5. Yes, There's Less Smell
And when I wipe my nostrils, the tissue is no longer black.

7. Congrats!
This time of year, when I see people standing outside in 20 degree weather smoking, I always feel so happy that I quit.

9. 22 YEARS! It is possible. I've been lucky. I knew I was OK after 22 hours.

10. I'm almost at 8 months.
I was watching an older movie tonight, with lots of smoking in it, and I don't know how the hell I didn't snap.

Congrats on getting past a year, though. I hope you can keep it up. :thumbsup:

13. I quit smoking 27 years ago!
But I still bite my nails down to the quick.

What do you do now to satisfy your oral fixations??? (keep it clean, please:evilgrin: )

14. Good on you!
You know, you are saving your life and doing your future self a huge favor. Keep sticking with it. I didn't and flat lined almost 13 years ago. Never smoke since, never felt better with my second life. You're doing well.


:applause: :thumbsup: :bounce:
