GOOD JOB SPARKSTER!!

Very proud of you!

Funny how when you try to ignore something, it's everywhere.

Weird, huh?

Happy National Smoke-Free Week!

All the things that other members have said :)

AND...

I am amazed to find that I am now calmer.

Totally unexpected since I thought that I needed cigarettes to calm me down. HA! It was making me nervous and crazy.

I am way more relaxed now.

Also,

I'm not as groggy when I wake up. I don't need as much coffee. That is a real surprise.

There are a lot happy surprises relating to quitting that you never would expect.

Stress and trying to cope

Kelly,

I'm sorry that I didn't see this earlier.

I'll be thinking of you and your little boy and hoping for the best on Monday.

You are a loving and wonderful mom, giving all you've got.

Take care of yourself too so that you can be there for him.

I'm sending you good thoughts and hope everything is ok.

Best,

It's hard to imagine my 4th year begins - I'm on to something!

That is amazing!

You don't have to only count your days... you can count mine too!!

I owe a lot of them to YOU!

You may not remember but one day I was hopping mad about work so I posted. You were the first one to write back that I should go for a walk which I did do and felt way better. Don't know if I would have smoked that day but thanks to you, I'll never find out the answer to that question!!!

Congratulations on a quit well done!

Instant Messenger

Moses- I'm on a Mac and it works for me. It's actually very PC oriented so it took me awhile to get used to it. Windows keep popping up and down and not very user friendly (sorry SSC but it is weird system). Very odd for us Mac folks (if you ask me).

LOLA - Hi there!

here is how you find it...

1. go to the forums page

2. you will see a blue button that says LAUNCH, right below where it says who is signed in and how many guests are browsing.

3. Click on the Launch

On the main page of the Messenger it will list all or any buddies you have selected. You select by clicking "add to buddy list" under a persons avatar (picture). See on the left column <------- big blue square button?

Once you click that for anyone here, you can send them a message. They may not be logged in so then it just goes to the "offline" messages.

I just noodled around with it until I figured it out. Just sort of experiment!

good luck!

Best,

A sure way to lessen the smoking population...

Rofl!

Angie - at first glance I thought it said Brownies and I was trying to figure out why in the world would she be putting brownies on her forehead? Omg, I can't stop laughing! Those wacky Aussies.hahaha Well, now that I've figured out they are white adhesive strips.. that doesn't sound much better.

Has anyone ever saved up all their unsmoked cig money for cosmetic surgery? Just wondering. Last thing I would ever do I'm not beyond a shot of something like Botox. haha, this is so completely out of character for me. I'm one of those "let it happen" kind of people. I even stopped coloring my hair. But more is happening than I bargained for! I catch myself looking at other women over 50 who never smoked and they all look about 10 years younger than me. OUCH! Those smokes can really do a number on the skin.

I did read online that there is no surgery for those vertical lip lines we smoker's get. Of course, it seems to just be the women who get those. You end up looking like a permanent pucker. Ugh.

Note to all you young quitters... quit early, quit young!

You Made It Jay

Jay,

Isn't that the truth?

I used to be able to quit on my own... several times in my life but

this site has taught me how to stay quit.

Keep with the program! Be sure to set up your rewards. Really. It's no bull, you brain needs rewards right now! It needs to build up it's own reward cells. Buy yourself a new cd or something cool with the money you've saved. I bought a new commuter cup at the end of my 30days ( I was already three weeks in when I found this place) and I don't think I'll ever forget that great feeling of being so proud of my acheivement. That commuter cup will go with me to my grave. haha. Seriously... it's like a trophy! Whatever you choose for your reward will always remind you of your success and keep you going!

You are doing great! Heck week will be over soon enough.

Best,
