You raised some beauties! And the little ones are just too cute :) I hardly ever missed a high school football game while my grandson was playing. Loved that. Now I guess I wait for the next grandkid, which probably won't be football. He races dirt bikes. But all over the country, so we aren't able to get to as many as we would like. Funny how we become fanatic fans of whatever sport our kids or grandkids play. :)

Way to go Jackie! I know exactly how you feel, been there, done that. Now it's forward only for both of us :)

You are doing it Nat! No jinx at all because it gets better every day, little by little. You are going to love your smoke-free life :)

Love these two! Is the one on left a Malinois or are they both GSD? Beautiful creatures :)

hhmmm.....I got out of bed today, does that count? Hey it is Saturday after all :)

ha ha Yep, the bread glove and diet water. Oh, and really need those "Picnic Pants" for the next family reunion. :D

Congratulations on a year of Freedom :)

Big NOPE for me :)

I bet he makes an awesome running partner! So sorry about your boxer having cancer. Good luck with the 5k!

Oh DD, If I knew where you were I would kidnap your Beast! I love GSD's. Wish I lived in the country so I could have another one.

Congratulations! Impressive :)

Congratulations Sammie :)

Awesome news! And so glad you're not even thinking of smoking. Thanks for the update.

Oh Leanna, That food is looking soooo goood!

Congratulations! :)

Hey Jen, Hoping you show up here soon. I miss my "old" quit partner. Come on in, you can do this again :)

Haha, I'm about 2 minutes behind you in pledging Marti. Lol NOPE for me!

Good Morning! Please join me in pledging to remain smoke-free today. NOPE

So nice to hear things are going good so far. You and Mom are in my thoughts.

Same here Jackie. I turned the corner and this is where I landed? :wacko:

So sorry (((Nancy)))

Hi Natalie, I don't have answers to all your questions, as my quit is fairly new. I can tell you that it really doesn't have to be hard to quit. Have you read Alan Carr's book yet? The Easy Way to Quit Smoking? I can't remember whether you said you had read it or not. I have read it more than once. I have quit smoking more than once. This time was different because I FINALLY realized that smoking does nothing for us. Not. one. single. thing. Except relieve us of withdrawal from the last one we smoked. Once I understood this, it made quitting soooo much easier. Oh I had a few uncomfortable moments, but that's about it. Instead of "craving" a cigarette, I have thoughts of smoking. I smoked for so many years, there are bound to be memories. I dismiss them, tell myself that I no longer am a slave to nicotine, and carry on. I found that keeping busy the first few days was a real benefit. Made the time fly. I read everything I could here on this site and on whyquit.com I read Alan Carr's book again. I also forced myself to get outside and walk my dogs, whether I felt like it or not. By the time I finished walking I felt better. Keep posting here. There are no silly questions. There is a lot of knowledge here, so keep asking. You can do this :)
