I had a couple of false starts and one major relapse. Each time I came back more determined to be done for good. Don't give up. You have completely re-awakened the addiction, but you can but it back to bed. Yes, smoking sucks. Be done.

visit warm places. My favorite movie is

I'll say gun hunting is the lie. I have three dogs, One has only one eye. One has a crooked leg. One has a broken tail.

Happy Birthday - breakfast is on me next time you're in Denver.

Yeah, quit picking on me. I'm sensitive. haha :sarcastic_blum:

Welcome Carlos!!! Such a great decision you have made! I love your note, but for me, having smokes around was not a good idea at all. I started a list of all the benefits and reasons to not smoke and kept it on my phone. I loved this because I could add to it anytime and check it out if I needed a reminder. Also, I love your goals! You will achieve all of these when you stop smoking - and so many more! Call me shallow, but vanity was a big motivator for me as well, not only did I stink and look stupid smoking, but my teeth were yellowing, and I was getting those wrinkles around my mouth. I was skinny in an unhealthy way. ICK!!! I feel so much better now, healthy, strong and that nagging cough/throat clearing is gone! I used to work in sales and I was so embarrassed when I would have to clear my throat - that is GONE now!!! Also the freedom you gain gives you so much inner strength and self-confidence, which it sounds like would serve you well in your work. We'd love to hear how your quit is going and be here to support you!

Super cool! I should get my son one of those. Personally, I have no patience for that. lol.

Gonna try to pop in there in a bit. who is around?

Was it the eyes wide open or the lip licking that gave it away? lol

Sorry I missed your month & a few days, but Congrats to you!!! Keep up the great work!!

Hey...... Blaming me behind my back, I see???

I am also late, but CONGRATULATIONS!!! Two years is so AWESOME! I love the visualization - did that a lot when the romanticizing tried to kick in. I would "virtually" smoke and take in all the ugliness about smoking. I am so happy we made this decision for ourselves. Even the tough moments are so totally worth being free! :)

YAY Boo!!! You ROCK!!! One month is AWESOME!!!! Keep up the great work! So happy you joined the train!

Great to hear from you Joe!!!! :)
