I think I knew smoke was bad it wasn't like a light bulb went on. When I was first married we lived in the same neighborhood as the Lucky Strike model did when she was old. I can remember sitting on the stoop and she would walk down the block she had a hole her throat from smoking. We were young we would put the cigarettes aside until she passed.

Welcome Pumpkin glad you found us. This is a very worthwhile journey you are on. And there are some great people here to help.

I know allot of men that quit and didn't have the urge again after they quit was a little jealous thinking maybe it is easier for them... Not sure I know for me I can't say it was a breeze and I still get a thought maybe not an urge but a thought

animals are great grew up with cats dogs bunnies. Then when my son was younger had a chinchilla cat and dog. They are allot of work but allot of fun

NOPE

Happy Birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday dear sonic happy birthday to you... :P

The thoughts come less and less but they do pop up you were aware of it and conquered it. Good for you.

Oh my gosh was visiting my sister in law for Easter, now her husband quit smoking after a heart attach that almost killed him. However his sister and my sister in law quit smoking but have been vaping for the last two years. Watching them was almost worse then watching if they were to smoke a cigarette. Those things are just as addicting they both claim it makes them sick but neither can stop. I find they gave up smoking and now walk around 24/7 with those things in their mouth...... At least with a cigarette you needed to go out side so you didn't smoke as much. The Vaping thing they carry all the time and do it everywhere. I know some people swear by them as a means to not smoke but it creeps me out. Maybe because as a teenager I was in rehab for a freebase addiction and it just seems to similar. I know that could just be my warped interpretation but it is the way I feel.......and I will cringe every time I see these.. Just my two cents I needed to vent not Vape LOL

So very sorry for your loss Nancy may he rest in peace.

NOPE not today ^_^

Yes and the weather looks good quite happy have a new dress for Easter Mass and volunteered to be an Usher. I find these days from Holy Thursday to Easter Sunday a special time... And looking forward to finally having some sweets for dessert. I made it all through Lent without one sweet or dessert will be baking something wonderful for after Dinner on Sunday.

NOPE

Your to young yet for that I think you said you just turned 30.... me creeping up to 49 :-)

I didn't have sleeping problems with quitting thankfully. However I am just hitting that age where hormones have started to interrupt my sleep. I always heard about THAT AGE and I kept thinking NOPE not me I like to sleep but mother nature however doesn't care I like 8 hours.......

oh and Way to go!

Holy crap that is allot of cigs

I remember having my wisdom teeth removed. I also wore braces for over four years and before they were put on I had molars removed to make room. I can remember smoking after oral surgery even though it was so gross....... yep another good reason not to be a smoker...

I tell myself anyone can be a smoker but not everyone can be a NON_SMOKER.

Nope and especially not on Holy Thursday ;)

hahaha I guess I will stick around Doreen

I hadn't spotted this glad it was brought to the front line Thanks

Safe traveling.... see ya on the return

I know I will have to find a way to keep my hands busy.... maybe I will need to keep some bubble for blowing to give my breath something to do..

30 WOW how exciting... I remember being excited at 40 not sure how I will feel at 50.... I would say half way there but not thinking of living until 100. Although my Granny is still going at 98.... So who knows.

Yeah I swear addiction runs in the family. I always remind my son. We have gamblers/drug addicts and Alcoholics on both sides growing up he got tired of me reminding him. It is so important this way the next generation has a fighting chance. I think sometimes being aware of the behavior keeps us on our toes. My current partner's mother is a founding member of Gam-a-non. Not sure which addictions are the worst.......Guess none is the correct answer. Just gotta stay diligent.
