Calling The Knights of the Round Table ...

Hi Collean, many congratulations on your over-100-days, i can't wait to have impressive stats like that. I'm not a knight but i was hoping you could give me some info regarding the milesones to watch out for. I hear about a cruise, the beach and the hotel, when do they happen? Also a few years back i managed to quit until i hit 3 months and then it all went pete tong, so do i have to watch out for 100 days as well? Thanks for any illumination you can give me [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 904 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �150 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 51 [B]Seconds:[/B] 37

Random thoughts for new folks, or old I suppose. Long Post!

Really great post, Bingo, and especially the bit about not only keeping the quit but also loosing 7lbs!!! I need to do the same, have piled on the weight since I quit but i thought i'd leave a diet till later and just concentrate on the quit or am i being really soft with myself?

Where are the May quitters?

Lilly reporting in, still going strong, which I have to say is a bloody miracle! Lets all get ready to leave the Cafe and head on to the Cruise... :) (Can't you tell I've just figured out how to do the smiley faces, goodness knows where you all get your spectacular graphics from, let alone find the time to fiddle around doing it!)

You dirty rat!

Hope you're heading for smoother waters soon Mr Ed, but either way you'll know you can do it without smoking. I used to think that I wouldn't be able to sustain my concentration if I wasn't smoking, but it was actually the need for the next nicotine fix which broke my concentration. I've found my concentration, especially at work, has actually improved since I quit because I'm not fretting about getting the next cigarette.... I would not have believed that when I was still smoking. Horizon BBC2 9PM tomorrow (thursday), "A scientific analysis of the perverse and persistent appeal of smoking" do you think it's worth watching? Allen Carr is one of the contributors. Lilly, PS I used to keep pet mice before the kids came along, they were beautiful, I shouldn't worry about a little rat.

Just loved the lady, Cobenfan, and some might say that she bears an uncanny resemblance to me...how did you know??? Early congratulations to you for reaching the beach, major achievement...that is definately my favourite milestone, I can't wait. See you briefly on the cruise, Lilly. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/11/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 48 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,464 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �240 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 25

50 to 99 Cruise Ship Departing for the Century Beach!

Thank you for the great welcome, Eve C.A.R.E. and Cuddles. I've got to say I'm a little amazed and proud that I've made it this far and this site and all of the support it gives is definately a large part of the reason why. Sigh of relief and I'm gonna try and relax a bit now. Thanks again.
