Immerse yourself into your quit. Not only will you break free from junkie thinking and a deadly addiction, you'll learn so much about yourself, others and truly create a life to live. Take the deep dive and see what you can find. Keep the Quit, Dave

Yay ~ one whole month down! Big congratulations Deb! How nice that your skin appreciates your efforts and is rewarding you from the inside. Do you have any other yummy rewards lined up for yourself??? I hope so. Hope you feel better soon too : )

You are smart to start weight watchers now- I did not do that smart thing and topped out 25 lbs heavier in 6 mos! Yikes! But I'm down 5 lbs now, exercising daily and have my energy back finally! So all's good in smokeless land : ) I understand the difference in your motivation to quit this time Deb; Good for you : ) Eyja

One Month Deb ! Congrats ! WOOHOO !

It's funny but the thing most commented to me on my quit was that my skin looked so much better. Something I never gave a thought to. (unlike you Deb I won't be winning any beauty contests!) there are so many unexpected benifits to stopping smoking but I digress - again Congrats on the month and I can tell from your tone it is getting easier. N.O.P.E.

Hi! I'm here to celebrate my month smoke free with everyone!

I still need to go in for that x-ray. I never did go on Friday because I was too tired to drive the 45 minutes to town. So I need to do that because things still hurt.

But I'm not smoking!!!! My skin looks really wonderful if I do say so myself :) Other people have commented on the glow too. So that's nice. I'm gaining weight though! I started weight watchers yesterday so things don't get too out of control. The main focus though is just not smoking no matter what.

Vincenza-- thanks! The thing that (sadly) helped the most is seeing my dad so sick. He's doing okay right now-- stabilized, but I will never ever forget spending the night in the hospital with him and listening to him struggle for each breath. That had a tremendous impact on me. I walked out of that hospital, took a deep breath, and said to myself, 'That's it for me.' It wasn't even a difficult decision and it still isn't.

I decided that I kinda like the whole breathing thing, and that I was personally responsible for creating a situation where I was poisoning myself, and my lungs. The sounds I heard at the hospital were terrifying and so distressing. So I guess I got scared straight.

Thank Gert, Ejya, and Wills :) I appreciate your support sooooooooooo much.

Good Morning : ) Hope the xray uncovered what is bothering that right side under your rib cage. Also great to hear that the other test results came back fine! Good for you for keeping your Quit regardless of the pain and especially for making it through the zombie doldrums! I swore there was something seriously wrong with me too when Icouldn't seem to stay awake (day after day). But it was just my body getting what it needed after the false high of nicotine got purged. It does get better,energy does return and when it does; you will be smoke free and proud of it! Good on ya Deb!

N.O.P.E. !
