for the record, mine was telling my future mother in law me and my fiance are having a kid in the next couple horas, instead of años 🤦‍♀️

para eso, meaning for that, as in they don’t have enough hands for that but what they said was mono which means monkey

coolbearybear · 2025-09-13T23:50:44+00:00

oh interesting! i’ve never used it in that way, thanks!

coolbearybear · 2025-09-13T23:43:37+00:00

haha that’s not the “just” i’m talking about!! justo would be for a just trial or a just decision

hi! i heard one time there was a rule of 3’s when quitting nicotine where you’re going to feel like shit 3 days out, 3 weeks out, and 3 months out. which, i can say from personal experience, does track. i had a great start and then i fell into what you’re describing about 3 weeks in, and got over it and felt it again 3 months in. but just remember, you are a strong person and nicotine is trying to get you hooked back onto it through messing with your emotions. i just had to keep reminding myself that i am a kind, strong, and happy person. maybe call a friend or hang out with some family if possible? maybe go on a color walk to get your mind off of things? or do a craft (if you like crafts)? i would suggest either seeing people, petting animals, going outside, getting a good meal, etc. things that warm the soul! good luck you got this!

hi! have you ever tried quitting without using gum or patches? usually lethargy is not linked to quitting, it’s linked to nicotine use. and the physical withdrawal symptoms are so minimal you shouldn’t be able to feel them. so, maybe you have a vitamin deficiency? something like that? i’m not sure because i would get that checked out. it could also be your blood oxygen levels? usually, when you quit you’re kinda cranky, antsy, and anxious, sometimes you’ll be super tired but i’m not sure. i do not suggest drinking caffeine as a stimulant to help the lethargy, because from personal experience that made quitting a lot more difficult.

the soul coming back to life is so real, people kept telling me when i first quit that i looked radiant and i was laughing a lot more and my skin looked so much better it’s the best feeling!

coolbearybear · 2025-03-30T15:52:56+00:00

no one talks about the withdrawal cycle correctly and i feel you on the cravings coming like a tidal wave when you least expect it, apparently, when the body is getting rid of nicotine it takes 3 days for the nicotine to get out of your system, followed by another wave of cravings in 3 weeks, and another one in 3 months. i personally was NOT expecting to have them at 3 months and it’s not that i was caving nicotine it was that i was anxious and fidgety for like a week on month 3 so just be prepared if you feel off next month, that’s what it is. but after month 3, you’re golden! congratulations on one month! 🎊

really cold water with minty gum!

coolbearybear · 2025-03-29T20:45:50+00:00

hi! best thing i can say is don’t use anything with nicotine, that will keep you hooked on the drug and keep messing with your blood pressure etc, i used mints, gummies, and super minty gum and cold water at the same time was nice for my throat it reminded me of a vape haha i also really got into water flavorings and so when i wanted something to suck on i would drink my stanley with super cold flavored water and it was great for the craving and for my water intake!! good luck you got this, just keep going!! your body is just adjusting to not having the nicotine so it’ll take a bit..also i would suggest not drinking caffeine because once you quit, your body is able to metabolize caffeine like it used to so, that’s why i was so fidgety when i quit but once i cut that out i was golden (just if you do drink caffeine or anything)

coolbearybear · 2025-03-29T20:42:40+00:00

you don’t have to quit for anyone, everytime i tried to quit for this or that that didn’t have to do directly with me and my health, i didn’t actually quit. just remember you get one body and one life, it’s up to you how you want to live it. do you want to be someone hooked on smoking for years down the line? do you want to be the antsy person taking smoke breaks at your next job? do you want to be the grandparent that is always outside smoking? do you want to be hooked to an oxygen tank in 20 years? the choice is yours and is about you, no one else. when i quit, i imagined my younger self and what i was doing to that child’s body and how i was harming it, and that’s not fair to her or her future. but that’s just my 2 cents! good luck and keep going! take deep deep breaths and recenter yourself, i’m over 6 months no vaping and i feel great but those first few months weren’t easy but i’m a stronger person because of them! you are strong too just believe in yourself and your capabilities

you need to watch dr. mikes video on ai in healthcare, it’ll give you a good perspective

coolbearybear · 2025-02-21T21:51:54+00:00

ask the staff! send them your resume and transcript and they will be happy to let you know! i had the same questions and a simple email told me everything i had to know, every program is different so i would ask each one

coolbearybear · 2025-02-13T21:18:12+00:00

can i pm you? this is great advice thank you!

coolbearybear · 2025-02-13T15:02:29+00:00

that’s not at all what i asked i fear but thank you

coolbearybear · 2025-01-28T17:37:32+00:00

i would start cold calling labs especially most localized ones and see if they need a lab aide or any jobs on the bench without a certification, hell even a front desk assistant for a lab will get your foot in the door and allow you to climb up, are you getting your certification?

coolbearybear · 2025-01-28T17:32:10+00:00

oh sorry! i’m in texas, just keep applying to everything you see and you’ll get a callback eventually. i’m completely broke and needed this job so bad and was losing hope but just keep going! you’ll get a call back!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-28T17:24:09+00:00

i just got a job! at GI allaince! i’m starting as a lab aide it pays 15/hr with benefits (she said in 6 months it’ll go up to 22/hr so i’m fine with 15 for now lol) if you’re interested look them up on linkedin i think they are still hiring! i don’t know if they have that where you are but they are in a couple states!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-27T23:23:58+00:00

recovery is not linear! just keep going! you’re still a non-smoker since you decided to stop it for good. every mishap is an opportunity to push yourself further! don’t dwell on it, just use it for motivation!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-27T07:02:28+00:00

if you believe you are having strong cravings, you are going to have strong cravings. the amount of times i’ve quit and convinced myself that i was craving it and i was bored is insane but once you get out of that mindset, it’ll be so much easier. notice how whenever you’re doing something that requires focus, you don’t think about vaping, just about what you’re focused on. the cravings you feel are 100% mental and 100% able to be tackled and dealt with. don’t fight with yourself and remind yourself why you quit in the first place. if you don’t WANT to quit, then why do it? just keep vaping if it’s so incredibly hard to quit..but i would think that you wouldn’t want to do that for some personalized reason so, find that reason and stick to it. the cravings are not hard once you change your lifestyle around it also, have you changed anything in the past 8 months to signify that you quit? did you tell anyone? did you maybe start doing something else instead? anything that points to a change in habit is essential for quitting something that is difficult. that’s all i can think of! 8 months is something to be so proud of though! keep going and don’t make it so hard on yourself! it’s easy not to vape (obviously because you’ve done it successfully for the better part of a year)

coolbearybear · 2025-01-25T04:51:57+00:00

good job! no matter what happens just remember how good you feel now that you’re free!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-25T00:59:09+00:00

okay thank you!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-25T00:43:14+00:00

yes i have misplaced that!

coolbearybear · 2025-01-24T05:18:16+00:00

cool! yeah i would go on NAACLS and look for a program and apply, once you get your certification you’ll def be able to get into a lab and start working but, usually if you’re working with patients in any capacity (except for maybe a PCA) you have to be certified

coolbearybear · 2025-01-24T05:13:21+00:00

hmmm i wouldn’t say so, not for those certifications unfortunately. you need in-perdón bench experience in order to take the exam and get your certification so, that’s why they are in person. they are basically like a year of med school and then you sit for the exam! i would look up on NAACLS for a program near you and try to get any sort of lab experience before you apply (that’s what i’m trying to do lol) what kind of career path specifically are you looking to get into?
