Back in the ring for another swing...

Smoked my last cigarette a couple of hours ago.

"....and so it begins..."

(And hey, since misery loves company, anyone else want to join me in dropping these things?)

Well, I don't smoke...but the extra large extra cream and sugar coffee's from Dunkin Donuts have not helped me ...so in your honor... I will give up that, and make my own, at home with skim milk and equal

Good luck Frank... one day at a time!!!!

 

[Fish_Whisperer]

Okay... So long as you don't neglect your ice cream habit. LOL! (Wait: I think that's MY ice cream habit!)

Thanks, Sandy! Very best wishes, good cheer, and great strength to you.

best to both of you in your endeavors! frank, have you been planning this quit long?

 

[Fish_Whisperer]

Yes, BabyDuck. I should say that I made three earnest attempts at quitting in 2005. I've been sick of smoking for a while. I've also read Allen Carr's book, "The Only Way To Quit Smoking Permanently." Finally, it feels like all of the tumblers have aligned. I am so anxious to be free of this addiction. I can't offer any substantial reasons as to why I think that THIS time will be THE ONE, but each attempt has been part of the preparation. All I can say is, I'm ready!

I quit six years ago on my youngest sons tenth birthday. He left a wallet sized picture of himself swinging his little league bat behind the plastic of my smokes. After having tried to quit many times previous, this time I WANTED to quit.........which is what it took. Sounds like you are on the right path! Good luck and take it one day at a time.
You'll feel like I did after I got my ow certification..................yahoo..I DID IT!

Already did - and, I FEEL YOUR PAIN :lightingz Misery does love company though doesn't it?
Start putting all the money you would spend on cigarettes in a jar or seperate bank account. Then buy yourself a fabulous dive trip to somewhere exotic. You'd be amazed what your cigatette money will buy.
I'm on my way to Roatan in May on mine. Hell, talk to Dee and see if there are any more open spots and come with us.
If I find out you've started up again this is what you'll get and I'm going to be checking up on ya

GOOD ON YA F/W
