Share your quitting journey
The other day I was discussing an assignment from my counselor to develop a plan/list of things I could do to deal with stress and anxiety that did not involve smoking or drinking. https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/blogs/alysonoholic-9-8-13-blog/2013/02/10/5-days-ive-been-lurkin...
joyeuxencore asked if I might share it with you guys, so here it is! I specifically broke it out into things I could do while I was at home, things I would be able to do at work and things I wouldn't be too embarassed to do in public. I hope that some of you might be able to add some ideas to your arsenal and please feel free to share your methods with me as well.

And just to give you a little laugh on Friday (hopefully) I will share my Valentine's status update from last night:
My amazing Valentine's day was comprised of a super romantic trip to the pet store, Target and Rite-aid then carrying about 40 pounds of supplies over the threshold of my apartment before lovingly placing my laundry in the washer and unloading those sexy a** dishes.
Next up, a cuddle foursome with Bread, Gizmo & H.P. Lovecraft. (note for the EXers: Bread & Gizmo are my kitties)
Best V-day evarrrrr!!!
