Fantastic job on the 2 year mark Grund -- Congrats!!!

Glad to see both Michelle and NoNic back on the NOPE board -- glad that both of you are still in there----Keep Strong!!!!

Fantastic job on the 10 days lkea you are doing fine at this point. As reci says above keep up on the fluids. As to eating do not worry about it so much at this point. I gained some weight but I am close to my weight prior to quitting at this time, also my doctor wanted me to focus more on the quit than on the food and it all worked out. Feeling down during the first couple of weeks was my normal also -- start focusing on the benefits you should be starting to fell at this time and that may lift your spirits. Keep strong and focus on the positives!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

New article on vaping illness and the numbers are up. This I truly hope helps towards more research and regulation. And yes Wayne I agree that numbers could be related to more young people vape. https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/17/health/vaping-lung-disease-states/index.html

Seen an article from USA Today on this yesterday. More reports from more than a couple of states coming in on this so now we hopefully get some more action on this. Is kind of strange that impacts seen are mostly on younger people at this point but at least should create more research!!!!

11 months -- great job. Only 1 more month to that big celebration so you had better start packing!!!!

Kdad hard to believe that you are at 11 month already -- great job. Those lights on the lido deck should be getting pretty bright now, you are almost there. Congrats on all the work you have put in!!!!

Awesome job -- congrats on the 4 month mark. Hope you celebrated in style -- Keep The Quit, you are going strong now!!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well hope this comes out ok. I am well into spending my saved money from quitting. Most all of you know I am having major dental work and most of the damage was created from smoking. Anyway had my last oral surgery today -- that was $1100.00 and will include a crown on another tooth. In 3 weeks I get my impressions for really high quality partial dentures and that will add $3800.00 on top of another 1000 spent for the first oral surgery. Anyway had some good meds at the office to get thru and some good meds to get me thru the next three days --- on the down hill roll now and in a month or so will be able to eat somewhat normally and be proud of my smile. Sure glad I saved that money, I would like to have travelled some but in the future I can take care of that. Anyway on the mend and on to a better smile. No regrets -- I did this to myself and I will get it taken care of now that I have the means and the motivation!!!!!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!
