Some Facts

What really p*$$e$ me off is that we have all this evidence about how harmful tobacco is and yet it is LEGAL. So glad it is banned just about everywhere in CA. Don't like the cig nazis but the damage to health is irrefutable. :mad: [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 196 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,932 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $980 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 25 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 17 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

Help Having a bad day

And remember, Cuddles, this too will pass. And as time goes by it gets much easier, the craves become passing smoking thoughts and you will have beaten the nicodemon. I hung in there alot just because I'm too dam stubborn to let him win. I am in control not some pile of carceogenic chemical foliage wrapped in paper....that scenario is ludicrous! :mad: Stay strong and stay close....

100-day ramblings... aka - just about everything I know about quitting

Congrats,BFS, I knew you had the strength and determination to get the job done. 100 days is magnificent as is your ramble. Well done, girl, you are truly an inspiration to all of us. :) Be sure to rewards yourself well.

Interesting observation

I've always felt that after a "long" period of time, (30 days isn't that long but certainly feels like it) the junkie talk about I can have "just one" kicks in and we feel complacent enough to do it. I'm almost at 200 days and am thinking smoking for a couple of days. I won't but just feel that nicodemon is a mean spirited bas%$#d trying to ruin my hard fought anniversaries! :) And of course boredom is a mean trigger....the doldrums of winter....quit for all seasons, blah, blah, blah. I'm betting the Stones will sing Start Me Up at the half today. Anybody want to bet?

TOP 10 SIGNS OF SSC ADDICTION

I knew I was an ssc-aholic when I started rewarding myself for NOT checking in for several days. As in YESSSS.......I can move on with life as a nonsmoker without my ssc fix. I am glad I caught this post, though. It is a classic!!!! :) NOPE, Janet [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/23/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 193 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,871 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $965 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 25 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Do I think too much?

Just don't smoke. It is that easy. One cigarette is too many and one thousand is not enough.
