Now that you got our attention!!!!!!!!!<BR>Congratulations!!!!!!!!!<BR>Good going and all that great stuff!!!!!!!! <P>My dad quit in January of 1992 after I told him I wouldn't let my newborn daughter come around him when he was smoking and he hasn't touched a cigarette since. He smoked for 28 years, probably about 2-3 packs a day(he rolled his own so it was hard to keep track).Just so you know it is possible.<p>[This message has been edited by untallnikba (edited November 19, 1999).]

Congratulations! This is good news. Once you get over the addiction, you can look forward to feeling better, living longer, and having more money to spend on other things.

Great Chris!!!!!!<BR>Interesting how many of us had quit and started again at discovery of the affair.<BR>I'm affraid Im also one of those. I wasn't smoking for over a year. On the day that eveything came in the open I just rememeber start looking for a cigarret and even finding quite strange that I didn't have any, I didn't even remember I had quit. Have been smoking again ever since, but I hope to be able to be strong like you and let the kids smash it too [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Have a good weekend<BR>Kat<P>------------------<BR>Each and everyone of us is deserving of a kind word, a gentle thought, and the gift of understanding.

Good for you Chris!!!! I hadn't smoked in almost 10 years and it was the first thing I looked for when this rollercoaster started. Now I smoke more than I ever did. Not ready to quit just yet. But I am trying to at least watch the drinking.

Well fudge, I thought we were going to get to flame and kick your butt!<P>Boy am I dissappointed! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>I didn't know you smoked, if I did you would have quit a long time ago. How do I know? Because I know you've got what it takes. I've seen your story and see where you are, and I know...
