Hi Moss, Glad to hear from you. Sorry about your daughter, but I can sympathize, I know that depression all to well, it was horrible the first time I tried to quit, it is what did me in actually. She to will find her time, just like we are trying to do, right? I have good and bad days too, just like you. Lately, it has been more of the downs with a lot more anxiety, don't know why, but am trying to work through it. I know I would have the anxiety even if I smoked, and probably worse, so that keeps me quit. Hope we all hang tough together. Have a great day..everyone.

Hi Moss and all the other November quitters and Thanks for checking in! I am doing well....still smoke free, although like Moss said there are clearly still ups and downs. I believe that this will continue to be a struggle for a bit more time but as each day passes I am grateful that I do not smoke! Moss I do think about you often and always send you positive vibes to make it through this journey. I am sorry to hear about your daughter but am very glad that she has a fantastic father who is there to support her and provide a fantastic example of a quitter. You just keep practicing what you preach and she will join you when the time is right for her. I will send some good thoughts your way! Keep your guard up and distract yourself when you get those out of nowhere cravings....so much easier today than it was the first week so now I know that I can live as a non smoker and you know you can too! Thanks again for checking in...keep the quit!

Hey Moss, Great to hear from you, and especially to hear how successful you've been at this! I'm sure you told your daughter about your first sputter. You might suggest she talk to her doctor about medication to help. Zyban and wellbutrin are commonly prescribed anti-depressants to help with smoking cessation, and chantix is another new medication that seems to help in that area. Anyway, thanks for the congrats, and keep on keeping on. You're doing a fabulous job!!!!

Moss Old Buddy Glad to see your still hanging in their and fighting the good fight.Your daughter will make it she's a chip of the old ?? block right.Just a suggestion get her to check on the depression with an m.d. before she starts again the smoking maybe masking it. All the best . :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/20/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 361 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 6,498 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $3,610.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 87 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 41 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

Hello Everyone and a Good Day to you all. Have been without internet access for a while again so I am pleased to check in. I am still smoke free. Have been checking in at work but that has been getting more difficult lately. Management!! Ups and Downs are still the recipe for me on the "staying smoke free road". The good days are great and then the WHAM pops in when I least expect it. So I chug along with the confidence that this too shall pass, and it does. I know that Tom just reached a year and Aloha and Bear are celebrating this week. I know I won't be able to congratulate on the proper day So here is a Heartfelt CONGRATS to you all. I know that when I can't get on here often I miss a lot of milestones and lose track of the people who have cared for me and me for them. Please know that all of you at SSC are in my prayers. Especially the new folks because I know how scary and difficult the start of this can be. When I do get on I usually check on the new people. For those of you who remember a post about my daughter. She made an attempt but lost it at between 2 -3 weeks in. She is recharging her batteries and educating herself. She sunk in to such a deep depression that even I was almost relieved when she gave in. That does not sound good coming from me but I have never seen her hurting so much. Luckily she is young and hopefully has a little time to learn and try again soon. Duty calls but I will be able to check in tonight or tomorrow so if you've a mind to just say Hi or let me know how you are. Freedom 26 and ML, I hope you are well fellow No-Embers. Gratitude Moss [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]11/19/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 117 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,755 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $394.88 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 18 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 54 [B]Seconds:[/B] 30
