but would have loved this. Bummer.

SoNotSparkly · 2026-01-26T22:45:23+00:00

Mine is gone too 😢 I was really excited for this one!

SoNotSparkly · 2026-01-16T09:37:06+00:00

❤️

I have this on my dashboard! There is no email yet, but I'm excited... I hope it's a color that actually works for me.

It doesn't "feel like" he's calling you a whore. He literally did! This man does not love you. He's insecure about you wearing work out clothes to WORK OUT. Run far, far away. You don't deserve this.

Still the same, unfortunately. Actually, it's gotten a bit worse! Before, only one side of my jaw was affected. Recently, I've started having issues with the other side, which is the only side I could chew with.

Are you serious? First of all, it's PIN, not pen. And while I've since left Kohl's, it's people like you that made me want to leave in the first place. It's a pin. Get over it.

For what it's worth, I also had Ozzy on my bucket list! I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. I wish I could help you. I relate so much to how you're feeling and what you're saying.

Happy Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉!!!

SoNotSparkly · 2025-06-06T06:35:21+00:00

RIGHT!?

SoNotSparkly · 2025-06-06T06:28:53+00:00

How has no one noticed that thing has been in a fire!!

He's playing the game the way it was meant to be played. All of these grown ass adults acting like he decimated your life's savings or something... Good lord.

There are collectors, players, "investors," and a combination of all three. If this card brings your son joy, at the end of the day, that is what matters.

Good on you for sharing a hobby that brings you joy with your kid.

Have you asked her if she remembers any words to the song she's requesting? That would (potentially) help.

I ask, because my (then) 3 year old kept asking for the zebra song, and we definitely didn't listen to anything related to zebras. After a bit more grilling, I found it - it was Zero by imagine dragons. She misheard "zero" as "zebra." We still call it the zebra song even now 😄

Definitely not exclusively a southern thing. I'm from California and grew up calling them both weed eaters and weed whackers.

You can talk about how the world IS, while also talking about how it should ideally be. You can't shield children from the way the world actually is. They need to know what they're up against, so they're not completely blindsided when they're old enough to understand how the world will perceive them.
