Found this post where I mention being on Day 4 of quitting smoking/vaping/all forms of nicotine (to which I was horribly addicted): https://www.skool.com/heartfinders/day-10-3 Today is day 365! One whole year. Crazy to think about. Thanks for all of your support along the way. Posting on here helped me stay accountable when I was really craving.

Friend of mine got sober a few years back, took a risk, and started his own business. He sells branded “Good Baklava” (Turkish baklava specifically - I’m sorry @Menelaos Fthenakis) at festivals, parks, sporting events, and online! He’s currently struggling to keep his business afloat, so if anyone is interested in having some delicious baklava shipped to your door, now’s a great time to order! Just in time for the holidays! Here’s the link: https://goodbaklava.net

Happy Tuesday...Thanks for the Happy Birthday posts a few days ago. I was totally dreading that day...sad etc.... so the posts made me happy! So rather than sit with sadness/anxiety/panic I did plan ahead..so for Saturday.. I had signed up for a 9 mile hike. Walked across Williamsburg bride.....walked across the Roosevelt island Bridge...took the tram back...walked along east river..to wards island and across the Triborough Bridge...the railings are low..the wind took my hat...walk ended in Astoria....I was happy it was long..if anyone does walk across Triborough..be careful of your hat! Everyone have a really nice day. ☘

Hi all, I fell off the horse, but will strap myself to the saddle going forwards! Wishing everyone a great mid-week. Grateful for this group of supportive folks Much Love, Menelaos

In addition to the promise I made to myself of going on 3 long walks a week over 10k steps, I’m going to make another promise of listening to my body more acutely and honestly when it comes to food. This means only eating when I’m hungry, stopping when I’m 70% full, staying away from sugar as much as possible, and paying more attention to emotional eating. I’m on day 2 of this and feeling good.
