Yes, Kelly is going on a month and a half. Self pat on the back, again, again, and again. Good boy:)

I'm sending all these hopless and destitute women to you Bakon so you can sort them out.

Since I quit smoking I have money and a nice home and I am told that I look ten years younger. Great!! Problem is now everyone wants to borrow money, sell me stuff, and bumb cigarettes. Yes, people I have not seen in months are visiting me to borrow cigarettes. I think sometimes that I was better off when I looked poor and destitute:)

I have pics but I forgot how to post them to this forum. I used to know the trick but it's been a few years and I forgot. Maybe the grand Pooh Baah will chime in and remind me how to post pics:)

Now I can drive cross country and bug the crap out of all of you. Look out Bakon, here I come:)

My landlord Kelly is still going strong, about a month now. She was motivated by some of the stuff on whyquit.com

Thanks guys, this is what we are all about, but please understand, she did this on her own, I am just the one who inspired her.

still get cigarette romance cravings from time to time. They are nothing really, just faint reminders of the dumb dumb days. My Landlord Kelly is on day 20 I think, but still not smoking.

Kelly is now at two weeks, Yahoo!

Yes, because I pulled it off and quit, she insisted that I not upstage her LOL. She is on day ten, I sent her to whyquit.com and encouraged her to join this forum. She likes the data on whyquit and is planning to use the money she saves to visit her family in about three months. Yes, she quit because of me, I'm feeling real proud of myself right now. Patting myself on the shoulder, good boy, good boy LOL

Just window lickers LOL But seriously, I have noticed that poor people, on the street, with no money and on food stamps smoke like chimneys. They beg, bumm, borrow and steal cigarettes as well as pick up half smoked butts on the ground. How do I know this? Because I was one of them for almost two years. Frankly, I have no idea why, just that I did it and yes, it is pathetic but millions of people on the street still manage to get their hands on at least a pack a day. I'm not proud of what I did, in fact I beat myself up every day about those days, It takes strength, conviction, and bold ass determination to quit. Hence I am grateful that I could practice what I preach.

Welcome back Criss, just don't bring the Zika virus with you LOL

I am finally back on my feet again financially thanx to quitting smoking. Now I can use the money I'm saving to buy a newer motor home, then go on tour.

I see that my old friends are takin real good care of you. My quit was unique, very difficult, but necessary. Keep close to the train and I'm certain you will pull through just fine.

Nice venting job, good to hear that you have made progress, just keep trying and some day it will just happen. Then in about 6 months into your quit, you will just stop thinking about it altogether. Don't be so hard on yourself, you have made the first step, the right step. We are not just a helpful quit smoking forum but a fun place to chat with other Nic-addicts.

Wish I could help, my motivation is that I do not want to be sleeping on cardboard, on the street. A very powerful force! I had no choice, be a bag man or quit smoking.

Granted the new law won't stop kids from smoking, but if the law saves just ONE kid from this insane habit it was worth it:)

Bakon abusers, where are they, have not seen any lately. And Bakon is still running wild, beware all eggs!

Yes, I'll be the one pulling up in the 12 passenger limousine.

You have to be 21 to buy cigarettes in California. I'm not a big fan of legislation in California but this one is a good one. Kudos California!

Don't laugh, my current motor home is not much better Bakon!

Now ten weeks into my quit I have realized that the next big objective is six months or about four months from now in August. Just seems like an eternity but its cool. I've completely lost my desire to smoke and am looking forward to spending my extra money on a newer motor home at or around Christmas time. Then beware folks, I might actually come out east next spring and visit y'all, my family, and fly to the UK to visit all my friends there, see my first crop circles in person, live the life etc. I have a girlfriend in New York City, have been seeing her off and on for almost two years now. She just left after a one week visit just the other day. Can't wait to see her there and I may just stay there, get married, you know the routine LOL Cheers!

Yes, but not exactly what I did, yet I achieved the same results by cutting out gluten about 95 %. I don't normally eat a lot of processed food as a rule anyway. What I discovered is that I cannot OD on gluten foods or I will not sleep at all that night. In moderation as you say, I can tolerate gluten in small quantities nowadays. I am also convinced that I have had a mild gluten intolerance for most of my life as I think back. I did not smoke cigarettes for fifteen years at one time in my life and had mild symptoms similar to what I have had recently but not nearly as severe. Guess the older I get the less my old body can take LOL.

Don't even think about it any more, in fact I almost forgot to come here to brag tonight. Now all I do is razz everyone I know to quit and I've had some success. Still I am surrounded by smokers at work, but amazingly it does not bother me.
