Yes, Thursday is happy. And six weeks feels great! Banana, I've been having similar dreams. Are you on Chantix? Is that part of it, ya think? How's that gym, Jean? Still sending positive thoughts your way, Lou! --Shakes [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 42 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 840 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $378.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 7 [B]Mins:[/B] 49 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

Killing The Grizzly Again

Hey Man, I know the feeling...as do most of the folks around here. Nicotine IS a Grizzly! But I can attest, as can many, many others, that it is so possible and it is oh so worth it to put it down and never again pick it up. Take a look at some of the stats people here have on their quit meters, read some of the posts/conversations. They inspired me when I was quitting smoking. Also, the quit program to your left is invaluable. If you haven't done that, seriously: check it out. But the first question it asks...and that you should ask yourself: "Is your desire to quit stronger than your desire to use tobacco?" If it's to quit, you can do this!! It won't be easy, and maybe you should get your three-year-old a helmut ;p BUT YOU CAN DO IT!!! --Shakes [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 43 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 860 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $387.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 20 [B]Seconds:[/B] 45

Killing The Grizzly Again

Oh, and at the risk of total obvious-ness: Check out the "Chewers & Dippers Corner". 8 days is impressive; keep it up! --Shakes [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]4/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 43 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 860 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $387.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 23 [B]Seconds:[/B] 10

April Ashkickers 2

Just got home from a long walk. Went to the Zoo, went all around. I'm loving the warmth!!! Laughing, I love the cartoon from your kid! And congrats! You're almost at one-month! I found out I've got a big challenge coming up. In two weeks, I'm gonna see my parents for a weekend. They both smoke a lot. And are a huge trigger for me. I had gone a little over a week without a cigarette when I went home to Oklahoma to see them for Christmas and didn't last one day there. Granted, I wasn't taking Chantix then, and I didn't have any kind of support system like I do now. But I know this is still going to be a big weekend in my quit. I won't have internet access to check in with you guys, either; I'm meeting them in St. Louis (I live in Chicago). I know I can and WILL get through it Smoke-Free and when I do I will feel so good...so empowered! But I wanted to share/vent. And get as much support about it as possible before I go. I'm doing everything I know of to prepare. Donning my armor, if you will. Like: my mom mentioned me sharing a room with them at the hotel to save money. I said "no way!" I need a safe place to go to. I need to sleep in a room without billows of smoke all around me. Loose and available cigarettes sitting out?! Can you imagine?! It would be hell! I'd be freaking out!! I told her all of that and I think she gets it. I'll have my own room. She actually said that she's going to talk to my step-dad about trying to quit that weekend. We'll see about that, but a cool thought! Anyway, hope you all are doing well. I'm off in a few to do a show.
