Woo Hoo! Congrats! I never was a smoker really. I asked my mom one day when she had a whole bunch of friends over smoking what she was doing and so she put a cig. in my mouth lit it and told me to suck in. She never told me to breathe out and I never did! I turned green literally. I think she was hoping that if I got sick on it that I wouldn't want it. The thing is for quite a while after I would light her cigs then eventually I would light them and take a puff before giving them to her and so on. About 18 years ago I was down to 4 cigs a year then about 10 years ago I was down to 1 a year. I haven't smoked since. My hubby smokes enough for the two of us though! :)

Congratulations! I have been hospitalized a few times in smoking life and thought after several days of not being able to, I would quit. No such luck. I would just dream of smoking while I was in the hospital. I've also had several cases of strep throat and brochitis, never stopped me. So I'm just relying on the "right time" to go cold turkey. Pray for me jajallena, I'm very proud of you myself!
