"Any enemy of a kitty lover is an enemy of mine." Did I get that quote right? Sure I heard it somewhere. The fact is that the kitties have few enemies....... The problem is that they do not have enough friends........ "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 783822 ·

Now is good.......I am strong.......I will prevail...... This is all so simple when it comes down to it....... Just a matter of choices......minute by minute, day by day...... Do I stop and buy a pack, or stick with it......I am sticking with it. The slippage bothers the f out of me, but I shall not allow it to take hold. Feeling a little better......have not noticed the improved taste or smell senses yet.....but that will come around. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 784661 ·

As an ex-smoker I guarantee you will feel so much better once you are through the worst of it. I went cold turkey on a holiday to Spain. I was staying in the middle of nowhere, no cigarettes, no transport and no way of obtaining any! Best thing I could have done for my health & my finances! ID: 784665 ·

Yeah! I'm curious too. I've been the ultimate lurker for the past 2 weeks, & I've seen 1 little slip-up. That's nothing, I've slipped plenty of times before my final quit. Account frozen...

It's not an easy thing Mark is doing..but we are all rooting for him that's for sure. Smoking is a horrible habit..you'll certainly be an improved person without it in lots of ways.

How are you holding out Mark? I am holding out OK.......seems I have faltered....but I guess smoking a pack a week instead of a pack a day must be some kind of triumph after 20 years of the crap......and I SHALL cease it entirely before it kills me. Thank you again for all who have supported me.......I hope I have given all others who are trying to quit the kill sticks some support too...... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."
