Thanks again everyone for the words of encouragement. It's been over 4 weeks now, so I'm not turning back. I really think this smoking gig is over. I just have to remind myself to clean the windshield in my van. All that nicotine and smoke residue is still there. Maybe I'll remember to do it today.

Thumbs up

Still going strong ladies...no smokes since August 30th. Yeah for me!!! Even after all this time, let's see....7 weeks today, I still at times would love to 'light up', but I haven't. I just go do something else to get my mind off of it and it always works.

Bad thing though..you all know how I've been fighting the weight battle...well, I've gained every pound I've lost back. Hate to admit this, but back up to 242...SUCKS!!!

Aww Janet, one battle at a time. Winning the no smoking one is HUGE! Once you're comfortable with that you can go back to the weight issue. We're all ALWAYS works in progress, so give yourself a big pat on the back for this one 'cause you've done SO well!

Congratulations! Don't forget to take taurine, an amino acid that is shown to help folks beat those tobacco cravings.

You can only do one thing at a time. First you stop smoking and start feeling physically so good you won't believe the difference!

Then, tackle the weight thing.

I think they're both huge undertakings and should be done with grace and a great deal of self-respect.

Janet,

By the way, I stopped smoking years ago, but every so often get a momentary craving. It's maybe twice a year. The way I learned to get around those is that I decided that after I die, I will start smoking again, along with several other bad habits I've given up along the way.

I'm going to have a really good time in heaven.
