Hey All I have just passed my two weeks!!!!!!! yes yes yes!!!!!!
I am so proud of myself!
Genevieve, I am just one day ahead of you in my quit, mine 3/27. What aid are you using? I am on the patch and sure helps BUT of course I do have my bad times most of the time getting better to deal with, I look at the trees, flowers grass EVERYTHING, and it looks more beautiful then I have seen in years, told my husband tonight that I think I have been looking through a cloud of smoke for so long, 50 stupid years, it is amazing!!!!!!!!
I am leaving tomorrow to go to my parent's to take care of them again and also my sister, who just had by-pass surgery, she is 5 years younger then me, who also smoked and now does not we quit together! Will get back on the board when I get back. will miss everyone, you all could telepathy me hugs and support through out my absence, would be so appreciated and I will do the same to all my march mellow buddies!
Prayers to all, Hang tuff!
Bobbi

Ok "Out of focus" Wow with this string of support need I say more? What a great idea to do this is awsome!!!!!!
and "Butterfly Swimmer" I could take on the every Fri. pledge as I am retired so do have time every Fri. morn. the only thing is my sister had open heart surgery and I have to leave next Thur. to go help take care of her and there is no comp. where I will be, I will be gone for two weeks but when I get back would be more then glad to do this, could you take over until then and I will get back to you when I get back? Just let me know. I have only been quit for 11 days but would be an honor to do this, and help me on my journey.
Happy Easter to all!

Hey Sherri,
Well it wasn't that long ago that I wrote the same message I AM SO SCARED! and it did scare me soooo bad I would be awake all night worring, crying etc. you name it I did it, and several on this board said the fear of quitting is so much worse then when you finally make up your mind and really do it and boy have I ever found out they were right!!!!!!! at the time I sure thought yeah right they just don't know, but yes they and I do to know now that I have quit! I couldn't be happier, and yes there has been some bad times but oh so worth it and as the days go by is even more happy! I am using the patch, had smoked for 50 years, one of the best choices I have made in my life! this is my 4th try and will be the last one!!!!!! FOR SURE!
I am here if you need to talk as are many other wonderful people, I have been on other smoking cessation site but this is the best one in my book! Go to MY LUNG USA info on all you need to help you quit, have work sheets, also another good one is trytostop.org. hope these help.
Hang in there you can do it!!!!!!! Prayers and hugs sent to you!

I really like the Mighty March Mellows! and that we are!!!!!!
Alohakeia, no this is not the first time I have quit, is the 3rd time, first for a week, second for two weeks, third time for 6 mo. the last time I started because of weight gain, 33 lbs. in 6 mo. this time nothing will get me to go back. Today has really been rough, got a call from my youngest sister and the sister right under me is having by-pass surgery in the morn. she has 5 blockages, both sisters and my parent's live about 3 hrs. away, also over the week end my mother fell and has two broken ribs, my mother and father are not in good health, live alone with the sister who is having the surgery, is main one to care for them, as I have said before I make regular trips down to help take care. SSSSS guess I will be going again but with three to take care of this time!!!!!! and with not smoking now I am really stressed, so has really been hard, have wanted a cig. so many times throughout the day, have kept telling myself a cig would not make the problem go away, said have to think like a non-smoker, of course I talked to my friend today and she said well thats fine but a nonsmoker isn't also having to deal with also saying no to a cig.
I will not smoke!!!!!!!!!!! but could sure use some support! also my husband is upset that I will have to go to help out as I really have been gone alot! so just makes it alittle bit harder.
I am just going to bed shortly so I don't have to think about it for now, give my wee brain a rest for the day. lol
Prayers and hugs to all March Mellows.

Thanks for your reply. Keep in touch. please!
Keep going Mighty March Mellow, we will, we will!

Breecie,
Welcome aboard! My quit date was day before you 3/27. How are you doing? hope wonderful!!!!! I am using the patch, smoked for 50 years and stupid ones at that! this is my 4th time to quit, did cold turkey before but never again , the reason I started back the last time was I gained 33 lbs. in 6 mo. this time I have a whole new plan and sure hope it works because I will NEVER smoke again! I have been researching for about two mo. didn't do that before either. So far it is going pretty good eve. and first thing in morn. are the worst morn. I just get real busy, in the eve. I watch my few shows on tv, then to bed by 8:30 or 9 so don't have to think about it.
what aid are you using? first time to quit?
your March Mellow buddie wishes you much luck and sends many prayers
