I'm A Quiter "Again" and proud of it!
So, I've once again managed to quit smoking, I quit on Friday November 16th. It's absolute hell, especally when your physically not well and stressed out on top of it all, but I'm hanging in there " Taking Baby Steps" and so far so good! Almost 72 hours

Girl, you are so brave! And I am so proud of you! Just take it one minute at a time, and try not to snap anyone's neck. I know when I quit I was periodically filled with rage for absolutely no reason. So if you need a punching bag, I'm here!
I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. His hair was perfect.

Thank-You so much geekmidwinter & spookyboo for your positive energies and well wishes it really means a lot. You know, I've never been one to snap on people, even the first time I quit. In fact I got angry cause my hubby and old friends decided that when I was to get discharged from ICU that they would hide their smoking from me to help me. Well I straightened them out pretty fast. I told them that if I was going to be able to do it I had to do it under the hardest of situations right from the start so I told them to keep on as if nothing had ever changed, and it was very hard for them to do that, but I told them if they didn't I'd light up That was back in 2003 and I quit until June of 2005, and ever since then I've quit and then restarted, struggled with it ever since again, on and off like a yo yo. So, I'm hoping I can kick it again for good, really I have no choice if I want to stick around. But the one thing I'm happy about is anytime I was off the smokes I never once became a reformed smoker, I always said when I was younger I never wanted to be one if I ever quit cause it just didn't sit well with my beliefs, hell I know how hard it is to quit so I've always felt that since I've been down that road I should know how hard it is for someone else and I do, so I totally empathize with those who smoke, I just quietly say prayers for them that they will be able to quit also.

I have a friend who was a <deleted> smoker from age 14 until age 30. She promised her fiance (now husband) that she would quit on her 30th birthday. She used the gum and lozenges for a while and she said it really helped, but there was one yucky side effect. Apparently the nicotine in the gums and lozenges can weaken the capillaries in your mouth, so a lot of times in the mornings she would wake up with a mouth full of blood. Blech. She said that a couple of weeks of that happening was enough to ween her off of those. Happy to say she's never picked up a cigarette since June 4th, 2006.
So how's it going Dutchy? And how's Monsieur Draven-chat-noir? Bien?
