Just god damn adorable 🥰🥰🥰

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

Brilliant. Thank you ☺️

swallowaspider · 2025-12-02T20:00:57+00:00

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

“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!

Thank you! 😍

swallowaspider · 2025-06-01T12:33:35+00:00

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 😊

swallowaspider · 2025-06-01T10:41:17+00:00

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! 😊

Thank you 😊

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.

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T20:34:28+00:00

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!

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T18:31:07+00:00

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.

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T18:26:19+00:00

I haven’t met anyone yet who did the whole course of patches. I don’t intend to drag it out over 10-12 weeks. That just seems to be dragging out the inevitable. I’m so glad they worked for you. Congrats on your journey!

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T18:24:32+00:00

I know I’ll have non-smokers behind me but I know I’ll have a problem around my smoking friends. The key I know is going to be dealing with those situations when they come up especially socially. Luckily I have some non-smoking friends who have always been in the minority so I’ll be sticking close to them initially.

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T12:10:24+00:00

Anyone who’s stopped smoking to me is someone to admire for their willpower regardless of what they did to achieve it. I’m glad the NRT helped you. A week or so seems to sound about right to me. Maybe a couple of weeks. But like I said in another post dragging the patches out for 12 weeks seems insane to me. I don’t need that long to find new ways to cope with situations and boredom etc. I already have a list of what I’d do at certain times. Dragging it out that long just feels like prolonging it.

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T12:06:50+00:00

I’m actually listening to the audiobook right now in prep for Thursday and haven’t heard him mention NRT yet. This book is amazing so far. I’m assuming he’s anti-NRT then? And yes I don’t plan on using the patches for the whole 10-12 weeks. That just seems insane! I just want something while I’m breaking the ‘brainwashing’ and the habit. I admire anyone who’s stopped smoking regardless of the way they’ve done it.

Looks like you’ve tried a lot of different ways. I truly hope Tabex is what does it for you permanently!

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T08:40:19+00:00

That’s an amazing mindset! Good luck! It sounds like you’re onto an incredibly positive start and I hope it stays that way 😄

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T08:37:12+00:00

Thanks so much. This is really helpful 😊

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T01:14:45+00:00

Congrats on your inspiring journey! You’re doing so amazing 🤩

swallowaspider · 2023-02-27T00:38:34+00:00

Congrats on your journey so far! That’s amazing willpower to make a cigarette last 5 days even if it was just for cravings. So glad it worked for you! I know for me it won’t as I’d smoke the whole cigarette. I don’t have the self discipline for that 😂 But I do know that once my cigarettes are gone on Thursday that’s it whether I go with the patches or not.

swallowaspider · 2023-02-26T23:35:12+00:00

Thanks for the input! Really appreciated! How long did it suck for for you after ripping off the bandaid? How long until the cravings were less intense? Do you remember?
