Congratulations all on the start of another day where you will walk away ...the winner.

Jack,
I saw the word HOPEFULLY.........don't get weak
BE STRONG! This is done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fwiw....I would stay away from second hand smoke...if possible, and drinking (it tends to weaken the resolve) Its tough enough without the reminders....

GL today

only day 4 for me but 9 smokeless days of the last 12 so not bad. i wont even take a drag and i havent had anything to drink since the 20th because that's the deal breaker every time. i'm not going to drink until memorial day just to make sure that doesnt break the deal this time. my mother just makes me shake my head. she's the one that had the ventillator down her throat a year ago and still doesnt listen. i'll be breaking bad on her ass as soon as i have a couple weeks under my belt. my wife is on day 3 and doing good. i put the patch back on yesterday when i was getting frequent urges but havent used the gum at all this time. feeling good with no coughing or wheezing.

thanks bear. good luck non-smokers :)

One falls....more follow....dont let it happen....I think some of you have absolutely made it although it is NOT over...
My support is payback and I'm so happy to be able to do it!
I really needed the support back when and it was here that I came to vent...it helped immensely

Great Job!!!

BEAR.. you are a real help like waterdog said. You are putting your time in to encourage some people on a annoymous forum. I'm sure everyone appreciates it very much.

I do come to try to make a post in this thread at least once a day. It's my dear abby.. and really makes me feel better. I tell people at work that I quit and tell them the whole story why. May people are proud of me just like I am about myself. The enouragement helps a lot.

Bear, Thank you for all your support as well as everyone else!! You guys are all awesome!!!

CHEERS!!!
