Look in to the e-cigarette. If you want to quit that is. I think it will be the reason I will stay a quitter.

Both...? Balls.

Best to you two to maintain. Throw daily cig money into a jar. Wait a year and apply vacation ointment.

I wish you both luck but for every day you dont smoke please say a prayer for me as you send me to the unemployment office, i might even have to sell my porsche 8-)

I'm so glad to hear it! Two of my favorite people are going to be around longer! (Unless you get hit by a bus or something stupid like that! ;D)

Give Thomas a big hug for me! Miss having him around here more.

Thanks everybody 8-)

Day 2 1/2 still going strong, But Thomas will be going to work tonight and I will be alone in the house that will be the test.

I get nerves when he is not here and when I get nerves I smoke.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me. Thomas has insensitive his work will pay $400 for him to quite :P

You can do this, Gena. Replace smoking with something else ( not eating.) Find something you like to do... go for a walk.... turn on some music and dance... be silly. Pick up a pencil and doodle! Exercise or read.

I believe in you!

Good luck to the both of you! I've never smoked (a true saint I am ;) ), but I do know it takes a lot of strength to quit smoking. So I'm wishing you both lots and lots of strength to keep it up.

It's a good thing to remember that it's nice to not have to stand outside in a blizzard or downpour and have us righteous types shake heads at you. Too expensive too.

My reason for quitting:

- My house smells like smoke
- Walls in my house are stained
- My car smells like smoke
- My clothes smell, are stained from hanging in the closet & have
burn holes in them.
- Tired of worrying about where I am going and weather or not I can
smoke there. (ie Hotels, restaurant, bars etc...)

Some where way down the list is Health ::)

Good on you two, very proud.
Put your smoke money somewhere safe and enjoy it on something nice! ;)

Post by Kate in Oz on May 13^th, 2009 at 8:14pm

Good on you! I wish you both all the very best. It isn't easy (I'm on day 30 without) but it sure is worth it!

If it helps, think the next cigy you have will cost you upwards of $20,000 - it only takes one to get hooked again.

Also, I swear by Allen Carr's Easy Way.

GOOD LUCK!

Kate

Angie and I both have read Allen Carr's book and I am 3-1/2 years smoke free and Angie will be 13 weeks Monday.
Congrats to all you quitters, keep the fight!

good for you. I quit january 1. I used Nicorette and it helped. Bottom line is at some point you need will power. You can do it

Gena, get Allen Carrs book to read while Thomas is working. ;)

I have a special appreciation for Kent's "micronite filter" which contained asbestos. Talk about a double whammy!!

It takes 3 days to get the poison out of your system. From that day on you're getting healthier.

Stay committed!!! and good luck.

Woo-Hoo! [smiley=thumb.gif] Very proud of each and everyone who can kick the smokes to the curb. 8-)

Keep up the good work, and do not forget to reward yourself for doing this. Use you cig money and go have a great meal out somewhere nice. :)

One of these days, you'll notice that you missed an automatic cigarette. Then you know you're on the way.
