While you are not entirely gone from the board, you are here less and less. I hope you will stick around at least until your year anniversary. I thought it best that I take this opportunity to say a few words, just in case I forget to nag you to check in ;) A text or email might have worked, but it wouldn't be the same. You have been a tremendous source of strength to me and to all of us here, I am sure. Not only have you been a great friend to me online/offline, but you have helped my quit more than anything else could. The fact that you were always one step behind me in your quit, kept me on my toes. Not to mention, you have a way of uplifting people with your kind words. It's a strange phenomenon, this internet friendship thing, isn't it? You graciously listened to whatever my crisis of the week or day was and always had a kind word and left me feeling uplifted and calm. Anyone else would have put me on ignore lol Anyway, I'll stop while I'm ahead of myself. You deserve a gigantic Congratulations My Friend!

:bye:

NOPE

Evelyn, I think you know that a cigarette will not make you feel better. Once the cigarette is out, you will feel much worse. You will be angry with yourself and you will have to restart the clock. Do not under any circumstances pick up a cigarette. Did you take the pledge today?

Nice message about Karma :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkuKHwetV6Q

19 Good Morning

All the time :)

I stopped trying to figure out how much I've saved by not smoking because my ticker doesn't keep track any longer. I know it's a lot, I smoked a lot. It doesn't even matter if you smoked a pack every other day as opposed to my 2-ish. All that matters is it is yours to save, spend or give away. At least now, I don't feel like I'm setting fire to a pile of money!

5:45 am spin class...Back on MFP as of yesterday to help keep me focused.

Jen do you have a gym at work?

But why?!

15 Hi Betsy!

:)

12 No way José. The times that I previously would have been smoking, I'll be posting numbers. This game needs a little competition anyway. So no worries ;)

Ahem! Either you tell me or I'll figure it out myself ;)

NOPE NOPE

Laura, What Marti said, each time you stare down a trigger, the next time it becomes easier. Just hang on, it's going to get better, I can promise you that.
