I'm sure there are some like that.......I needed all the help I could get here. I DID just throw them out but I had no plan....other than to not smoke anymore. This place gave me the tools and resources and MOST of all help that I needed.
My exercise program is beginning now.......after I've Quit. I'm going to be walking a LOT more in my new hobby, metal detecting. Walking, bending, squatting all good things for me. Thankfully I have only gained about 12 lbs.
Thank you for the info Ashley and for letting us see you along with the others. You are all a fantastic bunch of people.......
Keeping the Quit
Huggggg and coooookies

My Quit Date: 1/27/2009 Smoke-Free Days: 121 Cigarettes Not Smoked: 3,630 Amount Saved: $508.20 Life Gained: Days: 25 Hrs: 10 Mins: 2 Seconds: 40
More than 90 percent of former smokers quit on their own, by throwing away all their cigarettes, by gradually cutting down, or by first switching to a less potent brand. One characteristic of successful quitters is that they see themselves as active participants in health maintenance and take personal responsibility for their own health. Often they experiment with a variety of strategies, such as learning relaxation techniques. Exercise has proven especially effective for quitting and avoiding weight gain. Making a home a smoke-free zone also increases a smoker’s likelihood of successfully quitting.
