Boo, you made my day. My son is 39 and we always watched the A team with him.

Nope In the US it is Mothers' Day Today. Happy Mothers' Day Moms.

Lilly, we are very proud of you. You have come such a long way. You are finally winning the battle. You will get there.

You are still pretty early in your quit. With me, that did pass after a while. You are doing great Ankush!

You could always get a fan. They might get the message Jim I think now that we have found our freedom, we have no patience for the filthy habit.

Farmgirl, I was the same with my kids. I would get them to school and could not wait to relax and have my cigarette. I knew then that it was wrong and did not want my children following my path. As far as watching others smoke, I never felt jealous that they could and I was quitting. I kind of chuckle now, because I critique how they smoke. Some take long drags and savor their cigarette and some take quick, little puffs and have to flick their ash every time. None of them look sexy or mature to me, which is the lure that made me want to smoke when I was a young adult. I have so much empathy for them. The young ones most likely haven't gotten it yet. Then I wonder if the older ones feel as I did - ashamed and helplessly stuck?

It always seemed impossible until I met all of you. The addiction makes you feel as if it is impossible. Now, I feel like I have run the marathon but that you were all there to hold me up and help me cross the finish line. The smoking is just a distant thought now. I have the power to live life without it. Thank you

Be prepared. If you and sugar britches have little ones, you will be seeing it a lot!

And we will be right her holding you up. Just keep posting and we will be here. Lilly you can do this.

It will work out in the wash

Nope (it is Wednesday) CB Dave is testing us all.

Great post MLMR. I also felt the same at one point. It can and does become a thing of the past. What a wonderful feeling to know that it no longer has a hold on you.

Nope

I'm still here!

Okay Potts, Sunshine 59 it is. I suppose it does not matter which name you pick as long as you keep going with that great quit!

I liked your original "Potts". Can't seem to get accustomed to all your changes.

Behave and have a wonderful trip. You certainly have earned it. You will be missed.

He ran in circles

Hi Sammy, so glad you found us. Congratulations on your two month quit. I smoked for 42 years and I also experienced depression with my quit. I already had been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, before my quit, so I did see my physician. She just upped my meds and it helped. You are in the early stages of your quit, but still should discuss your feeling with you physician. You are so awesome quitting after 50 years. Your self esteem should start to build as your quit gets further behind you. Know we are here to help you on this journey. Please reach out to us if you need to. I am glad you have your friend (pet). There is a section to post pictures of our dogs. Would love to see your furry little friend. As you can see in my picture, we have a house full.

I am shocked. I did not realize this was legal in the U.S. I could see a test for drugs but not smoking. Smoking is not illegal (though it should be) It must feel good to have this plus on your job hunting side. Know that I am praying something comes along soon.
