Angelcapp, Congratulations on 50 days! Aren't you happy your children see you as a non-smoker now! What a great example to set. Danielle ______________________ The SSC Support Team

Angelcapp, I gotta tell ya this - I have three kids and this is my take. After the first couple of weeks, they think you are NEVER going to smoke again. They do not understand addiction, to them, it's just like eating cupcakes anymore and it's not a big deal. I would focus on the positive - let them know how great you feel and explain to them why they should not EVER smoke cigarettes. Everyone needs to talk to their children about NOT smoking. Great job on your 50 days, looking good. I am sure the kids tell ya how great you are smellin ~ CobenFan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/25/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 391 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,828 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1368.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 37 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 36 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

I wanted to see my kids reaction if I told them I was smoking again. So last night I told them that I bought a pack of smokes. They both laughed at me and said "yeah right"! Guess they know I am serious this time! All my other times they said "yeah right" to my telling them I was going to quit. The tables have turned and I like the way it turned. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/1/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 50 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,259 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $250 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 5 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 6 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54
