For realz, I have had a tough couple of weeks, and this post just made me happy. Well said, and thank you for saying it Beth. Onward and upward (sans cig).

Ok so just started one, and the narrator from 'Wuthering Heights' is just frigging hilarious. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. And WH is anything but funny, it's been a long time since I read it, but the term that comes to mind is tragic. She just does 'haughty indignation' so well! And she makes most conversations happen in indignant tones. It just cracks me right up. I tried to explain what's so funny to hb, but sadly I really think you have to hear her to understand. (Audible was only .99!) Ifffff anyone needs cheering up (I know I do), grab this one.

Kid Rock. ;-) My personal fave is Gavin Rossdale. So many talented artists, what a crazy job, to be a singer.

Love this song still! And that one by him and Cheryl Crow. Road trip to HM's for smoke free concert, who's in? I heard she said we could all stay at her place.

Dang it I am stuck in the middle of a work crisis, doctor's hours without the pay. I will try stop by if I can get this stuff sorted.

:bye: :lol2:

Omigosh that is awesome. There are a few good guys left out there :cray: (Closest smiley to happy tears I could find)

Sharon, I don't have kids so can't offer any advice,but am sending positive vibes your way. I love the name Lucy, very pretty.

How about 8pm CST

Instant decaf ok?

BYOM? (Moonshine)

What's on your wish list at this moment? I'm wishing we had mouthwash in both bathrooms so I don't have to hop back and forth. I brush my teeth in morn in guest bath b/c sonicare is so loud n don't wanna disturb hb.

Won't be long now!! Great job to to you Colleen, thanks for all the inspiration.

But...but... I never learned how to count.

Amy - we are here for you. I know many of us thought there is no way in H-E-double hockey sticks we could quit. Girl, pretty much everyone who inhales nicotine gets addicted, not addictive personalities. It's the drug. But it's the FEAR that keeps us smoking, miserable addicts, terrified of being more miserable ex-addicts. Because we have been told over and over and over how hard it is to quit and how such a small % succeed. So long as we keep (literally) buying into than nonsense, we are lining some fat cat's wallet. It's not true. You are no different than any one of us. And if we can do it, for sure you can too. :) I want all the best for you, you don't deserve this torture. This video struck a real chord with me in the early part of my quit. I remember how scared I was at the very beginning. Not overnight, but quickly that fear disappeared. It does for us all :)

I used to have the WORST sour stomach. Always felt queasy. Now I take the occasional tums but that is nothing compared to the way I used to live off of them. Seems like everything gets better when we quit :yu:

Jingle Balls! For some reason, this picture reminded me of you All joking aside, HUGE congrats.

Colleen, you looked smashing when you sashayed into my dreams last night in that lace and fur teddy....Oh wait, is this not PM? :whistle3:

I am so moved by all the responses in this thread. Soozie, we are rooting for you! Allen Carr audible helped me through more times than I'd ever care to admit. You deserve happiness, you deserve to be free of this horrible addiction. I loved what Paul said earlier. I did that too and it worked. Take smoking off the table. When it's off the table, there is no gut wrenching agony of "do I or don't I." You know that you don't. Here's a disturbing vid that I've peeked at a few times to remind me I'm doing the right thing:

Awesome! I am so happy for you. You are an amazing person R!

Easily Easily 2 years behind in my reading. I just started reading my first book on kindle last night - finally off the audibles. I think I am seeing almost perfect!! Since the procedure was 3/7 it's about darn time. It was a tough, tough decision on what to read first. But I chose this one in honor of my queen Karina Halle. I have been saving it for a rainy day, well that rainy days is here :i-m_so_happy:

Soozie, I just saw this, I must be blind. Hahah. I like your spirit and your tenacity! Great job to you madam!

Let's all pile into Lisa's car and go see ourselves a show!

Oh I just saw this. Yay!! Such good news. :)
