[i]Also time, time is my other weapon, time is to my side; with more time passing without smoking, I am getting stronger and the addiction is getting weaker. [/i]
Adam, I rarely post anymore but your thread caught my eye and I wanted to give you a word of encouragement if I can. The above statement was MY mission statement throughout my quit....GET THE TIME BEHIND ME....and JUST DON'T SMOKE.
My quit was cold turkey on the spot after a doc scare and I was totally unprepared....angry and scared. I had to focus on the fact that TIME would take care of things eventually.
Mine was a rough ride for quite awhile but my perseverance paid off. I just kept doing it....no matter what...every day. You can do this too. Your overall attitude is better than mine was. That will help you.
Ask your wife to please be patient with you and let her know how sorry you are to have to put her through this but this is a fight for your life.
Don't give in. TIME IS ON YOUR SIDE. The first couple of weeks are the toughest. Stay close here. You can do it.
I wish you the very best, my friend. I smoked even longer than you.

Oh....I am so sorry. I forgot to say.....congratulations for having come this far. 6 days is awesome. Don't give up the TIME you've put in. Please.
I wish you the best....
Adam,
No you're not out of fuel.
Get up tomorrow and do it again.
Healer is right. Just do tomorrow. Don't think ahead.
I know your wife is having a hard time understanding what you're going through and thats a bummer but do it anyway. You have to if you are going to succeed.
I'm sorry it's bad. It was for me too.
I wish you the best tomorrow.
Adam, don't smoke. Do the time. You won't regret it....I promise.
Surely you wouldn't throw away 7 days. I can't even imagine
Best,
Mel
Lizzie,
1000 days is awesome. I'm sorry I'm late seeing this. Like you, I don't come around that much anymore.
I sure do remember your early days though. I'm proud of you, girl. You've come a long way.
LOL....I always love seeing you Brits talking to each other....in that language you have...
[i]See you in the summer at the Oval with luna for a bit of leather on willow?!![/i]
What the heck??? I'm not sure I WANT to know....
Congrats, Lizzie. You done good. ;)
[b]PAT!!!!![/b]
So you NEVER come over here anymore, huh?, and certainly don't NEED to post or brag HERE anymore....
Sigh.....
I love you, my friend. Congratulations on 3 years (WOW!).
You KNOW how PROUD of you I am. Yours was the hardest I've even seen.....but you did it.
I can't wait to see you again in October....
Folks, Pat is a testament. Don't give up now. It DOES get better. I swear.
Three years did 'seal' it for me....absolutely.

calling the crew over...
Tis THE day in your land, dear Iris....and I'm smiling over this...
You started celebrating early I see and I missed that but I'm certainly here now.
You made this remarkable milestone....2 years smokefree.
Iris, saying I'm proud of you sounds lame. It is remarkable what all you went through while you were battling this devil and still....just kept on doing it ...day after day. You had a hard time.
Congratulations, Iris. I can hear the pride in your voice.
I am proud of you.
Shalom backatcha. ;)
Love,
Melanie
LOL...that went before I wanted it to. Sorry.
I'm just trying to say....congratulations to both of you.
You both always put a smile on my face. I love your happiness.
Pen, 700 days is awesome. It was worth it, wasn't it?
In more ways than one.
MY very best to you.
Melanie
Dear Pen,
I am so very late getting here and I apologize. I have been out of town and while I was, I remembered that your quit date was in May.
Congratulations, my friend, on being quit for 2 SOLID years.
LOL....you always TOLD IT LIKE IT WAS....and you proved it worked for you. I have nothing but the greatest admiration for what you've done....and I LOVE the WAY you did it...
'Sides....you were always one of my most favorite people here.... ;)
I hope yours and Luna's lives are full of.....[i]TRULY MAGICAL DAYS[/i]....these days.
Much love,
Melanie
