Can?t believe I?m here...

Hey Steve...

I care and like Todash said, your 3 kiddos REALLY care! I cared when my father smoked. I cared so much I turned into a great smoker just like him!!! Now he's dead... the big "C" got him. There was one good thing that came out of that... I did quit smoking! I'm hoping that you will jump back in here with us and become a great non-smoking role model for your children. It may make all the difference in the world to your kids when they grow up and that first cancer stick is offered to them!!! Something to think about...

Steve, it takes time to really get this quitting thing down. You have got to want it more than you've ever wanted anything! The thing is, it is doable... I have proven that! I did it because I don't want cancer... Do you?

Just keep thinking about it. When you are ready, commit and re-commit every day! We'll be here to offer that hand when you need it! Yes, I know your children DO care, as I cared about my father. Dad finally quit, but he had to die to do that! You don't have to die to do it. You got the hardest part of the quit under your belt once. You can do this! Crave the quit, buddy!

Orinoco,

Don't give up now, everyone is rooting for you! Lapses do occur, moments of weaknesses happen but you can right back to it and conquer the nicodemon. I actually had noticed you hadn't posted in a while and was wondering how you were doing with your quit. We do need you here, stay close!

...erm...the three smiling faces in that photo would care, is my guess. Failure is easy - it eliminates fear, it makes change unnecessary. Succeeding in quitting smoking is quite straightforward - you have to want to quit more than you want to smoke. You have to be willing to face your fear, your insecurities, and want to change your life forever. It's horrible to want - this is addiction. Be stronger than that. It's you vs. your addiction. Fight hard, friend. You can win this. x T

Don't beat yourself up, just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start over, you won't regret it! It's not easy, no one says that it is but you won't regret the pain and suffering you have to go through in order to make your quit happen.

One of my favorite quotes for you: "I'd rather be an ex-smoker occasionally thinking of smoking than a smoker constantly thinking of quitting" .... think about it, it's true isn't it?

Remember the reasons why you wanted to quit....

You can do this!

Lots of people would care. The quote of the day is "to get what you want stop doing what isnt working" (or something like that), then just do it. You have been giving support to many people and you know it, you have been doing so well, wise people are those who rectify, everybody makes mistakes and everybody gives a step backwards sometimes, but if you know you are in the wrong direction is easy to go towards the right one. Who said it would be easy? Anyway, I care.

Congrats! And don't give those days back. Believe me, you'll care. A very wise man said recently, The first cigarette may or may not be enjoyable. But one thing's for sure, the next cigarette will not be.

First of all , congratulations on your 48 days!!

And second you would care. Remember you can control the first cigarrette. You can decide to smoke it or not. You won't be able to do that with the second one. Back to nicodemon slavery!

Keep the quit!

Sorry guys,

I fired one up and I have to admit it, I enjoyed it. You don´t need me here, I suppose I´m just not ready to call it a day yet.

You will care! You know it will never be just one. One will lead to another and another. The only way to be free of this addiction is to not have a smoke again. Not even one.

You can do this! You deserve a big reward for getting through today. What will it be?
