I bought a pack of Marlboro and stashed in my freezer because I know the stress will get to me at least a few times before I can say I’m clean free. My objective is to never finish that pack of smokes. I’ve been averaging a pack a day since I was 12… over 41 yeas ago. I think it’s time. -- You can collect dust or you can make dust.

Smokes are really tough! You are in my thoughts! Good luck! Maybe this quote will help:—“Ted – The best things in life are not free… they require patience, commitment and devotion.” -- Mike - Northern Upper Michigan |

We’ll do it together Ted. I’m 3 months smoke free. It hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it…... -- My mind is like lighting, one brilliant flash, then its gone..... |

Marty.. that’s awesome! I have no doubt it will be worth it. Let’s turn that 3 months into 3 years. Mike, I’m lucky in that I don’t go to pubs and most of my friends don’t smoke. Randy, thanks for the suggestion but I’ll just throw it on the bookshelf and never get around to reading it. I know myself that well ;) Yes Don, we all do…. Maybe that’s what I need is to find a better addiction. -- You can collect dust or you can make dust. I choose to make it. |

I was a three pack a day smoker for 32 years.(thanks to Uncle Sam and Vietnam) Smoke free since April 15,1999. When wifey and I got married I promised her I would quit but not to bug me about it. She didn’t and I did! -- Life is good. |
