Hi Traci, I too have lost loved ones who smoked and still have loved ones smoking. It is a powerfull addiction. One I am trying to break. You know how hard it is to quit with all the information available to us today. That information was not available then. Be thankful you now see.

Thank you for sharing that, Traci. You are very courageous and caring to put that out there. When we know better, we do better. Sue said it, I can only re-inforce it. Your dad is proud of you.

Good post, It is only a downer if that's the way you view it. I will take the positives from it as should you and I can tell that you have reaped a positive benefit just by getting it out there. Well done! Also, congratulations on completing your first week. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/18/2004 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 1195 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 23,900 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �5,975.00 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 191 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 59 [B]Seconds:[/B] 27

Hi Traci On the contrary, your post will fortify the resolve of many. We need to keep in mind just how bad smoking is and you have solidified that message. Never a downer Traci as we are all part of this support group. Thank you for the reminder!

Hey Traci, thanks for sharing that. I think we all have memories, I know John and I do, and we smoked through those moments crazy as it was to do so. The important thing is today and tomorrow - what we do. I know my Dad, is smiling at me from Heaven as is John's and yours. take care Sue [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]5/3/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 114 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 1,140 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $199.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 10 [B]Hrs:[/B] 21 [B]Mins:[/B] 44 [B]Seconds:[/B] 57

I usually don't "go there" - to that place inside that we all have and protect but tonight for some reason I really feel like sharing. This one is more for me than anything - my last one week reward, but the one that means the most. I lost my biological father 22 years ago in October. I identify him as "biological" because he didn't raise me and we weren't that close until the end. But the end is what matters. My secret demon that I have carried with me since then is that I still smoked after I saw the way he died. It wasn't the cancer or the pain he suffered (although that was bad) - it was the smoking I remember. He smoked 3 packs a day forEVER - When he entered the hospital for the last time the doctor finally quit arguing about his smoking - what was the point, it wouldn't be long anyway. So near the end, when he couldn't get out of bed to have a cigarette and couldn't talk, he would put his fingers to his lips and the nurses would turn the oxygen off and light a cigarette for him - just so he could get his "fix". The fact that I SAW that and it made me physically ill and yet I still started smoking and kept doing it is how I know that nicotine is one powerful force. The fact that I acknowledge my shame in continuing to smoke and forgive myself is how I know I HAVE QUIT! If we all close our eyes for just one second and put that image in your mind... well, N.O.P.E. seems pretty easy. Thanks - promise to not be such a downer, this has just been eating at me all day. :( [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B]8/18/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 7 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 140 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $31.50 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 17 [B]Mins:[/B] 58 [B]Seconds:[/B] 50
