Happy Valentine's Day Beautiful 💞 Congratulations on quitting smoking. You can do it Girlllll. Glad you are feeling better, I was worried about you. I vote put contents in the envelope. So fun the possibilities to decorate it myself.😁 Either way you decide, I will be grateful. I still can't believe you are sending me one of these kits to play with. I am super excited 🥰 Hugs Doreen

@@JosJerseyJournals I haven't been on a bike since I have been a kid. I have a torn meniscus in my knee so no bike riding for me. I have been babying it along til summer. I will have to have surgery eventually. Anyway I'm to klutzy to ride a bike😂😂😂 Bills said hi. He's trying to figure out why neighbor's dogs are barking, lol.

[@helenthompson5532]

I’m sooooo glad to hear that you have quit smoking. Yes I smoked for many years and now I’m paying the price. I have only 28% lung function due to COPD caused by smoking. It’s just not worth it. I understand all the things you describe about the weekend I think everyone quitting goes thru those struggles but it is definitely worth it and you will feel better every day. Congratulations 🥰👍

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Oh Helen 😔 I'm so sorry. Thank you for your support 🙏 😘🤗✨️

[@tracyheberlie4831]

Are those thinning shears?? Jo, you are brilliant!!! Congrats on quitting smoking ❤️ and I hope you feel better.

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Yes they are. I can't take the credit for thinking of it lol and yet of course I've forgotten where I saw it done 🥴🥴🥴

Hi lady have a great day loved Friday night. Happy V day my guy came home with a bag full of embellishments! I got so excited he told me slow down just breath LOL.

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Hahaha Happy Valentines Day to you to Diana 🤗😘❤ What!!!!! how can he bring you a BAG if embellishments and then tell you to slow down and breath 🤣🤣🤣 that was such a wonderful gift. Pls have him speak to my Eric lol 😆 😂

[@Cleo.777.]

Wishing you all the very best Joe, in your quitting journey! It’s definitely a journey lol. I quit a couple of years ago and my hubby is still trying to quit. He’s been vaping and that’s helped him. He tried the patches, but they made him really sick. Anyway hope it’s smoother sailing for you, from here 🙏💖

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Thank you so much Helen. Yes I found that out. If you smoke while your wearing the patch it makes you very sick.

When I quit smoking I took six months and slowly quit. I replaced the smoking triggers with new habits...walking, making miniatures, reading, etc. So when I craved a smoke I did a healthy habit. I rewarded myself with three cigarettes per day and reduced it every other month by one and on June first 2010 I stopped smoking.

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Your amazing 🤗😘 yeah that would have worked for me lol 😆

[@dianacampanelli3250]

Hi Jo, sorry that you were having a rough time this last weekend. Since I never smoked, I don’t know the withdrawals of it! You would think I would have been since my parents, ex-husband all smoked & I worked around secondhand smoke. Well I hope it will be better for you! Have a wonderful week!🤗🌻💕

[@JosJerseyJournals]

It's ok thank you Diana. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. It was a hard weekend but I came out so much stronger knowing that I can beat the craving 💪 🙏 🤗😘

[@dianacampanelli3250]

@@JosJerseyJournals Yes you are! 🤗❤️

[@rjtnews]

Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Could you tell me about these kits you are making and are they for sale and whatever else. I just love your journals and would so love to make one for my grand daughter before to much longer. I just had my 75th birthday, I have to hustle, HA! HA! Oh yes, I just have a few supplies but would still like to give it a try, I could put this on my short bucket list! I thank you so much!!!

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Hiya Jaz it's wonderful meet you. The kits are all sold my dear. Her is a video showing what they come with. Also your still young and you have plenty of time to make her a journal and then some. 🤗😘🙏✨️ This is a live I did and showed everyone what the kits will have. I made 7 and sadly they are gone already 😢. Email me at [e-mail] if you like it I'll make sure you get on my list for next time. Link to the kits: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWjRhZeQj75gd5o

Hey Danielle thank you honey lol So not F Stamps lol Fo Stamps got it 🤣😘🤗 Oh my goodness wonky was just the half of it. But thankfully it all passed faster then expected 😘🤗

[@VintageLilacMemories]

Dasani is just purified water, not spring water. It has always tasted like dirt to me. I quit smoking almost 20 yrs ago in Oct 2002 when my Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. It will take a while for the junk to get out of your system and smoking is an addiction so give yourself some time to adjust. You are doing the right thing, keep at it, day by day. My sister (aged 64), who cared for my dying mother with lung cancer, was diagnosed last year with it herself and lost her left lung in March 2021. Be proud of yourself and be gentle. You've got this!

[@JosJerseyJournals]

Lmao 😂 I like the Dasani well at least I still do atm. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank God you were able to stop. And your sister 😔 oh my goodness. Is she limited to what she can do? 😔 So far the weekend was the worst. But thank you yes I can tell my body is getting rid of the trash 🗑 🤗 I'm really feeling good. Better then yesterday and the day before 🤗😘

[@VintageLilacMemories]

@@JosJerseyJournals My sis is doing surprisingly well. Of course not running any races ;) But getting around. Weirdly, even after almost 20 yrs, I still get the odd craving for a smoke and in my dreams, I always have a pack in my purse so can have one whenever I want - strange huh?

[@JosJerseyJournals]

@@VintageLilacMemories Well God Bless her. 🙌 really is she on an oxygen machine? And after 20 years your dreaming about smoking lol 😆 oh my lol strange but funny. Better a dream though right. Lol

[@VintageLilacMemories]

@@JosJerseyJournals she only uses oxygen at night while sleeping or when she overdoes it. It is so weird though, after those dreams where I reach into my purse and grab a smoke, I always wake feeling guilty LOL
