Hi all

I stoped on Jan.1. I have had a few set backs but am still calling it guits. So far so good. Good luck to us all

Just wanted to say I gave them up Jan 1, with the help of CHantix, really works,can't sleep to good at night, but if i can quit then it's worth a few zzz's. House , car, clothes starting to smell better, alittle more cingle in the pocket and with God's help going to make it this time. Quit so many times only to fail, had a dear Aunt die recently for lung cancer, that had never smoked a day in her life. Scarey!  I Got to think about my grands about.Second had smoking is harmful. Pray for  me and I will pray for you all, we can do it.

Day THREE cold turkey.. sometimes I think im going to involuntarily get up and walk outside and smoke a cigarette, so strong is the urge to smoke. So far, im saved my not wanting the feeling of self shame that goes along with that first cigarette in days.. having to re-start my day count.. and knowing my breath, no matter how much mouth wash i use will smell horribly tomorrow morning, and my heart will feel like ive just run a mile.

Im afraid of whats going to happen on my birthday in a few days. Will I be able to drink with dinner and not smoke? Ive done ok today fighting the urge to steal a friend's cigarette. I know that will destroy my will power. I gotta stay strong.. i DO NOT want to smoke anymore! I want to be healthy!!

cancer has gone to my brain. had tumor removed last wed and got out of the hospital yesterday. it is so nice to hear from all. i had no computer.

over one month down. wow.

I'm a little better on my left side movement today. The tumor was on the right. Home health care coming, so I think they will give me some exercises to help. It's very frustrating having the fine motor skills not do what you ask in your head.

Thank God I'm doing a NOPE NOPE NOPE. I don't think I could manuever a lighter right now.

Deedee, I know the new exercises will help. Hang in there, you are STRONG!

Well, NYExers, we've almost made it to another special celebration day - Valentine's Day. I just finished helping my son fill out valentines for his whole Kindergarten class. Hubby and I have reservations Saturday night at the lovely little restaurant where we got engaged on V-Day last year (and it's within city limits, so no one will be smoking!).

Celebrating is my worst trigger. I will feel panicky at first and reluctant to have a good time, but I can do this. I AM ALREADY doing this. 42 days, can I get a witness?!

hi shelise:

i hope you have a wonderful celebration tonight. get a special sweet treat. my husband brought me roses and cleaned the kitchen spotless. it was a wonderful gift with me being so sick.

44 days of clean air in my chest. i definitely witness.
