[b]"If you are never scared, embarrassed or hurt, it means you never take chances." Julia Soul Actress[/b] This little quote has applied to me during this quit. I was so scared when I quit smoking. I was afraid my life would fall apart and I would loose who I am. I was so embarrassed to admit I was addicted to nicotine. I was also embarrased to tell all of you how I flubbed up the 3 quits. But look at me today!! I took that chance to do it and BAM! I have 2 more days and I reach the 70th mark!! YIPPEEE!!! So, take that chance and see what happens!! =) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 9/21/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 68 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 683 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $136 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 6 [B]Hrs:[/B] 0 [B]Mins:[/B] 33 [B]Seconds:[/B] 58

Your quit has been impressive, indeed! You have so much to be proud about. I don't know what we would do without your teas and sweets...starve to death, I imagine! Congratulations on a most admirable quit!

Hey Duckie Heartfelt congratulations on 68 days!!!!! You are brilliant. Can I reply also with another quote from Goethe - it goes [i]Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it[/i] Aren't you you just delighted that you begun - I know I am. All the best to you.

Me too Duckie. I collect them. I visit a chirorpactor regularly and his wall is covered in some great quotes and he keeps changing them too. So I'm often taking notes while waiting for a treatment. I love the way a quote can just sum up the exact thing you want to express and they can be really inspirational and powerful. I see that you are also on 69 days now Duckie - that's fantastic. Tomorrow is actually 10 WHOLE WEEKS - WOW!!!! I hope you plan to celebrat that in style. All the best Sharon Belfast [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 10/14/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 46 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 463 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �123.74 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 3 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 31 [B]Seconds:[/B] 22
