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!!!! :)

Welcome!!! You have made such an awesome decision. Read a ton. Stay on the Board as often as you can in the beginning. Ask for support - we are here and we love to help!! My kids are growing athletes too, and it feels great to be a non-smoking fan! I also feel better and more energetic and healthier! There are only benefits to quitting - not one single benefit to smoking - Not one!

Congrats!!!! You two look great! Tracey, your dress is so pretty, and you are beautiful!

Great job Leanna!!!! You look fabulous! Keep taking care of yourself and your growing baby.

Sending our thoughts to your wife Jimmy.

Wonder if our new Bride and Groom will stop by to celebrate tonight? I'll try to swing by, but my Mom is coming over and we have an early morning of volleyball tomorrow.
