Thank you Fagashlynne and Misty! How wonderful to feel supported! Misty, if I can do it, you can be a non-smoker, too. Fagashlynne, you've done really well, you're into your 3rd month being free already. Congratulations! Happy new year, and here's to a smoke-free 2007.
I've never done this before so not sure what to say. I, too, am quitting cigarettes on 1/1. Feeling typically apprehensive. Have quit many times in 36 years, with the longest quit lasting only 7 months. I've just finished Chopra's book on addiction and have come away with some new insight into smoking, but not too much as I'd hoped. I am hopeful that all of you reading this will be successful in quitting the addiction, and myself as well. I hope to write again when the withdrawal symptoms begin getting to me, both physically and emotionally. It's a wonderful thought that maybe through our writings we can find a communal strength to fight this.
Wow,it is so great to know that I am not the only one that is going to quit! We shall kick this habit together! My poor husband and cats will have to put up with my foul moods but it will pass! Who knows,I might surprise myself and be a real angel NOT! Later

Hello Sparky and all you folks out there! This is my last day of being a slave, and I am smoking every chance I have. I want to really feel the difference when I no longer am killing my lungs. The reason I have failed in the past is because I did it all on my own. This time it is different-WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER! On my way to work, touch base with ya all later-Misty

How are we gonna tell our two Sparkies apart?
I propose that Sparky #1 since you quit already, it is your responsibility to maintain your quit so that we can see that your quit meter is more advanced.
In the event that Sparky #1 slips (which will not happen), then Sparky #2 it is your responsibility to maintain the more advanced quit meter.
Does our new Sparky know how to show the meter yet? it took me a while to learn this.
I'm just kidding about all this. I wouldn't mind having 200 Sparkies on the site if it meant that 200 more people would be quitting smoking. Welcome Sparky.

Hi Sparky :)
Welcome to the Stop Smoking Center forum. There are many friendly quitters here and it's a good place to be when you start thinking about smoking.
It's also a big help if you plan to spend some time here daily to read old posts and to welcome and share your experiences with others just starting out. It might be surprising to you, but doing a simple thing like this really helps reinforce your determination to stick to the quit.
Best wishes for a successful quit and a Happy New Year!
