[kstaven]

Just finished morning milking and just about to step out to stock up on gum.

Good Morning All! I just signed in to the other forum. Geesh now it looks as though I will be addicted to 2 forums!

I'm SO done being a BUTTHEAD!

I'm not a smoker, but congrats to all of you who are wanting to quit!!

For the BYCers in NY state, there is a program called NY Quits, and they give you FREE nicotine patches, gum, lozenges, coaching and support:

Even if you're not a NYer, please visit the site. There are links to other quitting programs, including the one from the American Lung Association.

You're all too important to your loved ones to shorten your life. Don't give up, even if you fall off the wagon, get back on.

Here's a little inspiration for you:

OH MY.........was starting to think I might need to take up chain smoking instead of trying to quit!!! We have had severe storms all day. HARD rain and very strong winds, some hail lots of lightening and thunder. *SIGH* Let us not forget 3 young children off school and trapped in this not so large house with me all day!!! Thankfully, my porch doesn't get too wet even in those conditions so even though I haven't smoked more than normal I have had my designated cigs today.

NOW, however, the sun is shining and it stopped raining. I just took a swim (my back yard doesn't handle rain well) out to check on the chickens who all seem to have handled the cruddy weatehr better than me. They weren't even smoking!!!! LOL

Ohhhhhhh.......and I am really proud of myself for this so I just gotta brag!!!! In the past couple of weeks I have been working on my eating habits (not easy this time of year) and I have lost 5 pounds. Planning quite a bit more and really wanted to get started BEFORE the 1st when it will be harder. Maybe. I have a friend who lost weight when she quit smoking because smoking and food were a natural combination to her.

Oh to be so lucky!!!!

How is everyone else doing so far?????????

Sorry about the bad weather Christy...

that's good you haven't been smoking your normal amount of cigs
we don't expect for anyone to stop right off the back anyway this will be a long process one we will all enjoy

and that's wonderful!!!!! with the weight loss Congrats!!

i am glad your chickens are ok and not smoking LOL yea smoking seems to go well with food so i have heard from many that's why not all gain weight when quitting

!!

Thanks, Mark.

I figured I better not take a chance on gaining a ton the first week I stop smoking wihtout doing something about it FIRST!!!! I plan to get a bunch of lemon drops which are my favorite hard candy. Was thinking jelly bellies but since they are chewy I would just sit around and eat them by the millions!!! LOL I jokingly told my husband I was going on a new diet. I said I was going to sit on the couch and eat bon-bons all day and see how much weight I could gain in a year. He sweetly said "that's alright honey, I know a good divorce lawyer". LOL

I always smoke right after I eat so maybe I will have an easier time of it. I also smoke right after I shower (I know, strange) but I don't think I will stop showering!!! LOL
