You go girl! Don't look back. Generations of future Penelope Greys will be ever thankful.

Well the first hurdle is done. I went Sunday smoke-free! Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, I am expecting to be a doddle but when Saturday comes around next, I will have to watch my step.

Good luck and keep at it!

I'm ever thankful that I've never even been tempted to smoke, though my dad's been there when he was my age, and my brother's girlfriend's been there not too long ago, and both of them pulled through and quit.

Good idea starting this thread too. Helps kind of keep yourself in check with all the people watching/wondering :p

Well; Penelope, I have faith in you. Good luck.

Just remember, nothing worthwhile is ever easy.

If it helps, Pearly whites are hard to see through yellow stains.

GOOD!!! KEEP GOING!!!

In fact, take this advice: If for some reason you find a pack of ciggerettes in your house, take them into your back yard and set them on fire (In a fire pit, of course). Run quickly back into your house to watch them burn, with you free of smoke. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

Best reason for a young girl is you won't get that old wrinkled skin some smoking woman's have?

Penelope_Grey · 05-19-07, 05:22 PM

So far so good, I have made it through satuday, was there in my mind, cigar... smoke.... mmmm smoke....

But no, I have resisted. and I am feeling throughly happy.

What Neal said, your young, hell i thought you were a 20+ yr smoker or something. You should have no trouble giving up smoking, its when your into your 15-20th yr smoking then you start climbing the walls when trying to give up.

Anyways keep it up your do it easily.

U-533 · 05-20-07, 07:02 AM

I remember when I quit...

I smoked for 27 years...

Smoke free for 8 years now...

Some times I still fight the urge ... Especially when things get rough.

Like when my boat almost capsized in a storm Thursday. Afterward (when my butt was pried from my seat) I thought a smoke would be nice but ... I resisted

Hang in there woman!
