Until I see a WIP image I'll withhold judgement.
I still think Farve played better when he was hooked on the vicodin.
I'm just sayin'

As each day passes by you get one day closer to your goal.
Yeah you still may want to light up, but now you know that you can get through the day without doing it.
Keep going John.

You can do it.
Hang in there.
If you get really bad cravings drink 2 full glasses of grapefruit juice. Believe me it kills cravings. I quit last year and that's how I did it.
Anyone heard from Webgizmos?

Nothing like a little self confidence to help you make it through the day. No doubt in my mind that you are done with one bad habit.
Got any others that we need to work on?

You can do it!
Still in the process aka working on the last pack. I've done it before and the habit urges were/are far worse than the nicotine withdrawal.
At the moment the computer tells me at random when to have a break. Next I'll have it tell me when to eat, sleep & go to the bathroom!

a little incentive to quitting,
my mom never smoked in her life, but my grandmother,uncles,father, and now myself (brother did but he is passed too unrelated to smoking)all did.
She died two years ago of a ruptured subarachnoid aneurysm (somewhere in the brain.) it was traumatic for both her (she stayed on this plane for almost a whole week after,but never regained consciousness)and for all of us. The doctors at Jefferson wills-eye in philly said they thought she was a heavy smoker, more than a pack a day, judging by the condition of her veins and arteries.
Dad quit 23 years ago aparently it had already affected her, I haven't been so successful yet.
and no I never smoked around her, out of respect. if we all hadn't smoked, maybe mom would still be around, or at least have had a fighting chance at recovering.

I have 2 Aneurysms....1 is an abdominal aortic aneurysm (4.4 centimeters) and the other is in my heart on the ascending aorta (3.5 centimeters) ...both of which were caused "mostly" by smoking and will continue to increase in size

I quit in 1988 after I'd smoked for 20 years. The only thing that finally did the trick for me was that somebody got in my face and told me I didn't have the guts to really quit. Well, I stubbed out that cigarette on the spot, gave her all the cigarettes I had in the house and said that I'd show her.
It was hell for a few days and it was hard for a couple months but I finally got to the point where I wasn't thinking about smoking all the time. It's funny seeing all the patches and gum and all the other stuff that's out today -- the only thing I had to get me through was Tic Tacs. I ate so many I got burns on my tongue but I didn't start smoking again either.

omg, youve quit smoking....... I personally think your wasting yr money on those stupid patches, but if it works for you then cool.....
Any addiction that requires quitting is a tough road, be it cola, tobacco, or even greasy food ect..... the last time i tried to quit, i broke down into tears every time i craved for a cig....
I know you wont be doin that......I REALLY do wish you the best. and I hope you can come out of this a winner.
Im on a health kick myself this year....started last week on a bootcamp for health, I now walk 2 hrs a day and eat nothing but raw diet......(just fruit and veges, no cooking nothin) and ive never felt so good in my life..full of energy ect......
I also recommend that you tell someone your close to that you've quit (you probably already have) and make yourself accountable to them, and let them also be your SOS. So if you feel like your going to go out and buy some ciggies, ect, you can ring them up and tell them what is going on, and they can talk you out of it, and stop you from smoking.
