Well when life throws us curve balls sometimes we gotta duck and dodge it, or take a run at the pitcher! You gotta do what you gotta do! Enjoy whatever endeavor and wherever life is taking you! Thank you for all the help you have given me! :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 107 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,675 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,128.85 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 3 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 32

Pat, Thanks for sharing with us. Boy, life is messy but smoking just makes it messier. You have a commendable attitude and you have given yourself the gift of over two weeks of your life back. Great job!

I don't want you to go anywhere....I will certainly miss your wise words of wisdom. Not to mention your positive attitude. I am so grateful that you quit around the same time that I did, I knew I could look forward to reading what you had to say! I wish you well, please stop in for a parade every now and then. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/8/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 161 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,415 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $676.20 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 14 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44

Pat Thanks for that post. You have gone through a lot and seems like you are not just handling what's thrown at you, but are actively making choices for a better life, beginning with stopping smoking. I sometimes think about how when we make a decision for change, we are given what I call "opportunities" to test that resolve. Once we successfully navigate those, we no longer are faced with the same challenges. I wish you all the best in your life and please check in with us. I will miss your posts. -aloha [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]3/22/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 88 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,520 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $598.40 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 12 [B]Hrs:[/B] 8 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Thank you so much for that, Pat. Handling difficult life situations as non-smokers is a big hurdle for us all, I think. I have lost many quits because of stress, pain and sadness. Smoking never changed any of it and this quit, I deliberatley think back on those times and make myself re-live them in my mind without the smoking. It sounds masochistic but I believe it will help me be ready for the next curve ball. Pat, your calm, grounded, common-sense posts have helped me a lot and set an excellent example. Thank you again for that and I hope you'll come back to check in now & then. All the best on your journey.
