First thing in the morning with my coffee. Don't miss it a bit and don't even think about it. Stress is another one.

HE NOPE

Glad you're well, Chrysalis! Thanks for stopping by. Come back as often as you like or as often as you can. :)

Markus, that album has been one of the favorites since it came out. "Wasted Sunsets" is one that has stood the test of time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-eGYwNrCcY

Thank you! My purpose in life is to be a Dad to my beautiful little girl. :) Happy Father's Day to all the fathers here and elsewhere. :beach:

NOPE!!!

NOPE!

Congrats on 6 months! There can be no turning back now. :)

If so, check out the following video series by Joel. The clock is ticking and time is on your side if you quit smoking now. http://www.quittrain.com/topic/4836-can-you-spare-about-an-hour-and-half-to-help-to-save-your-life/

I suggest you get back right away and stop the stupid smoking now, while you still can. You don't want to be 10 years down the road and wishing you'd stopped back in June 2015. Don't be that person. The opportunity to quit is right now. Let your body start healing and stop any further damage. Just quit. I don't know what you're going through or how it's affecting you but I do know that no matter what happens to us, it's no reason or excuse to smoke. I too have been through mountains of shit since I quit. We're talking the Swiss Alps (those are big, aren't they? :) ) I didn't smoke and to this day I am grateful. Get back here and let those with strong quits with lots of time under their belts help you. Some things may be uncomfortable to hear, like "your making excuses" and "easy peasy" but those are a whole lot better to hear than "you've got cancer" and then list can go on and on. People tell you those things for a reason. For one, they care or they wouldn't take the time to respond and two, there is wisdom in those replies. Trust me, get back on the train now and just quit.

You're darn right it's okay to spend some of that money saved from buying smokes. Those rewards are reminders of the big picture and the importance of being committed to your quit. My first reward was a Sonicare Diamond Clean toothbrush. :D

Your a strong woman and an inspiration, Tracey. I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through and what you're going through but I can take a piece of your experience and wisdom to carry with me throughout my life. Keep your chin up.

Wonderful pictures! Made my morning to see bright, happy smiles. :D

I'm so sorry for your loss, Toni. You've got a pretty quit to endure that and not smoke. As you know smoking would not have helped a single bit.

GR8 job, Nixter!
