Jak, hang in there girlfriend.....I know you can do it!!! On the 18th, it will be seven years for me. Once you get through the first 10 days it will be much better. After the first month that I had quit, you couldn't pay me to smoke and the longer you have been quit the nastier they smell....you will see what I mean before long!

Hang in there Jak you can do it. I managed three years ago last month. That was after smoking for almost 40 years and trying to give up more times than I care to remember. My OH did it at the same time, which was a big help, and he smoked more than I did.

Just found your blog through verses for cards site.

congratulations on giving up smoking keep up the good work and take one day at a time. I have never smoked but my mother did and she gave up when I was expecting my first child and that was 22 years ago!

You can do it with a little help from your friends

Jak, that is SOOOOOOOO awesome!!!! You should be incredibly proud of yourself!! That is wonderful! When DH quit, he loved sucking on Jolly Ranchers. I'm cheering for you! :>

Well done Jak...keep going. Just think how many more pennies you will have to spend on craft stuff..or even your forthcoming granchild! Kids are expensive and grandparent are supposed to spoil 'em rotten.

Good for you. I understand you will feel so much better once you get over the hump. I do recommend you use a doctor approved cessation aid like nicotine replacement if possible. Cold turkey isn't as statistically successful as doing it with help. Best wishes, Rebecca, RN

After smoking more than 25 years I gave up smoking a little more than 6 years ago so I know and understand how very verrrrrrry difficult it is for you and those around you.

Take one day at a time and keep up the good work

Hi Jak, love your bee's bums. I made a cosmos by cutting off the wings, hows that for cruelty,
I'm hoping you win over the smoking love, boy is it hard, but I won so did my DH. both big smokers. Thinking of you.
My regards and my love. XsueX
