1. Congratulations
I know how hard it can be.

And in 27 years you probably won't want another one. :)

9. Thanks
But, I'm gonna smoke one then, even if I don't want it...just kidding. I'll be 80 then...probably won't even remember that I used to smoke.

2. side effect of quitting
Congratulations!
A minor problem with quitting is that ice cream starts tasting better than ever — I mean really good.
13 years now.

4. Way to go Sister,
I fell off the wagon after 11 smoke free months and am still trying to get the gumption to give it another go. HAND IN THERE, we're all pullin' for you.

Woof

13. I'll be rooting for you
There isn't a day that goes by that I wouldn't love to fire one up but I know that I would not stop at just one....and I always walk through the outdoors smokers' gulags for some secondhand smoke. I just keep reminding myself that I have cut out some of the Repug's funding.

Today is something like day 48 for me. I'm doing great! Almost done with the patch, and definitely feeling like I've beat it.

Congrats to you!! :toast:

17. Keep it up
It took me almost 5 years before I truly felt like a non-smoker and began to be offended by other people smoking. But it's been 31 smokefree years so far.

20. CONGRATS!!!
You have achieved something HUGE!! Go you!! My dad died of emphazema and asthma due to smoking. I admire you so much for quitting so you'd be around for your grandchildren. My dad didn't think that far ahead and how much I'd need him in my 20s. We are all very proud of you. :hug:

21. thanks to everyone for the support
and for all of you that are trying to kick the habit..YOU CAN DO IT
I was burning close to two packs a day although a lot of them just sat in the ashtray. I knew I had to quit but I kept putting it off and kept it up for a few years after my mother died from lung cancer. One day, I just knew that I was ready and gave it a try. it hasn't been easy, but nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be. And, my husband says that I haven't even been a bitch...go figure.

Spent this week's cig money on bike tools. Next week, a magnetic hampster-wheel attachment so I can spin indoors when it's snowing...

23. Excellent job!

Having lost my father to smoking-related health problems, my hat is off to anyone who's able to give up cigarettes and stay off them. I had lost count of how many times my dad tried to quit....

I wish I had your willpower or whatever it is that sustains you. I will think of you for inspiration as I try to really cut down today. Thanks!:-)
