    Quarantine

    It will be good to have this to do while we are holed up, hiding from the Virus!

    It's refreshing to go someplace where I don't have to read the management's official statement about how our health is their top priority. All the Baron cares about is my puzzle addiction, and that's just fine.

      Quarantine had a bad effect on me, and I started smoking cigarettes during that time. Now, I'm struggling to quit and finding it really challenging. Does anyone have any tips or advice on how to stop?

        There are many types of “cures”, but if you convince yourself you want to be a non-smoker, you might succeed. I did. One day at a time. Good luck.

          Likeitlots​, I smoked back in the 70s and quit cold turkey. It was the second hardest thing I've ever had to do, right after losing a loved one. One of my employees was a chain smoker and went the route of taking Zyban/bupropion/Wellbutrin, and he quit within a week! Never even wanted another cigarette. Best wishes to you in your quest.

            I once interviewed a team of smoking cessation counselors who were all ex-smokers themselves. Their key to successful smoking cessation was, first, to identify all of your “ritual“ cigarettes – for example, the cigarette after dinner, the cigarette while driving or during a traffic jam, the cigarette after putting the groceries away, the urgent cigarette to calm a super-tense moment, etc. And then, to choose just one of those ritual cigarettes to eliminate at a time, with a specific plan for what you will do instead. One counselor’s simplest example of an alternative plan was for the after-dinner cigarette: “I just pushed my chair back and stood up as soon as I was done eating, because if I lingered I would start into after-dinner talking which would trigger my hand to reach for a cigarette. So instead I would just leave the table.”
