Could be some big things going on with her. She posted in one of the News & Views threads a month or so ago that Colossus was selling his business, didn't think the political climate was going to be right for them in the upcoming years.

Yay for six months! For me that was the point when I really knew I was a non-smoker.

And yay for everyone posting here (or lurking) who has made a commitment to be smoke free. It is truly liberating!

Boberg! 6 whole freakin months!!

I am so proud of you!!! I know watching BB and reading about it on the net was a big smoke trigger for me and prolly you also. So we have made it thru 2 BBs and still stayed smoke free!

You are amazing!

Right back at you Pamy! Thanks for all your CHEERFUL words of encouragement. Yep, 2 BB's, I am proud of us....and this one is a lot easier than the first one was.

Thanks Twinkie, you guys who walked the smoke free path before me were such an inspiration to me.

Lawrie each day I still make the decision not to smoke....it is not a battle just a decision cause I still want one almost daily and I just keep reminding myself that it will not improve my life one bit, but it will costs LOTS of money, make me smell like cigs again, cause me to have to sneak out at work for a cig, influence where I go, ect.

CONGRATS TO BOBERG!!!!!!!!!

Have you guys noticed how totally excited some people get when you tell them you quit smoking. It is rather heartening.

semi-funny story--

I am at the doc's office and we are discussing my 35 pound weight gain. I asked the doctor why he wasn't concerned about that. He told me that gaining weight is only this bad for me and held his hands up about 6 inches apart. He said smoking was this bad and held his hands about 18 inches apart.

I said that was interesting, my butt reacted the same way, (from small to large).
(that story may be better told verbally)

Anyway, this is a long strange journey and I am hoping that there will be a day when I don't think of a cigarette at all. Don't need them but still think about them. I can't remember 90% of what I need to, why do I remember cigarettes?


Again, Congrats Boberg. Keep it up.

OK, thought that I would come in here and add my name to the quitters list.

I stopped yesterday. My sister recently found out she was pregnant, and had to quit so I decided to quit with her. After I talked about it last week, two of my co-workers decided to join in. So our quit date was Monday.

Tried the gum yesterday and ended the day with a major headache. I don't know if it was the gum or what, but I stopped at Wal-Mart after work to pick up the patch. I quick a couple of years ago on the patch and it was really easy. Did not smoke for 6 months.

I really need to stop this time and for good. I feel better when I don't smoke and miss that feeling. I hate being chained to the thought of when I am going to have my next cigarette and where will I be able to have it.

Wish me luck all! I am so proud of some of you guys, you are all an inspiration!

Whoo Hoo Zgoodgirl, way to go!

Ditto what Twinkie said, please pop in here and post whenever and frequently. We are here to help, give encouragement and suggestions on ways to get thru it.

Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Quit Smoking" was a BIG help to me and many others here, you might want to pick it up at your library or local book store and give it a try.

Good Luck and hope to see you here often!

Zgood, Congratulations. you made it through one day and are almost through your second.

Bo is right, the Allen Carr book is a lifesaver.

This is a great place to come on the days when you are having trouble cuz someone will encourage you to stick with it. Tell your friends also.

We're here when you need us.

Good luck.
