Shameless Self Promotion - I QUIT SMOKING!!!!

[LawnDart21 0]

Okay, so not too much to brag about up here in ice cold Boston these days........But I did manage to quit smoking on New Years Eve, 10 days and counting and still haven't fallen off the horse. I think my exit weight has gone up 5 pounds since then, but atleast I don't smell like an ashtray anymore. Peace!

Way to go! Stick with your resolution, and I'll buy you beer if you ever make it to FL.
Cool picture too!

Thanks Clay & Skymama, 'cause I'd never turn away a free...I feel compelled to tell you Skymama that I'll be in Lake Wales, FL the 24th-27th of January with a Skydive Pepperell mini new england boogie. If that's your home DZ, I love Corona!

You Corona will be ice cold....if you can make it up to Deland! Andrea

Hey look at ALLLLLLL the money your saving!!!!! I'm not just talking about money on smokes but money on a new canopy. Instead of having to go smaller to go faster just gain a few more pounds to make you wing load heavier!!! Who needs to down size your chute when you can up size your body

Now that's impressive.
I've learned not to pay any attention to anyone who says they just quite smoking because every single last one of them is an incurable junkie who starts up again in a few weeks or months or whatever.
10 days without a cigarrette. I'm not impressed. And I'm not going to be encouraging. Smokers do little to encourage me while they poison me with their second hand smoke and ashtray breath.

Thank you for not breathing while I smoke......"I got some beers....Let's Drink em!!!"

[soapbox]Geez! How 'bout a little credit for someone even trying? Obviously you're way above ever having been addicted to anything. If you haven't been there you have no right to talk.[/soapbox]

I think what he's trying to say is he NEVER does anything EVER that's offensive to other people.
Oh, except that post.
Pet me! I'm harmless and cute!

In response to Apoil's less than positive remarks, all I can think to do is to quote the movie "Singles".....LOL

Well done LD.
Im into my 3 week now and everything is smelling so much better. Food tastes better and believe it or not I have lost 8 pounds.
Everytime I have tried to give up I gain the weight, so this time I have found the most disgustand Im doing this at the same time.

The things I'm addicted to, I either remain addicted to, or I quit.
When I quit I didn't go begging for attention after only 10 days.
No 12 step programs for me... one step - I quit. And that was it.
