CONGRATULATIONS!!

I also am just over a year......quit Feb. 8th, 2006. I also used the
patch and figure the difference is that I was *ready to quit*. I still
get the odd mental urge......as in "hmm, think I will have a coffee and a
cigarette".....then remember that I no longer smoke, grin.

Good for us, eh? As for the money we have saved, I bought a new TV with
my first $500. Don't know what they cost over there, but about $10/large
pack here. So 365 x $10 = a lot of money......$3,650!!

But even better.....my car and house no longer stink!! Not to mention my
clothes. And the *car and house smelling badly* was a major factor in my
decision to quit. As was the fact that some friends were allergic to
either my cat or the smoke. Casey is still here. (G)

Cheers.....Heather (and I do hate the 15 extra lbs, but hope to get rid of
that in the warmer weather)

Hi all,
It's been a year since I gave up smoking it seems to have gone so quick
but that could just be me getting older g

Haven't heard anything from you Heather lately about your no smoking, is
it still working.

I quit over 20 years ago and once in a great while I have dreams of smoking
again. When I wake up, it seems so real at first. A nasty habit.
The part I don't understand is, why this fuss over the *smoking*, when it is
much, much more detrimental to our health, what they are doing with our food
supply all across the board. Everyone can figure out for themselves the
details of the countless methods of food poisoning in our daily lives,
practiced by the food companies and sanctioned by the FDA.
The thing is, in most cases it doesn't kill you instantly, but slowly over
time or, to be sure, it makes you sick and ready for the hospital.
Why is the public ignoring this, while giving all the attention to
*smoking*, which by btw is entirely voluntary, contrary to *eating*.

Harry.

Congrats, Joan. I just past 2 months and I can feel my toes for the
first time in years. Also don't hear that wheezing sound while sleeping,
either.
Of course I can't see my toes due to the ever increasing size of my
stomache, but that's another matter for another time. w

Thanks Mart, I know I've tried before in fact I even went to the doctors
one time and had hypnotherapy, it worked for the weekend then I wanted to
see if the suggestion that I would hate to smoke would work and well it
was several years later that I actually did. g

I think you've identified the key to quitting. Some 30+ years ago, I
refused to quit as a 'member' of a group - who all reverted many
times over the years! So I quietly quit 'by myself' without any
fuss a few weeks later. Never touched one since.

Will power? - Whatever... If YOU want to - you can.

Well done Joan.

Mart

I think it's next month that it becomes law you are not allowed to smoke
in public places, I think the establishment gets a fine as well as you if
you do.

Soon everyone will quit whether they want to or not. The news this
morning announced a new smoking ban at a local restaurant. Lawmakers
everywhere are prohibiting smoking in many new places, at least in
the USA.
The money is an extra incentive to many. As often as you would have
bought a pack, you go check the price of a pack and put that amount
in a saving account or piggy bank. At the end of a year you can go
enjoy a cruise.
Quitting smoking is good for your health in more ways than one. Every
time I see some jerk throw a cigarette butt out a car window I
want to shoot them. I've seen at least two just this week.

If smoking used to calm your nerves, you just need to find a
replacement. Some take up knitting. Some become sex addicts...

lol I thought you were going to keep it a secret g
