I keep failing at around 12 hours. I have been quitting between 5-7pm, been fine all night, and I wake up absolutely fiending that shit. I always stop at the gas station for an energy drink before work and have ended up folding right then and there and getting zyns as well.

I don’t know how I got through it before, but this time around it’s so hard for me I don’t know why. I have been taking NAC twice a day as well to prepare me for the quit but it just doesn’t seem to be helping like it was before.

I quit nicotine on 3/20, lasted about 6 weeks. Was doing great and stupidly went back to it. I used for like 2 days, then did about 7 days off, and then back to it every day for around 6-7 weeks. Last pouch was 3 hours ago. I’m using NAC, caffeine pouches, gum, everything I can. I should’ve never came back to this stupid shit. Pray for me.

I made it past the first 3 gyms after 2 failed run attempts. Luckily I’ve done pretty well this run. It started off bad with 4 rattata encounters in a row on new routes, and losing my Geodude from Mt. Moon, but now we have lots of coverage.

My main team is a Pidgeotto, Gyarados, Sandslash, Ivysaur, Raticate, and now Voltorb.

I really needed a fire type, and my only option so far has been Vulpix. On route 8, I had ivysaur boxed because it was getting towards the Celadon gym level cap, and was unable to use sleep powder. It roared and I lost the encounter. On route 7, I got unlucky and caught a bellsprout as first encounter.

I just received the gift eevee. I’m having trouble whether I should evolve it into Flareon, or Jolteon. Electrode is really fast and will be a good electric type for the team, and I think I can also get Pikachu from another encounter in another route. But I won’t be able to have an option for a fire type (magmar) until after the 7-8 gym on cinnabar island. This is my first time playing through this game too so I’m unfamiliar with a lot of it. What’s the play here?

So ive been talking to this girl recently, and i think we match really well. We haven’t been on a date yet but it’s coming up soon. She’s passionate, attractive, she has a good familial relationship, she works hard and she wants to get married and have kids one day, all of which I want.

The only thing is, I am white, and she is latina. I’ve never dated outside of my culture before, at least for a serious relationship which is where I see this could be going as it’s something we both want. I know there will be cultural differences, but im almost scared that her parents won’t like me. Or maybe she will realize she doesn’t want to date outside of her culture after dating me for a while. This is a first for her also.

Another thing is even though I like a good familial relationship, we are both above the age of 21, and she said her parents will not let her sleep over at a partners house. Even if we went on vacation, and had a hotel room, sleeping in the same bed is something they are not okay with. This isn’t a dealbreaker for me but it kind of hurts because I would love to spend a night with my partner. She still lives with them and im 100% okay with respecting their house rules, but those rules apply even outside of her house.

Basically, she’d have to be living on her own to make those decisions for herself.

And I get it honestly, because my parents are the same. But once they get to know her and like her, they would be fine with having her stay over once and a while. Im trying to let this go and not bother me but a lot of my previous relationships had really bonding moments when I was sleeping next to someone I loved.

So men that have been in a situation similar, what advice do you have for me? Is it worth continuing and feeling it out?

Was shiny hunting ralts last night trying to look for a gallade so I could have a reliable false swipe shiny.

I caught 3 shiny ralts, all were female, and my chain broke on the last shiny 4 patches away 😭

I know that people say grand underground is great bc pokemon match levels. But I don’t agree, because most of the time im running into pokemon who are not the max evolution, and they give me almost nothing despite being the same level as my pokemon.

Even 800 xp per pokemon is not enough. Takes about 20 to level up once at level 60.

Are there any pokemon besides Chansey and blissey that give like 2k xp per mon?

I unfortunately missed my opportunity to ride RNRC when it was aerosmith, but now that it’s reopening I really want to ride it. I’ve bitched out on this ride a few times when I was a kid and I don’t want to do that anymore. Never been upside down before but I’ve done every single Disney World coaster except this one, and I love all of them. I get a bit nervous but it’s more of excited nerves, for tron and expedition Everest. Is there anything to ease my nerves about going upside down or do I just have to get in line and send it and not think about it.

Was on the people mover at around 11:30. Saw tron was down for a while and then it was at a 50 min wait, then a 35 min wait and said screw it let’s head there. We got in the stand by queue near the sign for the attraction at 11:47 and got on the ride within 25 mins. Basically walked all the way to the room where the lady is talking about the ride on repeat.

How do rides have downtime like that to where the queue is just dead empty, and how can we make it happen to cosmic rewind? (lol)

I’m a strong believer against lightning lanes because they used to be free as fast passes and I’m jaded. But I’m considering buying one for guardians and guardians only next time so I don’t have to wait 70+ minutes.

I have an old magic band from like 10-15 years ago, the first ones that came out. I just went on tron and there is no photo wall after the ride like there is with other rides, such as Tiana’s.

Can the ride automatically track me and upload my photos, or am i SOL because i have an old magic band? I did not have my phone on me at the time as it was in the locker.

I went to Disney about 3 weeks ago with some friends and none of my photos showed up on the Disney world app.

My 6 week mark is tomorrow. I’m launching an app tomorrow as well that I’ve worked really hard on for the last 7 months. I am going to the bar with my friends just to have some fun, and also because we haven’t gone out in months. I have been thinking all week about smoking a celebratory cigarette with my friend who smokes. I don’t think id buy a pack or even a pack of zyns the next day, but I just don’t want to reset my progress. If I reset my timer and I see that low number of 1, 2, 3 days, I’ll just get pissed off at myself. But if I don’t reset the timer then im cheating.

Which all in all proves why I shouldn’t smoke tomorrow. But i just keep getting these cravings. I don’t know why. They aren’t as bad as when I first quit but they are still there. All of a sudden this week they just came on. Maybe im using the app launch as a cop out to cheat, or maybe bc I haven’t gone out in so long im just saying eh fuck it. If im going to cave on bumming a cig I think it should be long after 6 weeks.

At least I have no urge for a pouch though.
