Well, I finally quit smoking. Yipee! I was _really_ sick this last week and was so sick I couldn’t stand to smoke. So I figured that if I could go without smoking for 5 days… why not just quit for good. So I did. ☹ Anyway, I just wanted to share the good news. Looks like I can start the timer on my SilkQuit clock now! And **Satan** , if you should happen to pop in, I tried to IM you on Yahoo but don’t know if I added your name correctly. Is there an ’ before the Neill? Hope you don’t mind if I IM you from time to time if I need some help or encouragement! ---

I quit smoking 2 years ago and I’ve never been happier with a decision. Everytime I walk by the smoking area at work I STILL think “WoW, I’m glad I quit smoking” ---

I quit three years and eight months ago after smoking for forty plus years. Look at the money I burned up and the time I wasted. You **can** quitand you will never be sorry that you did. We all wish you success. ---

I smoked for 20 years, then a friend of mine died of throat cancer. That was 12 years ago. Quitting smoking was the hardest thing I ever did, and the best thing I ever did. Be strong! ---

Good for you! I gave up when I worked in a gas station. It would creep me out when the other guys smoked near the pumps.
