I just realized awhile ago, 3 years ago today, I smoked
my last cigarette.
I took it a day at a time.
I don't begrude anyone a cigarette, as long as they don't
smoke it next to me.
Hubby has tried several times himself to quit, yet so far he
has not been  successful. I do hope someday soon he is though.
I have heard that quitting cigarettes is as hard as going off of heroin.
Well I can't say for sure as never done heroin.
With everything I have been thru the past 15 months, I was able to
refrain from starting again. I just figured I would have had those problems whether I smoked or not..
So I do feel that now I have kicked that habit.
Two wishes if I could have them, that my Mom and hubby both
could quit and stay quit.
Now I have to get the weight off and I am working on that..

Oh and to celebrate, I bought a whole  Copper River Salmon
to have for dinner..YUMMY...
The price for the Salmon is about 1/2 of what people pay for a
carton of cigarettes..
Just thought I would share an acheivement that I am so very proud
of.. Hugs all,   kim

CONGRATS!!!!!

You go Kim....I am working hard to give up Nicotine...I use Smokeless Tobacco and have for 16 years...It will be like losing my best friend...I am almost out of Copenhagen and have promised that I will not buy anymore so we will see...Way to go Kim...

Working on it very diligently. Don't smoke in the Freightliner (I don't own it). Don't smoke in the mulch yards (highly explosive dust and decomposition gases). Trying not to smoke in the Ranger (was my brother in law's, he was diagnosed with end stage small cell lung cancer 12/8/10, died from it 1/4/11, yep, less than a month). Have never liked smoking in the house.

Carton here is less than $30, you'd best check that salmon...

Guuud fer yew!   Now you will be around longer. Tell husband I said quit. Congratulations. Boofer

Chris smoked for over 40 of his 61 years. Stopped the day before he died. F*** that.

WD, smokes there are definetly cheaper than here.
Here now, name brand cartons are around $70.00
and higher in some places. Now generic are about
$15 to $20 per carton cheaper I believe.

Yes their have been people that died from Lung Cancer,
Heart Attacks that never took a puff.

I really had no choice, I was having to use my inhaler to
open my lungs to smoke. Now that is being just plain stupid
in my book. I made the choice before I had to pack a oxygen
bottle around with me.
I only hope that now that I have kicked the habit, it will allow
me to be around longer, and enjoy riding the bike for many
many years.
Also I am hoping to be around to see my Grandkids grow up
into adults as well. 3 more important reasons for me to never
start again.. kim

I think you've got it beat!!
