~\ Two years *2 YEARS* not smoking

[underpants]

:wow:

Two years ago today we brought Josie home from the hospital I went out on the back stoop had one last sweet sweet Marlboro Red threw away the rest of the pack and wake up the next morning (Aug.3rd) and put on a patch and started chewing Orbit gum like crazy.

After 22 years of smoking aaaaahhhh the good times



Anyway-TWO YEARS. Nine mile run tomorrow. 99 days to Marathon day.

YEAH ME!

I realized that this morning.

We must be bad bad parents.

7. Yay! I remember that -- I can't believe it's been that long!

Good for you.

12 1/2 years and counting for me. Now, I have to work on Haruka.

[ThomCat]

8. That is awesome! Congratulations!

Good luck with that Marathon! :)

[underpants]

11. I expect much pain

but I hear it is a hoot to run. Lots of food and lots of fun.

[LynneSin]

13. Congrats!!!

Josie will appreciate what you've done!

[YankeyMCC]

14. Well done! nt

[yellowdogintexas]

16. Fantastic! and wonderful for you and your family

congratulations on the 9 mile and the Marathon.

[MissMillie]

17. that is so awesome

I have never met anyone who quit smoking and ended up regretting it. It looks like you're putting your lungs to good use now.

And I'm sure Josie loves you for not polluting her air. (I'm sure she loves you for a lot of reasons, but that's one of them.)

Good work!

18. 18 months since I kissed that beautiful green pack

of Kools goodbye for good.

Congrats to you!

[underpants]

20. AAaaaa the sweet sweet green pack

Just kidding.

I have to admit that as all consuming as it was...I rarely even think about it. I actually notice when I see people smoking. There seems to be very few of them.

[xmas74]

21. I notice quite a few smokers where I work

but supposedly Missouri has a higher than average percentage of smokers than other states.

[UrbScotty]

34. Good for you as well!

:-)

[xmas74]

40. And thank you.

It was hard and I gained about twenty pounds once I revived my taste buds-twenty pounds I'm working hard to take off.

[supernova]

19. Congratulations, Underpants!

Wow! That was two years ago?

I remember you saying you were quitting, so where did the time go?

[LaraMN]

22. You rule, Underpants!

It's damn hard to do!

Congrats on two years!

[BarenakedLady]

23. Yay you!

Is right! That's quite an accomplishment. Congratulations!

:yourock:

[bigwillq]

24. Good for you!

Congrats! :toast:

[Roon]

25. Feb 25th was my two year milestone

I STILL dream that I am smoking.

[underpants]

26. HA! My wife does that

Good for you. Congrats.

[Roon]

29. Thanks!

Congrats to you too!

[Crazy Dave]

27. About seven years for cigarettes

But in about an hour I'm gonna smoke me a really great cigar.

[Beausoir]

28. Huge congratulations. Don't you just feel wonderful! I quit for 12 years and then....

made a terrible mistake.

Now, I'm back smoking again and I hate myself.

Never EVER think you are out of the woods.

[Inchworm]

30. You Rock!

:yourock:

I'll get there one day!

Time Smoke-Free: 26 days, 13 hours, 6 minutes and 8 seconds
Cigarettes NOT smoked: 1062
Lifetime Saved: 8 days, 2 hours
Money Saved: $156.00

Had some rough days but it gets easier every day!

:hi:

[underpants]

31. Yes it is easier every day

but as posted right above this don't ever think you are out of the woods.

Great job!

I can't even imagine smoking now.

[Shine]

32. Congrats on your commitment to Health and Well-Being, underpants!!

:yourock:

btw, have you tried the Mojito-mint flavored Orbit gum yet? My kids just turned me on to it. Yummy!

:hi:

[underpants]

35. A little too minty for me

but the Raspberry is quite good. And the Lime/Cirtus mix (1 each) is still awesome.

[Shine]

36. I am a mojito freak, so the mint action works great for me

i'll have to check out the raspberry someday. I've tried the lime one and it's OK.

33. Howard says "YEARGH!"

Which roughly translates to "Way to go!"

37. WTG underpants

The end of July marked two years tobacco free for me as well. I have full blown emphysema but strangely feel great. Hang in there.

Woof

[underpants]

39. Good for you

:hi:

[IndianaJones]

38. Cut taxes on cigarettes now! nt.

[bamacrat]

41. Good for you, my dad has been quit for almost 7.

Its tough I know. Isn't it crazy that something as deadly and addictive as tobacco is perfectly legal yet pot is not? Doesnt make sense.
