    Wow, you are doing so fantastic! Having someone in the house with you and smoking must make it so much harder. I am inspired by you everyday!

    G-d through a couple of new curveballs yesterday that would have met a 2 pack binge by now. I have the faith and strength because of all of you to know that having that one cigarette will be the end. It is going well enough that I grab for gum instead of thinking about ciggs.

    So Day 10. Double digits. Got 100 bucks in the jar instead od my lungs!

    Drowned Out Day 2 and counting.

    Thanks to everyone for the great words. They help so much!

    Congrats! Keep going. I can't wait to say I haven't had a cig in a year.

    It only gets easier. There are still some times where I think about smoking, but I know I am not going to actually smoke so the thought goes out of my mind very quickly.

    Keep up the good work.

    Wow it adds up quick ... I see a trip in your future (or you could buy PIE ;))

    If we took a HOLIDAY
    Took some time to CELEBRATE
    Just one day out of life
    It would be, it would be so nice :D

    ...and yes I did just quote Madonna :p
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    You could spend it all on pies but I'm guessing Mrs BD would prefer you saving for a trip ... or more Madonna tickets ... I believe she's currently touring ;)

    So any of the others who are quitting making plans for their savings?

    Once for Mr. BD is enough.

    So this day has been harder than I thought. Went on a client lunch and one of them was a smoker. Kept excusing themselves. We had some drinks too. Kept smelling the smoke when they came back. i will admit it did not smell nauseating this time. A little nervous but got through it. Drinking, lunch and smokers not a good combo.

    drinking is tough, but it just one more challenge that you will meet.

    Good Morning Everyone :) !!


    Just want to say congrats to BD for not falling into temptation. I know that must have been very hard.

    lol
    Hey,

    Good Morning Hartamh and everyone,

    I Can't believe that you are given me credit for yesterday when you have been around smoking all week. We all bow down to you! You should be sky high. Well lesson learned that I have to acknowledge that not everyone in the world has not stopped smoking and you are going to have moments like yeserdat a lot. For example, we have a 40th Birthday party for some good friends coming up in 9 days. EVERYONE will be smoking. The wife will be there but that is going to be interesting. My initial thought was to not go but I am always going to come across some situation like this often so no reasom not to confront this head-on. A little amuzing as this couple quit together for 2 years and were always giving me crap that I was weak. I am not the kind of person to throw anything in someone's face so I will just keep my mouth shut from saying anything and cigs. They will certainly notice.

    It has been intersting, besides here I have no desire to talk about not quitting with anyone, even the wife. I feel less said the better. You all have been great in allowing me to vent here. I find it easier to talk to those trying with me.

    Anyway another lesson learned is I need to have gum on me at all times now. Without it my mouth is opening to all sorts of junk I would never eat. I gorged yesterday. So gum I need and have. Gained 5 lbs so far. I can live with that, but want to be more careful.

    Anybody else using a different belt loop?

    Good luck to everyone today!

    Just wanted to let you know it. I am kind of humbled at this thread and how well everyone is doing.

    I haven't posted much as I had some suspicious medical things going on, but it's going to be fine. Hope you all didn't think I wasn't still in the game and rooting others on! :)
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    I just want to thank EVERYONE for your support :)

    I'm proud to say I haven't even had the urge to start smoking again :) , and I know it's because of all of you.

    After I've stop smoking for a while, I'm hoping I have the same kind of strength to change other things in my life.

    I would like to congratulate everyone who has stopped ;) I know it's tough, so when your feeling like you want to give in please come to this thread so you can vent or get the support you deserve.


    lol
    12 days!! Holy moly. No urges today. Yesterday was a bear but learned more lessons and put myself in situations that I should not for a while.

    A big gain from not smoking is all the extra time I got. I don't have to sneak out and smoke, no trips away from the kids to sneak one in. Have more time to post!! Like I need that.

    Anyway hope this is an easy weekend for the tryers! As always thanks for the support from the support team. You are the best!
