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

Yep. It makes it easier to stop if you get tempted too. Whenever I cheat (usually from social smoking) I get tormented by the smell of cigarettes in my beard and the awful gritty feeling in my teeth and that puts me off of resuming the habit.

Same, I'll bum a smoke off someone occasionally if I'm drinking and while I do enjoy it in the moment I hate the way the smell clings to my facial hair. It definitely helps keep me away from smoking more often (as well as cost, health impacts, etc)
