And you get a bar of soap to clean off your hand, finally! I insert a slice of peach pie

And the Coke machine gives comrade simba thousands of frozen tears that don’t melt because they come from good people and comrade simba is not sure he should have them and doesn’t want to explain how he got them, so he plants them everywhere he goes hoping they will heal the planet. I insert blackberry frozen yogurt made with wild blackberries

Keep your focus and keep going! Congratulations!

Thank you one and all! Everyone can give themselves a pat on the back for helping me quit and change my life for the better! I hope everyone can break free from smoking and regain their health and life. I have never described the beginning of my quit since I didn’t find the forum until I was quit for about a week and because I didn’t want it to seem like a plea for sympathy. On July 22 just before midnight I put out my last cigarette and threw the remaining ones in the trash. On July 23 at 5 o’clock in the morning my mother-in-law passed away. She was a beautiful woman and had her faculties even at 94 years. When I would push her wheelchair from bingo back to her room, I’d ask, “Stairs or the elevator?” and she always said elevator. So I quit on a day of sorrow but I never connected quitting with what was happening in my life, they were different things. Stress and grief were going to happen in my life whether I smoked or not. Smoking would not make it better, only worse. Smokers will lie to themselves and say that they will wait for a good time to quit. The good time to quit is right now, yesterday was a better time to quit, and a year ago was really good for me. I'll make dinner on Saturday to celebrate!

5 Six more months and you'll be singing a different tune. You should rally up some new counters.

If I didn't stay quit, I would have had to keep changing my name and I would have an identity crisis to boot. There is not much mystery to me but if quitters play the counting game, I will say Good morning to them!

Nine months is fantastic! Some even better ones coming up! Congratulations!

Nicotine is addictive and I consider myself to be a recovering addict. I know I can't have (nor do I want) any cigarettes. Not everyone who smokes becomes addicted to nicotine (about 1 in 10); for some it is a habit.
