For those of you that are taking the 'plunge', congrats, I hope it works for

you. It's so nice for me to get up in the morning and take in a big breath

without immediately coughing my head off. That's what I did for the whole

time I smoked. Betty quit on Dec 23, 1988, and I quit in March of 1989,

using Nicorette gum. The bad part of that is you're not supposed to chew it,

only enough to expose 'new' gum to set in the cheek or under the tongue. I'd

forget while working and start chewing like it was only gum, and overload

myself with nicotine with terrible indigestion! After 2 months, I quit that

too and have been since then. It's well worth the effort!

Clora,

You are too sweet and making me blush! One thing that I didn't do is

tell my granddaughter. I want to surprise her. She hates it terribly

and was so happy when I bought my last car (slightly used, can't

afford new) and implemented the rule No Smoking in it.

She hates that it gets in her hair and clothes. I have done her a

great injustice, even though she can be a big brat at times!

Dennis,

I am so proud of everyone who kicked the nicotine addiction. You are

proof that we can do it. I know how difficult it was, since this

will be my third attempt.

Clora, when my office was rearranged and my Technical supervisor moved in

with me, I told him he could smoke all he wanted, but he couldn't exhale. He

got the message. lol

Thanks, Shirley. I did have extra support from my bride. We even had to take

out the wood heater and put in propane. After her bout of pneumonia that

caused her to quit so suddenly, she couldn't stand any obnoxious smells. It

did change our lives for the better.

Clora, make sure you use crushed ice, and just let it melt in your

mouth instead of chewing it. You don't want to break a tooth.

You're telling me, I hear it from everyone too. Oh what a surprise

it will be for her. Sometimes we tend to spoil our grandkids. That

is so sweet for you to do that for her. I hope they do the same for

me when I quit. IN fact I am going to request no one smoke around mw

while I am quitting because it will be to much temptation for me lol.

Woo hoo you're a QUITTER. Thanks so much. Maybe when we do take the

plundge it will be better if we can refraim from mentioning smoking

if its at all possible.

Me and Shirley is taking that plundge November 20, haaaaaa this year

yes. And please keep the suggestions coming till than too. I think I

will try the nicotene gum too if I can with the stuff I am taking and

the patches haaaaaaaaaa. I know we cant do them all. Got to pick one.

I tried the nicotene gum no wonder it didnt work. I would chew it

right away. thanks again Dennis

Dennis I don't blame you. I guit for 3 years and never realized how

bad we smelled. How every room we smoked in smelled like a dirty ash

tray. I try to tell my hubby but he didnt understand. He did respect

me and not smoke around me. Maybe he will quit this time too.

When I quit smoking, I didn't say anything to anybody; I just let them

figure it out. I was amazed to see how long it took them to see that I

was no longer smoking, even my husband, who lives here in the house

with me, LOL.

When I went to my mother's for the first time after quitting, I didn't

tell her, either. She went all day and hadn't noticed it. Then when my

husband came back from wherever, he said, " What do you think about Sue

quitting smoking? " I could have whacked him, because I was going to see

just how long it took her to notice.

Sue sometimes when we are under stress we tend to not see the things

going on around us. We can be stressed and not share it with

others. Don't feel bad cause she didnt notice. I didnt mention my

birthday one year. Usually they have surprise parties for me.

I waited all day told only my boyfriend. Finally at the end of the

day I went over mom and dads and said where is the surprise party.

They said (lol) " What surprise party. " I hollerd my surprise party

lol. They said " yours " MY BIRTHDAY PARY. They looked at each other

and and told me how sorry they was for forgetting. I was beside my

self with hurt.

I am ok now lol. But I learned a big lesson. I am sure your mom was

busy with much thought on something very important. Oh they would

know I wasnt smoking cause Its the first thing they tell me everytime

they see me. But I Have only told my mom and daughter I wont say any

thing else about it. Don't worry I wont be upset if they don't

notices.

I am sure you wasnt upset if your mom didnt notice also.

PS I finsished up all my posts that I was behind on and did the ones

that were new. I rock.
