I QUIT ON JAN 23,2009

Hi Astrofan
       I have to learn another routine for my golfing days because I used to smoke while I  played;I used to smoke 3 in the front nine and then 3 on the back nine; so I guess I have to carry 6 sugar free loolipops. I played tuesday and I felt strange; But I'm playing on saturday and I will take my new friends with me.
Thanks for you encouragment.
PD. All my rewards are golf oriente.

Hello

Hi Brittany
      I quit on jan 23, so we are approaching our first milestone: surviving Hell Week. I'm doing fine too; I just feel a little tired, but thats it; I have had a few cravings, but nothing bad, I can fight them switching my mind to positive thoughts. I'm on CHantix, and I been o.k. I began chewing gum (sugar free), just to have something in my mouth. We'll do fine. We will conquer this challenge.
Bless You

Reasons I am....

I'm happy I'm not smoking because:
-I can give my daughter a big hug without her saying: Mother, please don't smoke!!
-I can smell my own perfume
-I can spend a whole day at the shopping mall without having to go out for a smoke.
-I can enjoy a great dinner and the afterdinner conversation without the need of a nicotine fix
I can spend three hours at the movies
-I can enjoy a road trip in my car without  stopping for a cigarrette (or two)
-I don't have the words lung cancer in the back of my mind.
-I can have my yearly physical chec up with my doctor without having to listen a 30 minute lecture about the risks of smoking.
-I feel free to do whatever I want without having to spend time feeding my addiction.
 
I have many more, but these are the ones that come to my mind right now.

What are you thankful for ?

Hi

I'm thankful for my husband, my two kids, my parents,  and my sister,.
I'm thankful for my really true friends.
I thank God for the llife I have had, because I don't deserve it; He deceided to asign it to me.
I'm thankful for my health that I have tried to destroy.
There is a saying that says: Some people come to life to be happy  with wathever God gives them, and some people come to this life tu suffer because of the things God hasn't give them.
So we should be happy and thankful for everything.
Take care
Marivi
