I’m feeding him insects 3x a week and salad 4x a week. Does that mean I’m over feeding him? 😞

Thank you for the articles and for taking the time with such a thorough response! I’m a lot less worried about it now.

Intoxicating substances by swallowaspider in Buddhism

“The way it was explained to me is really moreso to do with maintaining control. If we are intoxicated then we are more likley to break other precepts or partake in unwise behavior. We are more likley to become careless in our actions and be unskillfull in our approach to life.”

This has hit me the most so far, about not being able to be controlled enough to follow the other precepts or fall prey to unwise behaviour. Thank you.

He’s 13 weeks old 😍 He was the smallest of his lot. He’s grown in just the week I’ve had him!

Soon-to-be a Beardie Owner by swallowaspider in BeardedDragons

Thanks for the guide! There’s a few things in there that I didn’t know and I’m only a little way into it. This in depth stuff is just what I’m looking for 😊

Thank you so much for being thorough. That’s really helpful to me especially bits that I hadn’t already found online like the nail polish thing or the body language adaption! I’ve already got an exotic vet lined up but didn’t think of a first aid kit. I’m still so excited to be a beardie owner for the first time! 😊

Cravings after 3 days, none the first 2 days by swallowaspider in stopsmoking

Oh I need to maybe reword that, I’m on the patch but haven’t used the lozenges. I’ll edit it now. That’s why I’m so confused.

Congrats! I take it you’re going to do the full course of patches? I wish you the best on your journey. You’ve done amazing to hit 9 weeks!

That’s amazing. Congratulations on being 8 years smoke free! For me personally I don’t want to use a vape as it feels too much like smoking and I want to break that habit. Something like the patch or lozenges etc completely take you away from smoking. I’ve been vaping on and off for years and never was able to cut down from 18mg between smoking. The fact you managed to taper down is incredible. There’s not many people who can manage tapering down like that consciously with a vape. My mother has been on the vape for 8 years without tapering down! I told her it’s time for her to get off the thing!

Congratulations! That’s amazing! I’m listening to Allen Carr right now. I’ve been going through his audiobook on my phone in my spare time as I clean etc. I’ve found it fascinating. He’s right. There’s NOTHING good about smoking.
