I just gave one of my neighbors the "non smoking speech". Not sure she want to have coffee with me in the near future lol

yep like wine.....gets better with age and leaves you with a puzzled look if you get too much :-)

Is that when the pic of his Avatar was taken :-)

Welcome Anna...nice to meet you :-) 6 days smoke free on your own..Congratulations...well done! I am glad you are here and I am glad you posted. This forum is a wonderful place, you will meet a lot of inspiring people..I can promise you that! My advice would be....read a lot and get involved, get to know people and let us know you! We all are here because we quit smoking! Just enjoy the ride with us!

Oh Boy :-) I wake up between 2 and 3 am. I get up and start working. I never slept more than 5 hours and lately it seems I don't need even that. But..I do sleep like a rock when I am a sleep. I get up and I am well rested. I don't cough anymore during the night.

S.N.O.T. from me (Smoking is not an option today)

thank you for your explanation! I would have never found us :-(

You got "fog brain" that's how I called it. I had the intention span of a Goldfish, they call it "Goldfish syndrome" hi i'm sam. do you like my bowl? oh look sea puff...gone! Everything was a little "fogy" I couldn't concentrate very well and felt irritated. A lot of your symptoms sound like anxiety. We all react differently, but we all feel something "weird" going on...some changes that we just can't explain. I felt slightly off center, a little bit off balance!

Good to see you Jake! I was always happy about my quit, but I felt miserable with the weight gain, I was uncomfortable in my clothes, everything was tight and I didn't like it. I felt loaded and bloated and it didn't make me happy. The moment I started to eat healthier (still eat chocolate but not all the time) and the moment when I started to exercise more..that's when I felt better.

You don't like to gamble and you don't smoke, I guess that means you won't be in the casino's. It's your anniversary....have a romantic get away! Make it your own....don't do what everybody else does...do what you two want to do! Anniversary - Jacuzzi in the bedroom - champagne.....who needs cigarettes and gambling :-)

Oh dear Tracey...I am so proud of you. Thank you for being here, thank you for being you, thank you for being there for me! Congratulations on 5 months

Thank you for verifying...I was wondering why you would curse about Diarrhea....I haven't had a bowel movement the last 10 weeks..I would sing Hallelujah (just kidding kinda)

I still would like to have a WTF smiley (it still means "well that's fantastic" ...right)

Oh Ross, I am so glad you are getting tests done. Getting tests done in the hospital is always a good idea, because everything is in one building and they don't have send "stuff" around from a to z! Do I have words of wisdom...No I don't....yes....... wait I do

One day your daughter will understand why you didn't "bail her out". There will be day when she will look at other peoples money problems and she will be grateful for the lesson you are teaching her right now. Action = Consequences and it's a Bitch to learn....and we "hate" the ones who dare to teaching us this lesson. Sooner or later we all learn it and sooner or later we all understand it....and we love the people who did it. The ones who won't understand are the ones who will have problems all their life. Glad you Dad is laughing about being a "dangler". I am just waiting for the right time point an my husband will learn his new nickname :-) You had some tough weeks and moths. Make sure you have a date night with you husband at least twice a months...and have one "me day" once a months..that would be my advice, besides sending you a big hug!

well..how come I haven't seen this before...too funny...would put my money on Julie (sorry MQ)

Great....I was hoping to hear from you today! You are doing fantastic!

TPAM kann dies verstehen (does understand what I am saying)

my curfew was sunset....And I better was home by then...or....well they call it child abuse today. I got a few "smacks" and missed a few that I should have gotten lol

well then.....guess what ...so do I :-) and I always buy smoked salmon in Canada...I might pick it up one year :-)

I wish I could jump in my car and drive by your house. I would pick up a nice dessert or something special and we could sit together and talk about our best friends. We could cry and laugh together and I could give you the big hug you so deserve! I am glad you quit!

Congrats on your start :-) I am not sure..it sounds like we might be both still young but older :-) Good job...well done!

I think I was lucky. My husband smokes, but he has been very supportive. We never smoked inside, even as a smoker I didn't want the smell in the house. I know the whole thing scared him at first. I think he was afraid that this might change our relationship....nothing changed between us. He smokes and I don't. I wish he would quit smoking as well and it sounds like he is thinking about it. I quit with cigarettes in our house, with ashtrays in front of me. There was only one night when it felt overwhelmed and I asked him to hide them in his car. I think we scare smokers...we show them what they need to do. We remind them that it can be done! I am sorry about your friend ....you would think a "scare" makes people quit! Maybe one day she will surprise you and will quit and so will my husband...I hope so!
