A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Years and years of struggling with quitting because my brain never really hit the zone where smoking itself seemed unappealing and now somehow out of nowhere the stench is absolutely disgusting. Like my boyfriend comes home smelling of cigarettes and its so intensely gross i have to breath through my mouth. The offer of a cigarette doesnt work as well anymore i think i finally hit it folks i might actually be there. My lungs ravioli rejoice

Honestly? It helps me stay quit. I bought a pack of camels a year ago, not premium but not bottom of the barrel. The fact that they tasted worse than I remember helped reinforce my conviction to stay away.
