I made three weeks today and was over the moon with it!! Later we had to take my 11 year old son to hospital for what our own Doctor said was an ingrowing toenail - to cut the story short it wasn't it was worse and needs an operation to remove the growth. This just tipped me and I went to my hubbies cig packet and took one out and put it in my mouth - - - I then took it out and put it back in the packet and walked away. You may ask what is good about that - well the fact I had the willpower not to lite it, the fact I saw sense and realised that one cig would not help my little boy, that one cig could lead to more and shorten my life and leave my little boy without a Mum. I now know that I can definatley do this, before I was just trying and aiming to finish each day without a cig, now I'm aiming to live the rest of my life without a cig and I'm going to achieve it.

Thanks to all of you I still can't quiet believe I didn't lite it, but it is the most important choice I have ever made. Today has been HELL at work but I won't give in, not for anything. To everyone out there who is thinking of lighting one up - DON'T IT WON'T TAKE AWAY THE STRESS IT WILL ONLY MASK IT AND YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT Joanne ps - my son is going to be fine and we have been told the growth is nothing to worry about - thank god [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 5/3/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 22 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 564 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] �110 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 1 [B]Hrs:[/B] 23 [B]Mins:[/B] 42 [B]Seconds:[/B] 31

Joanne -- Not only do I understand how great that was, I'd deliver a double-fudge brownie sundae to you myself if there weren't that great big ocean in the way. Good for you, good for your family!

Joane, I am so proud of you for doing that. I know how that must make you feel, it is like biting off the devils head and spitting it out onto the floor. It is very symbolic and strengthens our resolve - well done!
