Bump for Jules...

Welcome to the board, Jules....so glad you found us. Our motto here is Not One Puff Ever. The addiction is trying to suck you back in...be strong and get through it. One puff reactivates the addiction. Another expression is "one puff away from a pack a day", which is so true. If you have one puff, you will not have 28 days and you will have to start over. I am going to comment on a thread in Quit Smoking discussions, that will cause it to come to the top of the forum....please read. You can do this...read the material at the top of the Quit Smoking Discussions Forum, lots of great information. We are cheering for you...and we have all been where you are now!!

So glad to hear it is going well..and congratulations on eight months!!

Laura, sorry you made the decision to smoke. The only thing to do now is learn from your mistakes and start over. You can do this!

So glad you decided to post, Wendy! Welcome! Every quit is different, so we can't predict if there are more difficult days ahead. What I do know is that you said you are worried about screwing this up....there is only ONE way to screw it up, and that is to put something in your mouth and set it on fire. That gives you a whole lot of things you can do which are not screwing it up....eat, laugh, cry, scream, exercise, rant, rave, sleep, long showers...anything that is not immoral or illegal. You can do this!!

Oh, Tracey, I am so very happy for you! You are such a wonderful part of this board...so glad we are sharing this journey. Hope you and Rez have a great celebration planned!

No smoking for me!!

I am signing Doreen and I up for a Skype class...

So lovely!!

You have worked so hard...you are a true inspiration!

I am kinda thinking an intervention might be in order.....just kidding!

Welcome, Beth!! So glad you are here!!

So I have been meaning to ask...you belong to two gyms now? You have probably explained and I missed...why two?

Here is the recipe...I double it so I will have several meals to freeze, and instead of using all the same beans, I get four different kinds...so easy and really good... Taco Soup 1 pound lean ground beef 1 small onion, chopped 2 cans Rotel (chopped green chilies and tomatoes) 1 ½ cups water 2 15 oz. cans kidney beans 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce 1 pkg. taco seasoning mix 1 pkg. dry ranch dressing mix 1 can mexicorn Shredded cheese,optional Sour cream.optional Tortilla chips, optional Brown meat with onions. Drain. Add remaining ingredients and simmer about 15 minutes. Serve with optional ingredients.

I think this is a great idea! Thanks, Beth and MQ!
