Hi Rosie and thanks for posting! Were you struggling while you were on Chantix or just since you've been off of it? Congrats on two months! Hold on because not only does it get easier, it also gets easy and then all conflict will go away. :)

I found some errors with our tickers and am just waiting on a new file with the fix.

No approval needed to comment on blogs from an admin standpoint but everyone who has a blog has the option to approve all comments regarding their blog. :)

I hope that everyone who is wondering what life will be like without cigarettes reads this.

Glad he's back home! :)

Happy Birthday!

Still more changes need to be made so I temporarily took it down.

If it makes you feel good, wear it. If it's comfortable, wear it. That's why I wear 20 year old flannel shirts and socks with my flip flops. Just don't care if people are jealous of my threads. :)

Fixes have been and I'll upload the new file this evening. Thanks for testing the tickers reporting the issues and being patient. :)

Say it once, okay, perhaps, but say it again much less over and over and it's sexual harassment. There are a lot of creeps out there and for a man to "fixate" like that sends a message to lucid folks like us that his lascivious intentions could be potentially dangerous to women. Stay away from the cretin.

Probably just how we imagine it. lol

It's like a bomb ticking and you have no idea when it's set to explode.

That was the exact reason that I started. Wanted to look tough and older than I was. Little MQ didn't realize that he was going to be smoking on/off for the following 28+ years. I knew they weren't good for me but I thought I was invincible and I guess to a point, a young punk is but when you get older everything catches up with you, especially smoking. If any lurkers are reading this, please do yourself a favor and quit now. Don't put it off because sometimes a year goes by before you actually make the commitment to quit. A lot can happen in year. Look at my ticker and all those cigarettes I would have smoked in the last year. I wonder what the tar from just 11,000 cigarettes looks like smeared all over your lungs not to mention decades worth. Quit now and let those lungs start the cleansing process. They'll reward you by giving you more oxygen than you've probably had in a long, long time. :)

There are still a few little bugs to be worked out like one date I know isn't working correctly, but it will all get fixes within the next day or two. The images will be saved as png instead of bmp too. A few little bumps but it's up and working. :)

Once people realize that quitting smoking actually makes you feel better, the more likely they would toss the smokes for good.

I had a nasty virus several years ago that lasted 10 days. I had a fever the entire time and went to the doctor after about 5 days and he said after 10 days it should go away and on the 11th day, I was well again. If my child was sick for over a week like that I would take him/her to another doctor and get a second opinion and see if blood work etc. was needed.

NOPE!

Joel's Halloween Fearfest https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IPynhryM2RY Halloween is a holiday where people try to scare themselves. It is a perfect holiday to address irrational fears people have regarding quitting as well as the frightening realities faced by people who smoke and do not quit. For those looking for blood and guts, some of the videos linked below will meet those needs too. What is really scary is that all of the stories and pictures related in those videos are real. Scaring yourself to death is really pretty hard to do. Smoking yourself to death isn't. Don't use fear to trick yourself into not quitting--treat yourself to a healthier and happier life by making and sticking to a personal commitment to never take another puff.

These two aren't going to stay apart. I bet we hear some big announcement or something after the 1st of the year. :) Safe travels Tracey and keep your mind busy Rez.

NOPE!

That is horrible! Take care of yourself. How did you get it?

Best show on TV.

Makes me wonder what's up. There's a reason why they ended the episode with that...
