Mister Ed - what a wonderful idea! 1. The pleasure I see in my little girl's eyes each time she remembers - mommy doesn't smoke anymore. 2. Choosing something, anything else over my cigarettes. I look back now and realize how many times I told my baby you can't be next to mamma now, I am smoking; or, as soon as mommy smokes I will do this or that. I chose cigarettes over everything else. Now I am choosing the important things first. 3. I am not ashamed anymore. I was always ashamed that I stunk like cigarettes. Now that I don't smoke and I smell other smokers I realize how much more ashamed I would have been had I known just how horrible I did smell. 4. My strength in my quit led my husband by example to quit with me. Wow....I could go on and on. New quitters, I know it is a horrible horrible addiction and it feels like you are giving up your best friend at the beginning, like you just cannot do this, but you can. It is the most important thing I have ever done in my life, or I guess you could say "for" my life. Please hang on. It does get easier. Fight through the craves one day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time if you have to. The craves go away. The pride you will feel when you have that first full day when you realize, "Hey, I didn't have a crave all day" is wonderful. YOU CAN DO IT!

WooooHoooo for Sue too! I feel like the chains have been taken off of me. Cigarettes do not control my life. I do not have to feed the addiction every 30 minutes so I have so much more time to do things for ME and the people I love!!!

For me finally getting off my high blood pressure meds, I have been on them for over 5 years. Since I quit smoking, I have lost 20 pounds and just this week was able to get off my bp meds - can I get a woooohoooooooo? The other biggie for me is my increased energy, stamina - and general well being. I feel great. this is the best thing I ever did for my health :) Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 89 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 890 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $155.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 8 [B]Hrs:[/B] 12 [B]Mins:[/B] 34 [B]Seconds:[/B] 39

Hey...great post Mr Ed, Mine are: 1)....Knowing this pleased God 2)....Having a sense of "being" I was always doing...and could never "JUST BE" 3)....having a tremendous amount of self respect 4)....The paradigm.. "I can't change"... is broken and now I can do ANYTHING!!!

For me it is the freedom. The freedom to go where and when I want to and not plan for a smoke. The freedom to go out and eat and be seated in the non-smoker area ;p The freedom to not feel shame for smoking. The freedom for more quality time to do those things that use to interfer with my smoking. I don't have to go outside to smoke anymore, I can go outside because that is what I want to do. No more waking up in the middle of the night to smoke. I could go on and on, but will stop for now.
