Sorry to hear about your Mom, Dee. Keeping you and your Mom in my daily prayers.

That's horrible! Chipotle has really tanked. In VA last month had had many instances of food poisoning.

Welcome aboard, Jack! Bend as many ears as you'd like, it's why we're here. For now, what are your three main concerns now after you've been quit one week?

Happy 4 smoke-free years!!!

Congratulations, Doreen!!!

F NOPE!!

NOPE!

You're definitely not getting any younger. :read:

Still about 3 months away but I'm all for early celebrations! :)

What's telling is when a new quitter comes and goes quickly because most haven't gotten to the point to understand that they're addicted to a drug - they're drug addicts and don't treat quitting smoking as such. Many feel as if they're giving something up that they enjoy and or something that helps them cope with stress, none of which is true. Then perhaps there are those who come and go just as quickly yet have maintained solid quits. :)

That's great about your bp and I love your positive attitude and your ability to understand how much worse things would/could be had you not quit smoking. Imagine 15 years from now had you not quit! That goes for all of us! Yikes! Congrats!! :)

NOPE!

Adding my 47,371 cigarettes and misc. cigars not smoked.

NOPE!

Congrats on your week free of nicotine! Vaping with or without nicotine is playing with fire. Are you sure your 0 mg juice (or whatever it's called) is actually nicotine-free? Even so I maintain, it's one step removed from smoking a cigarette. Good luck with keeping a forever quit because you're puffing and it's just a matter of time before you get a hold of some "juice" that has nicotine and you could be back to a full-fledged nicotine addiction. Is it worth it? Is Your Nicotine-Free Electronic Cigarette Actually Nicotine Free? Recent studies show that some electronic cigarette fluids being marketed as nicotine free actually contain nicotine. Video discusses the real danger for any former smoker who tries one of these products. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kq-UH7-Ed0&feature=youtu.be Link to articles about these studies: -E-cigarette nicotine labels not always accurate https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases... -'Nicotine-Free' E-Cigs Still Deliver the Juice https://www.medpagetoday.com/pulmonolo...

You bet, Doreen! :good3:

Awesome!!!! 10 days is an incredible accomplishment! Yard sales; sounds like the perfect distraction. :)
