First day

That's one way to keep quit -- to think about drastic things to come. another way is to think about the positive benefits to come - better health, more wealth, whiter smile, fresher breath, and on and on. The best way though is to work the program tools over on the left. Make a list of your reasons for quitting. Determine how you're going to cope with cravings for a few days. Think about how you will reward yourself with all the money you're saving. Good luck!

The Daily Diet Watch IV

HAHAHAHAHA! I will NOT stop at Krispy Kreme on my way home! I will NOT stop at Krispy Kreme on my way home! I will NOT stop at Krispy Kreme on my way home! Actually I like the car running over bit. Somebody opened the last box of Thin Mints here at work and I keep walking by them and taking one out. When I leave, I'm going to take them out and run over them in the parking lot!!! Thanks, Lady!

TO ALL

Hi Tuffy, one way not to smoke is not to have any cigarettes around. As long as you don't put one in your mouth and light it, you are not smoking. Yes, it's hard. No one here will deny that. But it is doable, as long as you want it bad enough. Good luck!

Rather Disappointing Weekend Guys! :(

Patty, Joe knew when he wrote that that I would be disagreeing with him. :) I just don't believe that it's a good idea to "lay down the law" on your husband. After all, you smoked in the house up until the time you decided to quit. If you suddenly create new rules, without discussion or compromise, you're likely to force him into a defensive position and he'll never quit. I'm with Josie on this one. In the meantime, grouch here as much as you want. He'll quit when the time is right for him.

Rather Disappointing Weekend Guys! :(

Seems to me if Pam's family has a designated smoke room, they have worked out the issue. Family strife isn't good for children; neither is divorce. Everything needs to be worked out with reason and compromise, not with someone establishing a rule with no input from anyone else. Rusty

How much are you worth? Are you worth more than a pack of cigarettes? Are you worth more than the addiction to them? I agree with Joe -- if you aren't committed to your quit, over and above what your husband or anyone else does, you might as well just give it up. You are allowing your husband's addiction to define who you are. What if he was a crack addict? Would you decide you have to smoke crack, too? There are many of us who have quit and our spouses haven't. Be strong!

I'm here, Duffis. Hope all is well with you and the missus. Looks like spring is arriving here in North Florida, so I'm sure it will be showing up there pretty soon. :) Rusty :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 12/13/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 441 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 12,357 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1543.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 60 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 5
