Yeah, Happy Mother's Day all you moms!! Jean, it's great to have you back, Fearless Leader! I blame you NOT AT ALL for setting your meter back to its original date, so you know. Missed ya!! Melissa, we're more than happy to have you aboard! Strength in numbers. You got a great quit going there!! Banana, whether cigarette smoke smells enticing or not: For me, it always depends on the situation. In a bar, with billows of smoke all around, it's horrible. But sometimes I'll be walking down the street heading to the gym and I'll start to smell one single cigarette. For some reason that one smells soooo good. Then I notice it's a person walking 10 feet ahead of me, so I cross the street. Those are two examples. Have a great day, everybody!! --Shakes [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 38 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 771 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $342 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 52 [B]Seconds:[/B] 0

Hello to all of my dear Ashkickers :) I was out for a long walk this morning and it certainly helped with my stresses and anxieties. I find that walking is a great stress reliever plus I can walk off all of those empty calories I take in every now and then. I missed you all.. and I'm here for support as well as to give support! Also, I'm so pleased that you all kept the APRIL ASHKICKER'S name that I came up with... *BIG SMILE* Our group has really grown. And it looks like we have some of the best quitter's ever ! Have yourselves a super day and if you're a mom - Happy Mommy's Day ;p Jean [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 39 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 988 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $399.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 10 [B]Mins:[/B] 37 [B]Seconds:[/B] 20

Checking in :) & ready for another beautiful day. Shakes, you did great handling that kind of surroundings. Good for you :) I'm wondering, does the smell of cigarettes still smell nice & inviting for everyone or are you finding it offensive? Lately, the smell has been bothering me, even has made me sneeze. I didn't expect this so early in my quit. Keep it up Ash-kickers :) I step down tomorrow to 14mg. I am smoke free & am really looking forward to being nicotine free in 4 weeks. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/2/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 41 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,034 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $332.51 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 9 [B]Mins:[/B] 12 [B]Seconds:[/B] 55

Monica.. thank you so much for reading this thread to Jean. I am so sorry that she is so down. I know the end of a relationship can tear a person's world apart. I am so glad that she has someone there she can talk with to help her through it. We will be right here waiting with open arms when she feels up to coming back. Yes, it is a good sign that she made you a promise. She may be starting to see that light at the end of the tunnel. We are here for her... she's gonna make it. She just needs a little time to cope with the changes in her life. I am glad to hear that she is doing well in her quit despite everything else that is going on. She is a very strong person! Shakes, you really kicked some ash last night! Way to go!!! Glad you took someone with ya though, just in case. That is a great success story, thank you so much for sharing...

I went out to a bar last night for a beer after my show (I'm an actor). I was sure to take my buddy and cast-mate Mark with me. He's older, wise, and gets it, ya know? He's my rock. He was there to wisk me away if I reached the end of my rope or something...Anyway. I'm at this bar, people smoking all around me. It was quite surreal. But I gotta tell ya: even though I had some cravings and, of course, I noticed every cigarette around me...I never once entertained the thought of actually taking a puff! It was empowering. You can be sure I would never put myself in that position if I was feeling weak and if I didn't have a trusty companion along-side me! Just wanted to share. Now I gotta go wash the clothes I was wearing last night because they reeeeeeeeek of nasty cigarette-ness! :p --Shakes [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/5/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 37 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 755 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $333 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 4 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 25 [B]Seconds:[/B] 4

Lou P Lou.. I read your message to Jean and I immediately called her and read it to her. In fact I read all of the posts on your new Ashkicker's thread -- she cried and said she misses all of you and she's got to get herself together very soon and when that happens she'll return for sure. Lou P Lou this is the 1st time that she's made a promise to me about anything because she's feeling so low so this is a good sign. :) Also, I asked her about her cravings and she said she is coping but will definitely come here if they seem to be getting the best of her. Take good care all... You are all shining stars ! ((((((((hugs))))))))) Monica [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 1/12/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 120 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 2,415 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1080 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 13 [B]Hrs:[/B] 13 [B]Mins:[/B] 47 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39
