[Gary_C]

Good for you Bill.  8) 8)

Just don't go lighting that poison stick on your cake.  :D :D

[Cedarman]

If I put that cig on there, it would explode if lit. :D :D
Congratulations!!!!!!!!

[Qweaver]

Congrats.  Quiting is hard for most and nearly impossible for others.  I don't miss cigs but sure would like a good cigar now and then.  Told the wife that if it made it to 70, I am going to smoke 1 cigar a week.  We'll see how that works out.  :D

[Bro. Noble]

Good for you.  A person that's never been through breaking a bad nicotine habit doesn't know the determination and self control that you put forth.

 8) Attaboy!!  8)

Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did.

[Raider Bill]

I still get cravings!  Right after a meal or after a couple beers is the only time though.

[Radar67]

Next year those will be gone too. Good for you Bill.  8)  Two and a half years for me.

good going on all of you. 5 packs a day whew. thats alot of cash.

[trapper]

good to hear you quit. I couldnt afford them when they made the big price jump to 50 cents a pack

Your body is a machine.  If you don't treat it right, it will break down and wear out quicker than hitting nails in a log.  Two years a go I gave up being a couch potato.   I started working out an hour a day 5 days a week, lost 50 lbs, am in great shape and can do so much more with my high performance body!

Great job on giving up the cigs!  I'm sure you can breath better.  Now if you start working out, the first 3 weeks are hell as you'll be sore every other day, but you will build endurance and after that initial 3 weeks, you don't get sore anymore and you recover faster and faster.  Get a good trainer to get you on the right track.  For a cardio workout, you have to keep your heart rate at a certain high level, which can be calculated for each person, based on resting heart rate, age etc.  Working out at that level will help you lose weight, and build your endurance and strength level.  Every week you ratchet it up one notch and within 3 months you will see big gains.  Today, working out is like brushing my teeth, don't love it per say, but have to do it.  I don't hate it either, and if I miss a day or a couple, I feel like crap until I do.  It will keep away heart disease, diabetes and lots of other couch potato problems.  Unfortunately, the alcohol isn't good for you either.

great job bill.
im with mm i have not had to quit just because i couldnt afford to start.
i wouldnt even light that cancer candle on your cake. smoking in most eating establishments here is against the law.  pc

[terrifictimbersllc]

Congratulations!!!  34 years this month for me.   Pls forgive the sermon but don't allow even one of those things anywhere on your property or vehicle and don't go where others are using them.  All the best.   Dennis

[Woodhauler]

[LeeB]

Good job Bill. I'm right behind you on the one year anniversery. Couple more weeks and I'll have a year in. It's been 8 months since I gave up the snuff. Still get the craving every now and then, mostly at work, exspecialy for the snuff.
