Good goin', jer and shewolf and heeven and o'bill and anyone else who got through another day without a ciggie.
Trident gum has 'dentec' - you're supposed to chew two pieces after every meal and it's supposed to be better for your teeth than not doing it.
If you'd like to hear more of the 15,023 advertising 'facts' I've learned from reading labels since quitting smoking feel free to ask
and especially for jer ...
Good reasoning Shewolf. That oughta do it!
Thanks again ehBeth.
Too funny Jer
Rock on fellow non-smokers!
exellent mix of goodies. Where do buy it? hehe
<getting ready to pull out the needle and thread>
Good goin', jer!
Ya know.... I see all this food in this thread and I keep taking out my fork and knife so I can dig in, but there seems to be a piece of glass between me and this food? WTF?
hahahahah
My wife, Mrs. edgarblythe, has been smoke-free for about a week. She is holding up remarkably well. Of course, she had a chest infection of some kind and when she went to the doc he told her "Quit right now." Fright is one of the best methods to break an unhealthy habit. No patches required, just a desire to be well.
Here's to mrs edgarblythe !
Stopping in to pass out weekend gold stars for Obill, Jer, Heeven, Shewolf, and Mrs. E.B.
Way to go everybody.
Thanks Fox!
I hope everything's okay Edgar.
Go Mrs. EdgarBlythe!
Fine, Bill. Thanks for your concern.
A smile and good wishes to Mrs. Edgar too.
Edgar
Sheesch! Edgar, can't I be out of A2K for a while without your Mrs. getting sick? :wink:
Getting rid of the demon cigs should help both of you.
Wish her well for me.

OB
OB, I'm so relieved you are still behaving yourself. I was so worried while I was away from A2K that you would lose your stubborness, but I see you are still the old sweet rascal that we love.
BBB
OB lose his stubborness? No way. not possible . The only thing more stubborn is a jackass.. and I dont see 4 legs on him. HAHAH
Im still here, still going, though it isnt a hard fight , just a time that I really dont want to feel things. I really looked into why I wanted the cigs in the first place and I realized that what I was really looking for was a mute button for my anger and my embarassment. Since I dont do street drugs and i am not a big fan of booze.. smoking just seemed like a logical conclusion. It worked for the moment. It made me think about something else, calmed my nerves and slowed down my reality for about 2 hours.
I am glad that I dont still think I need a mute button or I would be in front of this computer for hours trying not to light up again. So.. I guess horray for me.. how ever many days it has been. :-)
I am glad to hear other people jumping on this bandwagon. ( Though it is getting pretty full! ) hheeehehe.
I wish your wife all the best Edgar. And you too. I am sure it is hard to have a doc tell your wife that she has to do something right away or it will be life altering. Between the two of you, you should make it out just fine and hopefully her withdrawl wont drive ya nuts! ;-) Best of luck and health to you both! I would offer chocolate stars... but I am in line for mine... and I am pretty greedy! hehee
Mrs. eb has only complained once, on the 4th day. She wanted a cig so bad she thought about having one a day to taper off. I didn't say yea or nay for fear of appearing a control freak. She got through the day and I don't think she has smoked. Her infection is long gone. It will be worth that bit of sickness to get her off the tobacco. I myself have been smoke free for about ten or eleven years. I know what people go through to quit.
