PENITENT?S 6 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TUESDAY!!!!!!

Wow, what a pleasure.

It's been at least a year maybe a bunch more since I've checked back to take a look at the old place.

And it's Penitents's 6.

Nice.

I'm not surprised.

Congrats on another anniversary, Pen. Good to see you and Luna.

I hope all is well with you.

It's nice to be done with that, isn't it? No thoughts, no agonies, no craves or holds on us. No going back.

Bravo.

Depression and anxiety still at day 16?

I don't know how old you are or how long you smoked or how much.

Hey babe. Different people do it different ways. Cigarette smoking is the toughest to kick.

16 days is great but you've got some ways to go. Don't lose hope. That's awesome that you've done that much,.

Don't freak out. You're ok. It takes a while longer.

Please please don't feel discouraged (you will anyway but cut through it, it is temporary, ok?).

Each day, get up. Say you can do this. There is lot's of anxiety, depression, what the hell and all that. Just do it. That's the only way. Believe that you can and that the badness will ease.

You can do this. I know you can.

Hi StellaBlue (yes I am a fellow Deadhead),

I haven't been here in forever but owe so much to so many people WAY BACK when.

Penitent! Dude. You're still the man! Good to see you.

Pen's right, Stella. Be careful. The road gets a little rocky now. I don't mean dreadful craves, it's more about....gosh I'm sick of doing this. Nobody is paying attention to my wonderful quit and giving me kudos. So it's just not that special anymore. The other day I stood next to a smoker and.....

How bad would one be?

90 days is amazing. I remember how I felt. But, babe, ride out the weirdness. Ok? Maybe it won't hit you but it did me. I almost lost it then.

But seriously the road gets easier everyday and the pride and joy and smell. Your skin!

And now tomorrow I have some amazing stats to post. I haven't done that in a few years.

Other than having my children and marrying my amazing spouse, quitting smoking is my best accomplishment. I never ever thought I could do it. Until I did it ONE DAY AT TIME. Put in the time and you'll be amazed at how much your life will change.

You can do it!

My very best to you.

Me too, Stella. I didn't mean to steal your thread (we used to hate that when it happened. We were a lot bigger group back then and it happened often).

My husband is playing Dead right now on stereo so I've got background music.

Braces! Oh lord I did that as an adult too. Twice! In my 30s (I don't know how old you are). (I'm older than Pen but only a bit and I'm not telling anything else other than that). (I once asked him to marry me. He had a total melt down. Dont tell him....I didn't really mean it but gosh it was fun!)

I hated them until I loved them. If you need braces, babe and can swing the money from all you save from quitting smoking. That is a fabulous reward.

I'm truly excited for you.

This quitting stuff is hard. Maybe some of the hardest you've ever had to do. Nicotine addiction is the hardest research shows.

You're going to love it, Stella. It may take year to feel the full thing. It may take 5 years to never have a crave again. But by that time you can say, seriously? I wanted a what?

You're doing the right thing. You're thinking about rewards and looking forward to the future.

Here's a promise, Stella from me to you.....if you stay the course, you will win this battle.....ONE DAY AT A TIME. Each day you put behind you gets you closer.

Oh lord. I don't really live in Canada. I love Canada. I've been there once. They really have their **** together unlike us these days. In reality I live in Athens, Ga. In the states. I don't know how to change my settings.

Pen, it was fabulous to "see" you too! We're the bomb right? Quitting all those years ago. Wow! It feels good.

Congtras on 42 days now, Stella. I LOVE your love of your quit!

Don't give up! It gets better.

Oh no. Don't worry. You're not likely to have to wear braces twice. Not unless after the first time you then try and eat a steering wheel like I did....

. The first time was part of a procedure to straigthen out my jaw alignment, not so much crooked teeth. I had to wear braces for two years and at the end I had to have my jaw broken, realigned and wired shut for 8 weeks. Two years later I had a bad car wreck and broke my jaw again (among a few other things). Doc put me back together but then two years after that he didn't like the way it had shifted again. SOOOOO.....braces and jaw surgery again.

That's not likely to happen to you!

I know lots of adults in professional positions who have worn braces. It's not such a weird thing at all. You'll get used to them and not be self concious in no time.

Keep up the good work, Ms StellaBlue. You're inspiring a lot of people with your exuberance and joy. You're doing great!

JUST DON'T SMOKE and you'll realize your goals. I promise.
