Several months ago I decided April 1st was my quit smoking day. Obama has just given me even more incentive to succeed this time. I know April first seemed like a strange day to choose but I liked the irony of it. I must not be the only one who believes in irony. 😀
Here’s hoping for fine weather and clear sailing through the spring and summer. By fall I’ll have it kicked! You’ve had your warning, expect an even more grumpy me than normal for a few weeks.
Go ahead and be grumpy. I’m rooting for you, and my son-in-law, who gave it up starting the first day of lent, but 5 year old Wm. says he gave it up for life. Wm. asked me if I was going to give up art for lent. He has the part of the concept down where whatever you give up needs to be something that would be hard to do.
I don’t know of anything harder than giving up cigarettes. I wish you both success!
Thanks Karol! Here’s hoping we both make it. If he gave it up for lent, I hope he manages to keep up the momentum. I just need to walk around chanting ‘no stress, no stress’ and hope my computer behaves for a couple months 😉
I’m rootin’ for you, Sliloh. Remember, you’re not always smoking, even now. Just make more of those little not-smoking-right-now moments. (It worked for me.)
Anyhow, you have a loving support group here in the blogging world. 🙂

Yeah, I just need to keep my cool for a couple months and then it’ll be good 😉
Barb that is a fantastic idea!!! 😀
I’m not a smoker, so I can’t begin to imagine how hard it’s going to be. But, I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Are you using anything to help you stop? I see the billions of ads for aids to stop smoking, and I’ve always wondered if any of them are helpful.
Good luck!
Not looking forward to it but I’m going it cold turkey. There was a med mentioned when I was in a group and tried last fall but it sounded like bad news for me. http://www.sliloh.com/blog/quit-smoking/quitting-smoking/ So, I’ll just try to remain stress free for a few weeks and hopefully this time I’ll do it 😉
Mom you know I’m rooting for you 🙂 I know you can do it! Just call me anytime you feel the urge..ok well maybe not anytime but I’m here for ya!
No, no, no, you can’t take it back now! I’ll be calling you at 2am, 3am, 4am….:D I only have 4 days left…I think I’m getting stressed :p
