I gave them up on Feb. 8, 2010 the day after the SB. I have not touch a cig. sense that day. People say you will feel so much better but I have not noticed that other then not coughing as much. I have gained some weight and do eat more. I finally got my buddy to quit and he has gone 7 weeks and we talk each day to encourage each other to not smoke. At this point I don't need encouragement but I don't let him know that. I always thought this smoke out thing was pretty stupid and still do.

First you stopped killing your lungs and gave them a chance to heal. Perhaps you aren't seeing immediate positives, but its great for the long run.

I have not been a regular smoker since January of last year. I make very long spells with no cigs at all, but unfortunatley, time to time i do have 1 or 2, only when i am drinking or around my dad. I wish i could find a long term way to never have another 1.

Never needed cigs in my life! My family has enough health issues without inviting smoking into the picture.

BJs are basic wifely duties and they are non-negotiable. You better man-up before she forces you to start wearing the skirt in the house.
