Can you believe _I_ just wrote that?! Wow!


I have now stopped smoking for 2 weeks, 23 hours, 13 minutes, 41 seconds. That translates into 449 cigarettes NOT smoked, for a savings of $85.32! At 5 minutes per cigarette I have increased my life expectancy by 1 day, 13 hours, 25 minutes, 10 seconds.

And I have gained 3 pounds lol

Ye-haw, girl! Quitting is sooo hard, you're doing an awesome job!

Better to gain a few pounds and be smoke free. You'll take care of them later.

Congrats Shawna! That's excellent!

Are you using QuitNet for your stats? When I quit, that website helped ALOT. But as my mother always tells me, it is mind over matter. And...well my mind was not strong enough and here I am cigs in hand. I plan on quitting again before winter though. Did you use any aids or just go cold turkey?

Sorry if you've already answered those questions...I just kinda pop in and out of here on occasion..

What you said on your website motivated me. What you said sounds exactly like me. Hiding behind pillows when sitting or the long shirts, how much you've lost so far...etc. I've been coming to this board almost a year now. But when I started thinking about how and where to begin your's was the first webpage I looked at. And I decided that if someone who sounds like me can do it, then I can do it. So I posted here and you were very kind and receptive and that mattered very much to me that someone understood and cared. So Thanks Shawna!!

That's the shortened version of how you motivated me! : )
