So, it?s coming up on 5 weeks since i took my last puff.

And i'd have to say i'm feeling pretty proud of myself. September 20, 2011 will be 5 weeks since i smoking my last cigarette, and i've got the most perfect reward lined up. I'm getting a car!! Now, it's not that it's a present or anything, I really need one because mine died like 2 weeks ago. I look at it as a reward though.

Monday Morning Stats Parade

I'm very proud of all of you! I've learned so much in the past 5 weeks being attached to this website then i could've on my own in a whole year. I'm bringing new things into my life. Out with the old, in with the new. Tomorrow (September 20, 2011) I'm going to purchase a new vehicle, free of someone elses' smoking habits, I can't wait to inhale that new car smell, know the one i'm talking about? My stats show today, that i'm smoke free and I intend to stay that way! Thanks to all of you!!

Having a really difficult time right now....

It's not so much that i wanna smoke, because i don't. Remember when i said i was getting a new car? Well i didn't.. I don't have enough money and no one wants to finance me because i don't have any credit. I'm back to square 1 with having no car and no way of getting around...

Thanks. I don't have any desire to smoke ever again. I'm  losing weight and my health is improving. My blood pressure has returned to normal, 110/70, hasn't been that low in years! This is just a bump in the road that will pass soon.. I hope!

Having a really difficult time right now....

Things are getting a little easier. Although i just found out yesterday that my boyfriend has to have kidney surgery on my birthday.. Not good. But, this to shall pass. I have no desire what so ever to smoke, and it's wonderful!

Having a really difficult time right now....

@Deb, first of all, thank you for that story. It really helped me, a lot. Another thing, i'm sorry to say that my boyfriend and I don't live in Canada, I haven't the slightest idea how to change that. He and I actually live in Virginia, one of the worst states for health care, but, i can say something good about this state. He's part of a free clinic that offers basic stuff to patients and they're performing the surgery for free. 
 
Also, the last 2 cars i have purchased were off of craigslist, the 1st one, the motor seized up in it, and the 2nd one, it took 4 months after buying it for it to stop running. There was nothing mechanically wrong with that car i just didn't have the money to fix it. I'm going into this search with more open eyes then i did the last 2 times. My boyfriends mother bought his cousin a car, a 1991 mustang i might add, and she's thinking about letting us use it until we can find something because right now that car is just sitting in his cousins driveway with a flat tire. We have the money to replace that tire, it's just a matter of convincing his mom that we need the car.
 
But, again, thank you for all the support. You remind me of my mom, quick to give advice and quick to give warmth and love, thank you.

Haven?t been on the site in a couple days..

Just wanted to see how everyone was doing and report that it's been 6 weeks today that i put down smoking and i couldn't be happier. I have to admit these past few days i've been a royal *Bleep* but i wouldn't pick up smoking again for anything. I'm healthier, i got my singing voice back and it's so good to be able to express myself through song.

Thank you everyone. I'm thinking about getting into some bars that do karaoke night or something like that and since i've lost to much weight, a sweater that i bought last year during the winter is now kinda to big on me. Surprised me when i put it on this morning!
