GAL.. re Curves.. difference from what? If you already go to and enjoy a club, stay there. If you have equipment at home and use it, stick with that. If you don't want to go where there are hordes of 20 year old spandex clad cuties and/or men, Curves is quite useful, especially if you haven't been exercising regularly. You might visit one and see if you can stand the music.. Their hours aren't so good for many people.. not open between 1pm and 3pm (or something similar) and not after 7pm or on Sundays and Saturdays not so much either.. that depends on the area of the country. They do have it set up to weigh/measure monthly (but you don't have to do that) and have a diet (books heavy with Christian quotes) plan.

Um, if you want a column for date started on Chantix, that would be cool too.

Pamy - I'm right here as usual. Have to wait until tomorrow to make it into town and pharmacy. I just hope my insurance will pay for part of my RX. They are kind of weird sometimes. Thanks for your nudge to get my rear in gear!

I quit smoking the second time on Sept.22nd and I think I had been on the Chantix for 3 weeks when I had my last cig. The first time I quit doesn't count because I didn't quit for good. Sea, I love the idea of a chart! Bless you for being so supportive!

Oldtex, be prepared to pay 120.00. Hopefully yours will be less but that is what I paid. which is MUCH LESS than a months worth of smokes YOu should see all the stuff I bought with my savings this first month!!! I think I spent the savings for the next 3 months but what the heck I will be waiting to hear your good news, Oldtex!

ok for all you pissy quitters...I had a pissy breakdown today....I have to do my grandma's eligiblity medicare paperwork yearly and I HATE TO DO IT!! every year it comes at this time,which pisses me off. It takes me days to fill out forms, find the paperwork, write the letter, etc I started it last sunday, it is all ready late ( I called and said I would mail it this past Mon) well when I started it I wanted to smoke so freakin bad that I put it away and went shopping and havent touched it til today I was doing good but after the 3rd interuption I lost it and yelled to be left alone to finish, I screamed you guys are making me want to smoke!!!then I cried. 2 hrs later I finished it Bill took it to post office and mailed it express and I felt so much better. ps, the day did get better. I just had an hour of mind blowing sex.

Yay, Pamy's human after all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really was beginning to wonder, you know? Pamy may have to hit the diet trail (most of us do after quitting), but one thing I am sure of, she will never enter the "stop sex" thread. You go, girl!!!!!!!! Sea, quittin date for me was Nov.2, 2004, and I am still pissy. Happy Holidays, Quitters!!!

Congrats to all the quitters! Keep up the good work!!!!! Sea - I quit smoking 2/3/2003 cold turkey on my first try after 43 yr. of smoking. It was harder than quitting drinking 25 yr. ago (second try for that). So far, so good. Five year anniversary coming up. I've said it before but I'll say it again, quitting smoking literally saved my life. When I was diagnosed with Wegener's almost 3 yr. ago (link in my profile) one of the organs it attacked was the lungs. My doc told me point blank if I were still smoking I wouldn't have made it. To all the lurkers out there, please quit. It's the best thing you can do for yourself. Quitting is hard but not quitting is harder in the long run.

Pamy, it has been my experience that you sort of have to let the toe-wetters (people who might like to quit but are not sure they can live through it) alone until they work up either the courage or disgust to take the plunge. And even then, some of them get REAL scared that although they have taken the first step (got their toes wet), they still might not be able to do it and don't want to tell anybody in case they fail. I don't attach any stigma to any of that, because let's face it, this is often the most scary thing most people ever face in their life. Sometimes we don't think we will LIVE if we have to give up our only faithful friend. Or we don't think life will be worth living. It is some major scary shit, and not everybody can do it. And Yay Meme!!! I bet your son is VERY proud. And happy. His mom is going to be around a while longer. That is always wonderful news.

I think I am being pissy tonite. Bill put some gifts from he and Dylan under tree, there are 2 jewrly boxes, I told him why didnt he take time to throw those boxes in a bag so I would at least have fun of guessing whats in the bag....as of now I all ready know I got a braclet and ring. (they wont be expensive, thats not a problem), I just am pissed he couldnt be bothered wrapping them Christmas has never been same since my mom died and I guess its not fair I hold him to her standards, she ALWAYS made Christmas special for me, it was always filled with fun and surprises. I try and make Dylan's Christmas as special as mine was but the older he gets the more he really just doesnt seem to care. I guess its a boy thing, not sure.

Meme, I bet he was! Was he totally shocked you did it??? Juju, I hear ya! I was one of those ppl for the last 4 yrs LOL I think now that Chantix is out more ppl will quit, it makes it not so scary cuz you can still smoke if ya want. That was the big thing for me not having to pick a stop date...so no fear of that day...it just happened

Pamy, I do want you to keep pestering me! And Juju did make a good point. I'm really scared. Also, with DH off work until after Christmas, I don't want him to know how much I'm paying for this RX. I know he will say he doesn't care how much it costs, but then if I fail, I think he will say something about how much money I wasted. I kind of wish I had never told him that I have the RX to fill. It's just right now, money is tight. I'm going to do this, but the timing has to be just right. Does this make any sense? Or am I just making excuses?

Oldtex, my feeling on your situation, don't add more pressure to your self. Do your best today, then do your best tomorrow. ok, do you get the idea?

Oh Pamy, not shocked. He knew I've been wanting to quit for some time now. Surprised, is probably, more the word I'd use. Surprised, I did it and did'nt tell him!
