Thumbs up Today is....

10 MONTHS since I've had a cigarette!

In fact, it's Ten months, 45 minutes and 49 seconds nicotine free. That's 12121 cigarettes not smoked, saving $3,343.89. Life saved: 6 weeks, 2 hours, 5 minutes.

Nais gadol haya po -- a great miracle is happening here!

L'Chaim!
To Life!

Congratulations Teach!

We are so pleased that you have hung in there and stayed smoke free. I know it has been tough at times. As the old saying goes, nothing worth doing is easy.

Again, congratulations.

You know it!!! TEN MONTHS SMOKE FREE!!! You've been my inspiration, knowing you are ahead of me doing it too! Keep up the great work.

Whenever those thoughts of smoking come...make sure you out of your thoughts!!! Making it through one day at a time, smoke free and no longer a prisoner to pack and lighter!!!

Way to go!! I'm so proud of you!!!
