Famous Qoutes from Famous Quitters

This wisdom is brought to you by a talking horse no less! [i]It's not about last week It's not about this week .. or next week It's about the rest of your life. It will get better. Prepare for the worst to experience the best! [/i] I think the previous quote about being an ex-smoker occasionally thinking of smoking goes further back into the SSC archives and may originally from Lizzie (?)

One more that I did not see, Anna, and it was one that I read the first day I joined this wonderful group. I am so sorry, I do not know who wrote it, so forgive me for not giving credit where credit is due, but this statement has been printed and hanging on my computer for the last two weeks. Whoever wrote this, know how much you have helped me during hell and heck week: "I would rather be an ex smoker occasionally thinking of smoking, than a smoker constantly thinking of quitting."

I like these quotes. "This life is a gift. We would do well to stop shaking it and fiddling with the wrapping paper and just open it up." "Sometimes lighthouses shut down for repair. Sometimes they need a rest. But they're always lighthouses, placed in areas to help others find their paths. Even when the lighthouse is dark, it knows what its purpose is." - Unknown [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]2/3/2008 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 0 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 0 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $0.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 2 [B]Mins:[/B] 10 [B]Seconds:[/B] 17

[quote]All of us quit in our own way. The beginning is all fire and smoke, but eventually the intensity of the experience diminishes and you will be engulfed in a protective cloud of pride.

From Lizzie, paraphrasing Allen Carr, the pleasure we get from lighting a cigarette is just like wearing really tight shoes all day, and then taking them off. It's just getting rid of the aggravation - and that aggravation was caused by you in the first place by smoking/wearing tight shoes. [quote] It reminded me that cravings are caused by smoking, and not by quitting.

We're stronger than the junkie inside of us - let's prove it! -Kristilu Smoking to relax is like drinking coffee in order to sleep. It really doesn't make any sense. -John in NC You can do this, you will do this & it will be so worth it. -Unhooked Let's stay where it feels good to be us. -Penguin I now have a 5 1/2 yr quit not smoking one day at a time. -Duffis Make the decision to quit and your body will love you for it. -Freedom26 It is supposed to get down to 7 to 10 below tonight. Who in their right mind would want to go out and smoke? -Sparky Repeat after me, SHUT UP JUNKIES EAT DIRT AND DIE JUNKIES!! -GRIN318 I don't want to waste any money on cigarettes, no matter how cheap i can get them. -Tubbies [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]1/8/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 375 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,625 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1,575.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 35 [B]Hrs:[/B] 16 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 35
