Figuring something out, and solving problems successfully keeps me going.

Watching SPS frags start to plate, change colour, and then start to grow keeps me going.

Looking at photos I've taken along the way and seeing how much things have advanced and matured keeps me going.

Turning a couple of empty glass boxes in to a fully functioning ecological system keeps me going

Watching how the dead, largely sterile, blindingly white marco rocks That formed the base of my system have been slowly brought to life over months of being in the same water with a relatively small amount of high quality live rock keeps me going.

No I consider Tim Horton's & Starbucks to be subvert drug dealers.

It is sort of like trying change your mind after jumping from the plane... Quitting is not an option!

I quit with Champix, It was the easiest time I ever quit, had no desire to smoke but you have to break the physical act of smoking, keep your hands busy, they aren't kidding about the dreams, they are vivid and seem real, hopefully you dream of Belize. The money drawer fills up fast.
I quit 3 years ago January and don't miss it one bit, wife still smokes which makes me sick, what a disgusting habit, I'll keep working on her.

Good Luck

Good Luck, 5 years for me now. Champix does the job if your serious . And as stated above the dreams are unreal. I only used the prescription for 3 weeks as things started getting weird. Haven't had one thought of having a smoke ever again in my life.

Standing on the ledge debating shutting down. Sat in front of my tank for an hour writing a sale thread and cried the entire time. There's nothing wrong with my tank other than lack of maintenance. Cyano bloom went away when I stopped feeding pellets, corals are growing (my rbta is at least a foot wide at its base, then another 6-8 in with it's tentacles flowing).

So overwhelmed with so many things and pulled in every direction. This should be a source of stress relief, instead its just one more thing to find time to deal with. I'm whining, I know, and I know there's been good responses in this thread already. I know an option is sell off live stock and restart down the road. I just need to vent.
