thank you Vickie and Mirror

Damn you miss a lot when you're offline for a couple days

We did talk about this when you first started and I hope it's going well!

You know we want to have you around for very long time healthy and all.

thank you sunshine

I wish you all the very very best.

I started when i was 14teen yrs old.
off and on, then i got married and "craved". LOL

I quit for my daughter who asked me "who her hero would be"!, if the Actors and Actress, the Hero's of today and even the Teachers can not be looked up to. Then who can she look up to? ( The Dare Program ). 1994. Taught my Daughter Never to smoke or drink or do DD... I am very thankful for them. She is now 25yrs old.

On Halloween 1994 at 7:03pm I quit Drinking "Black Velvet", and Quit smoking!..

How ever Smoking? that I did not stop (stress)..

But When I Found out my husband of 18yrs was leaving me, I stood up and took my life back!

I quit smoking 1998. I thought after all these years it would be so hard! but it was not.

Even when my mind tried to tell me I needed that cig, I taught myself to say. "NO"! YOU can not Control me!! It worked, I started to Control my actions and what I wanted out of my life.

However I did do one thing, I would buy 3 bags of Equate throat lousangers ever month, I put them in my Car astray, i had them in my house all over, the bathroom, the night stand, kitchen table, were ever i placed my astray, I cleaned all of them and then filled them all up with the candy.

Did i gain weigh, NO! because the throat lousangers kept me from eating.

I did for the sake of myself, quit drinking Pepsi or soft drinks I found out real fast they went side by side..... and when i had a soft drink i craved a cig... so i stopped all soft drinks.

I even went off of Coffee, Yep the most hardest thing of them all since i have been drinking it since i was 3 yrs old and that is not a joke. It calms hyperactive kids back in the 60's..

I did not restart this until 2004. I still do not drink any Pepsi, or soft drinks. and 2 yrs ago i stop needing. the Throat loungers.

My kids never have asthma attacks and have not 'for over 10yrs'.

My lungs on the extra's have completely healed up.

but the best thing is this. The doctors have to ask me now. Have you ever smoked a day in your life> I say.. Yes i did, they said there is not even a trace of it.

Now that is amazing for a women who smoked 3 packs a day!

God bless you, I know you can do it! and remember "the greatest gift" your doing it because 'you Love your self' more. YOUR doing it because YOU care about YOUR SELF.

*searches yellow house for trace evidence*

this should help you continue on your track to quit smoking

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars.

Josh Muszynski (Moo-SIN'-ski) checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

The bank corrected the error the next day.

Bank of America tells WMUR-TV only the card issuer, Visa, could answer questions. Visa, in turn, referred questions to the bank.

I wish u much success gurlfriend! Don't worry I'll stuff em an smoke em for ya, at least until I'm ready to quit an find someone to take over for me.

thank you silly and beans and Robin

and Fran...you should know I read that article already Money is a big reason I'm quitting they are getting ridiculously expensive

just wanted to share some inspiration - as I remembered you mentioned pricing being an issue

How's it going? Is it as hard as they say? never know you may just inspire me to quit.

well it's going

a friend of my brother in laws came over last night (who smokes) and the 2nd hand smoke actually burned the back of my throat.

I was at the store the other day and saw Pall Mall's (one of the cheaper brands) was at $5.50!!!!!!! I just can't bring myslf to pay that much money

I can still find a pack less than $4.00 and I'm catching a cow paying that price

I used to make my own. At one point in recent history a pound bag of tobacco cost me $10 and 2 boxes of filtered tubes was $5 a piece. I could make them for $1.00 a pack. now the pound is at $50!!!!

It's the new tax to fund health care. They just wanted to get it all at once instead of spreading it out over many years. Unfortunately this only covers it for 3 months.

talk about a bail out

Congratulations on your success so far Rose. Keep up the good work.

now gimme a cigarette
