No one quits "smoking", you break an "addiction"

The French have just announced that they intend to ban smoking in public buildings and restaurants starting in January....Yipee!!!They say there will be no exceptions...BUT...being French...it is thought that discos,rural bar/tabacs and maybe casinos will be exempt for aanother 2 years. C'est la Vie! At least normal everyday life will be more smoke-free.

Amazing who you meet...

Hi All, I said to Joe I was jealous at his ability to post photo's etc. I manage to log on but much else is beyonbd my capabilities! Your responses made me cry...I so wish I could have met so many more of my friends from here. Gonnadoit....you are so right, the humanizing of our quits does help many folk. It helped me when I saw others meet when I first quit. Today, I travel to meet some more cyber friends from the start of my quit...this is my 2 year reward, albeit a tad early!!! I found this experience so amazing. I felt that I had known both UFO and Golferman forever. I was soooo nervous beforehand, and root beer was NOT quite the calming drink I had envisioned! You know we Europeans drink more than you guys anyway, but I had a glass of wine later to celebrate. Thank you both for agreeing to meet up, it was an experience never to be forgotten. Do hang in there all you new quitters...as we keep saying it DOES get so much better. YEAH FREEDOM!!! NEVER LOOK BACK, THE FUTURE IS AHEAD! Love Lolly. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/25/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 679 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 23,777 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �3395 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 94 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 26 [B]Seconds:[/B] 21

Reality

Each time I come on site to read there are threads like this. I love the diversity of our opinions. Positive attitude was the way for me this quit, and it really helped, but it was no walk in the park! We all do things diferently and take a longer or shorter time to feel comfortable with our quits. It may happen quickly then again, it may not. The thing that matters is that it happens!!! While it is all happening, a bit of tolerance of others methods and opinions goes a very long way to support. In that way, no one is made to feel guilty when they have a bad time. Some people have lower self-esteem than others. For some of the newer quitters....hang in there, as your self-esteem goes up the longer you are quit! WHATEVER IT TAKES, JUST DON'T SMOKE!!! Lolly. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 11/25/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 686 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 24,025 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �3430 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 95 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25
