Hi Maya.....so glad you checked in. I've thought of you a few times since your last visit. Smoking has such profound consequences and the details of your experience had an impact on many people......so, thanks for sharing. I know that cancer had a devastating effect on your life. I do hope that those awful times are replaced with happy and wonderful things moving forward.

The new tickers are looking good. Thanks MarylandQuitter and company.

Congrats Jane...10 months is a biggie!

Congratulations Beazel! Celebrate your BIG day!

Great hike today. 4000’ elevation....over 15 miles.

NOPE Wondering if CbDave's avatar is a white frosting bikini top on a French baguette?

I think this would be equally valid if we changed some words: Do not, under any circumstances, allow your government corporations and lobbyists to disproportionately influence laws that will kill or harm you. Think: thalidomide, DDT, lead paint, seat belts, Ford Pinto, subprime mortgage backed securities, Roundup herbicide, child labor, and yes, cigarettes. Just as we shouldn't give government all the power to regulate our lives, nor should we let the corporations. They have a pretty dismal track record when it comes to public safety versus the almighty buck.

Congratulations...2 months is dance-worthy

It's the early, trying times of one's quit that shines the spotlight on just how strong and menacing this addiction is. You're right to want to etch these days in your memory. They'll make the emergence to freedom more meaningful. Keep strong Steve. Before you can break out of prison, you must realize you are locked up.

Congratulations Boo. 2 years is kind of a big deal.

Nope....the mere thought of smoking is laughable.

Nope. I like freedom.

2 months means it’s real. You’ve put up a battle to get here.....now there’s only forward. To freedom and happiness. Congratulations!

My hat’s off to anyone who can get through the physical and psychological crap of the early period of quitting. You’re doing it though. And as long as you see the deception for what it is, there’s nothing to prevent you from coming out victorious. Well done Steve.

I have never tried cottage cheese. And I never will.

Hmmph! Spending all our money while I'm hard at work at the Babalu Club! 00

Congratulations!

He shoots from outside the arc. It hits the rim and bounces out. Moral to the story: You can miss the three and still win the game. Congrats Jordan!

Hey Jordan. Welcome and belated congrats on your 3 year anniversary. We'll have to have a really big party for #4 to make up for it.

Congratulations Mollie.
