I've been smoking since I was 11. Am now 35. Been trying to quit for forever. So I'm at the end of day 3 and didn't really feel like killing anyone today. Kept really busy all day though. Less time to think about it, I guess. Anyway, I've decided this has to be about the hardest thing I've ever done. And I've born children...anyone who's had children knows what I mean. lol Anyway, just thought maybe a little support and rapport from/with other former smokers might be a good thing.

Have a good evening all.

Just wanted to drop a note and let you know the first 3 days were the hardest for me. Not to say that was it - but, they were the hardest. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah, today makes day 13 for me and I feel great!!!!!

He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
