Paul,
Great! Keep it up. I hope that you never go back to this habit.
Chris

Fret,

Prayers sent for your wife.

Paul,

Great news! Keep up the great work!

started smoking when I worked at BK... between school and work I was stressed out... 25hrs a week for sleep didn't help. went for about 2.5yrs on ciggs...
quit for 14months, then stress got me again... smoked capt black mini cigars for a year, quit on labour day. So this is month 5.
I've had a couple cigars when my buddy bought and offered me one, but I'm done with smoking.

Figured the $50 a month I was spending could be put towards either a bottle of scotch or knives.
My first month was the hardest, not a problem now.

Take it one day at a time, Deacon.

You can do it!!! :D

Good Show Paul, you show more character than I do at the moment! I'll go polish my spydies and be ashamed of myself.
Jur. :D

Good job Paul. I know you're glad you gave it up.

Thats great news. I quit myself 6/1/04 and have been using nicorette gum. First the 4mg now the 2mg and starting to wean off of it. I have quit many times before, sometimes for as long as a year. Its true that "just one or two" will creep right back into full scale smoking. Keep it up. Its worth it.

Made it through another three months without reverting to my old habit and without defenestrating any of my co-workers, or my computer at work. It may be silly, but I figure posting it here somehow helps keep me from succumbing to the occasional urge to light up.

Paul,

Keep it up man. It's hard. I did it too. I quit about 7 years ago.

Best thing for ya.

God Bless you.

Cheers,
David

Congratulations. I tried to quit twice the last couple of years but due to some very unfortunate events after about 6 to 8 weeks found myself unable to keep it up. I am slowly preparing myself for a new attempt but holding out until my life quietens down a bit.

Good job. I quit last November 1st so it's been about that long for me. You need to have a lot of self discipline to quit.

Keep it up Paul, remember there is no innocent occasional smoke after you'v been hooked. You earned some pride.

:spyder: good for you, Paul! Quit smoking and you can take up 3 new bad habits and still be ahead! :spyder:

Way to go...hardest **** thing I ever had to quit!

Now the liquor is different....LOL :D

Time for me to dredge up this thread again. Just hit the 1 year mark today! And, although there have been a couple close calls, did it without increasing my body count. :D

Congrets Paul, keep it up. Its for a good cause. Besides wasn't it a stupid filthy habbit after all? Been there, done that, so I can say it.

hello all

Congratulations Deacon, quite an accomplishment you have achieved.
Keep at it and soon you will be free of nicotine.
One day at a time, slowly but surely you will succeed. :)

Congratulations, Paul. Now for the five-year smoke-free stint. I believe you lose the nicotine in about a week, but the craving lingers much longer. Having stopped for a year, you should now find the smell of cigarette smoke offensive. This in itself should prevent you starting again. If you are offered a cigarette, DON'T DO IT !!! Don't even take a drag, just to show that you can stop. This has been the undoing of many a stopee !

All the best

Mike

Paul

Great work! Think of all the extra cash you have to spend on hobbies

Keep it up mate! :D

Ken

Really quite excellent Paul.

I am sure there are still times when you'd love to light one up or think 'maybe just one'.

Days add up to weeks then months, years and decades.

I hope you've seen some positive health benefit. Food taste different? If you've not actually noticed any difference, I am sure your body has.

Keep it up, you are strong!
