Reciprocity

Oh WOW! That's fabulous Frez Huge congratulations to you! I'm sure you'll be very proud when you take that walk today. Well Done!!

Great Work, way to go Kermit Each month your quit grows bigger and stronger!

^^^^ I know! The difference between this time of year and say, November or December is incredible. In late November, I could sleep till noon easily. This time of year, some animal is ruining my slumber starting around 3:00 AM ? And, the light starts around 4:00 AM these days - Gawd!! It'll be even worse next month!!

Niners Yeah, it's weird. If you buy something that is $1.02 then you just pay $1.00 if it's cash. If it's $1.03 then you pay $1.05 if it's cash. If it's credit or debit then it's the exact price no matter what - go figure!!

That's exactly why this IS an important thread to be posted!!! We all need to reflect from time to time on just how many loved ones have met a horrible end of life because they could not battle this horrible, gripping addiction. WE are doing just that! Battling and winning that battle.That represents hope for a better life for all that hang on to their quits. I think it might be Johnny's signature line that says something like: "I didn't quit smoking to live longer but to live better." I'm paraphrasing of course but you get the idea. Lets all quit and stay quit so we can live better. No matter whether we have 1 or 100 years still available to us.

^^^^ That looks like it raining Australian spiders ? You keep saying it's safe there but I know it's not. Horrible man-eating spiders everywhere ?

OK - I'm in!! NOPE!

In keeping with tomorrow's special nuptials that Wee fluffy me will be watching with great interest; I'll pledge my Royal NOPE!

I found it tough at times too - really tough like; I don't know if I can do this kind of tough but you're right. Grit your teeth and power though those times and they will diminish in time and become less frequent and you'll find yourself in such a much batter place Now go camping like you said! Which place are you camping at? Hilton, Best Western? Hampton Inn's not bad too ?

8 Nope - still as bright as a new penny!! Wait, we don't have pennies anymore??

Ummm .............................. there's a reason they all still have their pants on ....................

Here's what I'm doing at 4:00 f'ing AM in the morning tomorrow!

Happy 3rd Quit Smoking Anniversary Rajag!!

You are already starting to reap the benefits of quitting lml. Aside from not smelling of cigarettes, look at the freedom you have already gained. Freedom to sit and talk with your daughter without having to run out for a smoke. For me, I think that has been the greatest benefit of quitting. Free to do what I want when I want for as long as I want. I no longer bow down to the demands of nicotine

Yeah .... no shit eh?

Wow Ren, 2 months smoke free already! Congratulations to you for reaching yet another milestone on your journey to lifelong freedom! Treat yourself to something special today. We'll see you next month at your 1/4 year quit mark.

This is great news Novo!! 1 month smoke free and moving ahead to even better days ahead Great work! Be sure to celebrate this major accomplishment.

My father also died largely because of smoking. I remember he had to sleep sitting up to breathe well enough to sleep. How sad is that? He had to be on oxygen for the last years of his life. I know he regretted having been a smoker and never really quitting (went to cigars after cigarettes). My sister also died from a combination of smoking & drinking herself to death. Now SHE was an addict!!! I cleaned her house out and her bedroom was absolutely disgusting with brown goo literally running down her walls. My God! I've never seen anything more disgusting ? If her walls were like that ..... what did her lungs look like? Yes, you may feel like smoking lml. Your quit is still young. Think about what smoking does to us though and to our loved ones and maybe the urge to light one up will fade a little. If you stay with your quit for long enough, it certainly will ease and you will be happy that you stayed true to your commitment not to smoke!
