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'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! Grin)

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

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 Wink ), 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.

Good luck

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  Roll Eyes

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!

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.
