Nancy

Only three left!!!!

So sorry, dear Jimmy!

Congratulations to you and your bride, Stu! Seven months is fabulous!!!

no smoking for me!!

Oh, Sharon, I am so very sorry to read this...when you thought he was doing well! Prayers going up!

1. I get to stay at table when we go out with friends or family 2. My car, hair, clothes do not stink 3. My dentist is delighted 4. Lots more time and energy to get things done!

I am so grateful you made the right decision, dear friend!

I would also like to say mine was something noble, but the truth is, I was sick and tired of the hassle. I went outside at home and work to smoke(hot, cold, wet, whatever, I went). You can't smoke in any public places, so again, outside with me, missing conversations with friends and family. Disparaging glances from others as they pass by. Worrying about how long a meeting or flight would be so I could get my fix. The thing that pushed me over the edge was that I got a brand new car. I hadn't had a new car in 12 years. It is so beautiful, and I just didn't want to stink it up or burn holes in it. So, one more place not to smoke! That was when I decided to hell with it, I'm quitting!

Sharon, I am exactly opposite. I never changed...I was afraid if I gave up my wine at the same time, I would feel too deprived, and would smoke!

It sounds very nice, except for the aggravation of torn tights and stockings! That could get expensive very quickly!!

So very sorry about your mother in law. You are doing great, and as others have commented, having a plan is key. Have a wonderful time and you can tell us about your victory on Sunday!!

Welcome, Gio! So glad you found us. There is a lot of wonderful information here about quitting. More importantly, though, there are a lot of people who have been exactly where you are now...and who are anxious to help. Welcome aboard, and congratulations on your decision to quit!

Wow, Vic!! One month is such an important milestone! You are doing so well, and are a great addition to this board!

Tom, one month is a huge accomplishment! This is the best gift you will ever give yourself and your family!!

Lovely post,Tracey, and I agree 100%!

Oh, go ahead and crush a grape! (not familiar with that expression, but why not?) That is wonderful news and it is fun to see you so excited!

Oh, Comrade! So sorry you went through that...so relieved to hear you are okay! Take care of yourself!

Fabulous, Aine! Six months is a huge accomplishment!! I remember your first post very well...you have come such a long way! I hope you and Comrade have something very special planned to celebrate!

NOPE!

The first Fall 2013 Quitter will be in the House!

So happy for you! Seven months is great! Auntie Nancy and Doreen need new pictures!!

You didn't need to yell at me... :(
