My Dear Treasured co quitters Is it ok to drink and post??? After all, you guys are the reason I am happy and �happhappphappy� tonite. Today I have been smoke free for 100 days!! Today I spent the day at the beach�.. literally, as I am lucky enough to live on the coast of South Florida. Yes I had a few. And girls let me tell ya Cabana boys do not bring you Kool-Aid! I have planned on this day for a while thanks to you guys and rewards. I also planned on a ride home. Thanks soooo much for such an awesome day!! 100 days��.This just blows my mind! 200 days ago.....if you would have told me hey�..in 100 days you will be a nonsmoker and in 200 days you will be HAPPY and REJOICE that you are non smoker, I would have said��did you take your meds today? 200 days ago I was committed to NEVER quitting. I came to SSC with a quit plan and guys reached out to me, trusted me and cared enough to help me make this happen. As in trust, I mean you believed in me and my commitment to this quit journey, therefore you committed yourself to helping me get the tools and support I have needed to succeed. For that I am eternally grateful! You have helped save my life. For 34 years I hid every single human emotion behind smoking. When I was happy I smoked, when I was sad I smoked. When I wanted to cry, I smoked. Stressed, smoke, Celebrate, smoke. My brain absolutely rewarded and compensated depression emotions with nicotine. With help from you guys, I am now retraining my brain to feel happy and sad without the nicotine drug and it has not been easy, but doable. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for helping me to beat this NICO DEMON, or at least deal with it on a daily basis. (And I want to thank the academy, my producers and make up staff) LOL am I getting ridiculous?? I never never never thought I would be able to do this. I always pictured my future smoking from a hole in my throat, or with an oxygen tank. My SSC co quitters���.. you my friends, are going to heaven�..NO DOUBT��.I know��.the voices told me so. With Deep Respect and Love Karen (Come on�. how can I not love you guys) ? sorry this was long winded....I don't talk much....but when I do I guess its too much! [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Qui

ItsIronic, Congratulations my friend, 100 days is something to be proud of and it sounds like you are. I love your reward, I wish I lived close enough to the beach so I could go when I wanted to. I find the beach so relaxing just to hear the tide coming and going and hearing the waves breaking. We have been waiting for you at the beach, there is a big celebration going on for you. So hurry up and get over here. I too am so happy that we both found SSC. Its a great site to come to and learn and try to help each other. Be blessed, SUNSHINE [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/7/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 124 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,114 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $434 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 14 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44

Hello Karen I totally relate to this post. Cabana Boys or not and [quote] My brain absolutely rewarded and compensated depression emotions with nicotine. With help from you guys, I am now retraining my brain to feel happy and sad without the nicotine drug and it has not been easy, but doable. [/quote] This is so important to me and it is so challenging and so very doable. Thanks Glad to find relatedness here. Enjoy the beach! Don't strain yourself playing ball and I hear the food is mighty fine. Run your toes through the sand and enjoy! You deserve every reward that you can dream up.
