Congrats to Pamy & Gal and everyone who's licked and kicked that dangerous habit. I've found some goofy gifs you can print up and post around your desk or home. LOL

Sajo, get the book. You may have to wade through a lot of stuff that seems irrelevant but there are some real nuggets of gold in there that will keep you from smoking when you really get the urge. The book helps more than anything else, I have tried a lot of methods. A friend of mine did quit smoking for 5 months using Chantix. She had really bad dreams but otherwise thought it was great. She has gone back to smoking but there were a lot of reasons for that. I told her about the book. It is so encouraging to see how long everyone has gone without smoking. This has been a long 5 weeks for me and I am still eating too much to compensate but that will be taken care of soon. I couldn't have done it without all of you. I will be grateful forever!!!!

I hope everyone is keeping up their efforts; it's truly worth the hardship to get over those rough spots. I still have not smoked, but today was the first time that I sat near someone smoking outside and it bothered me! At the same time as I felt nauseated by the smoke, I was excited that it bothered me! OK, I was waiting for a bus to go home and I was not feeling well, but still, smoke had never bothered me before. I guess I am finally a bonafide non smoker! I think April 1st was 2 years for me. What a grand feeling, so keep it up everybody!

Hello fellow quitters!!! I went out last nite and hung outside with smokers and man does my chest and throat hurt today!! I still like the smell so I hung out witht the kids outside but I dont think I will do that as much next time. It was a good reminder of how crappy I used to feel and how thrilled I am to know I wont feel that way ever again!!! I have lost 10lbs so far(in about a month)! I have only 2 more to go until I am at my pre quitting weight. 140. Then I want to lose another 10. I think my ideal weight is about 120 but I made my goal 130 by summer....then I can see how I feel.

Hi all. Pamy, congrats on losing the weight. I think I know where it went (see my hips) Twink, 7 months is awesome. Shadoe, all I can say is WOW!! Pamy, the flu is different from a respiratory infection and the flu vaccine this year wasn't as effective as usual. Probably not smoking means you get better from the flu faster. I don't cough, my skin looks better and I hardly ever get heartburn anymore. Who knew!!!

LOL Geri!! well I gained 3lbs in my weigh in today..I knew it wouldnt be good cuz I ate crappy this week cuz I was/am sick. I am getting worse again grrrrrrr Geri, no kidding!! who knew??!!! Today I was thinking that I almost feel as if I have come out of a fog...like things are clearer...I am getting things done that I have put off for years, even thought I have flu I still feel good on the inside. ALso around the time I quit I started watching Joel Osten, he is such a positive force and I think his message also makes me feel like I am powerful now! Continued good luck to all the quitters here!

I am back!!! Just read through all the posts since I left, and we have a new quitter! Yay Geri! You are doing great. Congratulations to Boberg for staying quit during extreme stress. Congratulations to Slothkitten and Nickovtyme for succeeding on the second attempt. Congratulations to everybody I invariably missed. Sorry you got the flu again, Pamy. Was just reading in the paper today that the flu vaccines they made for this year were the wrong guesses on which strains would appear, so more people are getting the flu. I agree that your symptoms will probably be lesser, and you will get well sooner than if you were a smoker.

Wow, it has been a week since anyone posted. I hope that means that everyone is doing well. Mentally I am having a tough time and I am eating up a storm. My weight gain is starting to get serious. If we can resolve the ant problem in our pool, I think it is almost warm enough for me to add that to my limited exercise regimen. I hope that helps cuz it is really tempting to smoke again to drop ten pounds. Physically, my body could care less about nicotine. I wish it could talk to my head!!
