YEAH FOR YOU! KTQ!!! (KEEP THE QUIT)

Me too. Been quit for 6 weeks!:)

Lost 8 pounds so far too, so don't believe all the crap about gaining a ton. I just really watch the food and exercise. It is so great to be a nurse that DOESN'T smoke!!

Good for you, I have never smoked so I can't know the addiction you face but I once had a patient that was a reformed heroine user tell me that it was easier to quit heroine than ciggies.

^5! To Granny!

I quit smoking 'cuz I started having bronchospasms. I still sometimes miss it, but the habit is not worth the sicknesses and eventual deaths it causes.

When people tell me they want to quit smoking, I ask them if I can pray for them. They tell me, "Yes", & then I lay hands on them & pray for them to be delivered from smoking, from nicotine & they tell me they never smoke again.

Greater Is He That Is In Me Than he That Is In The World.

GOOD!!!!! Congratulations. I just started smoking . . . .shame one me. I need to quit like right NOW!

I quit 3 years ago after smoking for about 30 yrs. Was hard, but I made it!!! What keeps me from starting again is now I can smell smoke on the clothes and in the hair of my grandkids (their parents smoke). It about breaks my heart! I couldn't smell it when I smoked. I also just lost my mother to emphysema, smoking-related. I did definitely increase my butt size, too, but that's alot less risky. I also don't miss trying to sneak out several times during my shift to puff, don't even think about it anymore. Thank God!!

CONGRATS

I quit 6 years ago. I too became part of the "wide Load" group for a while. Soon you can get it off. But I am one of the ones that will forever miss it . I do not miss the smell or the diminished exchange. But there are some days of stress that I do think of a cig. Just keep on trucking. I used the patches and Wellbuterin when I quit. It worked for me! Yea For You !!!

You should be so proud of yourself. Congrats.:)
