Well Hello Mistymoon and Welcome back! I remember when you left awhile back so happy that you are mastering this quit. Four packs, there are some 3 pack people around my but four. So you have gone and stuck to your quit. I must admit I thought we lost you awhile back. Cheers to you! How about sticking around and posting here often if you can. There are lots of deserving folks here that could use your support and know how. Congratulations to you Mistymoon [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/22/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 383 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 5,754 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2010.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 71 [B]Hrs:[/B] 6 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 33

I've got 207 days. Strange day to pick for a stats parade post. I don't come around here much anymore, but have been thinking about you all just lately, so i came by to see how you were doing, and to let you know that i'm still hanging tough. This was extremely difficult for me. I was nearly a 4 pack a day smoker, and I just gave them up one day. I have told my husband more than once "This is the dumbest d**ned thing i've EVER done!" as I went through something else. I told hubby when I quit that I would probably try to force him to encourage me to smoke by behaving extra badly. LOL.. You know, he went through all of the things that I could toss his way and never once caved. I begged him one time, while crying my eyes out and telling him how much I was suffering to just PLEASE go buy me some ciggarrettes. I wouldn't go buy them myself - guess I didn't really want them as much as I thought, or wanted it to be his failure not mine - I dunno, but he didn't do it. I'm an insulin dependant diabetic, and I guess that the success rate for us is pretty low. I can see why - my blood sugar went up sky high, and I was taking much more insulin and my doctor even added a pill to go with it. When your blood sugar is unstable, every single system in your body is unstable, including your emotions and thought patterns - so maybe that gives a little insight into Misty, and few other folks around here. I'm proud of myself. I know that everyone here is proud of themselves and we all should be and i'm not really anouncing great news. LOL... But, I am just really proud of myself. I've never made it longer than 3 months before, and here I am on my to 7 months. I've gained 35 pounds. 35 pounds - holy crap. LOL!! I've also gained 18 days of my life, the ability to breath, and a sense of smell that makes me wish I didn't have a cat. My baby will never even remember his mom as a smoker. I'm having good days now. Really... good days. There was a time that I thought i'd never ever feel normal again. My blood sugar is beginning to drop, and my insulin usage is dropping. I haven't gained anymore weight - haven't lost any but, haven't gained either in like... 2 weeks. LOL! In the begining, this place was my entire stability. I came her

Hey Phillip! I've missed you tons as well! I know what you mean - i've been able to identify with the things that you say. I don't remember exactly what it was anymore, but I remember you had the words to get me through one time when I was in crisis, and I have been a fan of yours ever since. Grats on nearly a year!
