So what do you get if you plant a pack of smokes? A burning bush? LOL... Anyways, Chris, I just love it that you love your quit so much...I do too mind you...but you are just so verbal about it! I get a big kick out of it...It really makes my day! Keep up the Great Work! NOPE! Amy :p

Thanks you guys !! See I told you this is a nice place. Getting online to come here is something I look forward to instead of smoking. I seem to one of those people who always needs somehting to look forward to. If I have something going on.. I feel good. But I tell you.. after my little boy is asleep (9:00), just hanging out watching TV is something to look forward too. Now, I don't have to get up and run out to smoke during a movie.. I can relax and not be bothered. Hang Tuff.. glad you all are here. Knight Christine at your service.

Josie, I was going to sign up but that damn age limit thing !! Not that I couldn't pass for 29 or anything.. but I'm sure they ask for documentation if you win.. hehehe.. I'd better keep practicing on my kids though.. they love my voice so much... :eg: 11th.. My kids have yet to discover that my new found voice also carries small amounts of truth serum.. (I'm going to find out what happened to my calculator yet and when I do there will be hell to pay !!) :8o: Hang Tuff !

Hey guys... To add to the louder voice, I noticed tonight when I was reading to my 5 year old that I could finish sentences without getting winded. I used to have to read part of a long sentence and point to something on the page (take a breath) and continue. Tonight I was just reading away.. The last few years, I had really began to feel the difference in my breathing and how easily I was getting winded. I swear it is as if something has opened up my airways and I can breath for the first time in many years. It feels like a miracle .. and I really am thankful that my breathing is returning to normal.. (I was afraid it might not.. you know that fear that you have just waited too long to quit ?) I joke around a lot but, the truth is I am just so happy to get another chance at being healthy.. and put away the guilt of smoking (my youngest son has COPD)even near the same place as my son. What is there not to be happy about.. ??? I just thank God and thank you all for being here.. Couldn't have done it without you.. I truly believe that. Hang Tuff Guys.. we are going to lick this yet !

Cut off their allowance so they can't afford any more cigs. And ask the corner store owner to stop selling cigs to your kids. :p [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/29/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 16 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 203 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $48 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 15 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

And I have noticed that the yelling doesn't get interrupted by this horrible cough anymore. I guess the kiddos just got to learn how to deal with our newfound "powers." :eg: Gaby [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/17/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 28 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 570 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $217 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 19 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Sorry....hate to spoil your joy, but your kids are planting packs of cigarettes everywhere. Not sure that I see the funny side of that. Brent
