Ooooh, Toni thanks! I've heard about this book and my ex-husband swears that's how he quit smoking. I'll definitely get it!

I have been 4.5 years smoke free and trust me, if I can do it, anyone can! I LOVED smoking! I'd smoke first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Yes, once in a while I still miss it, but I don't miss the smelly breath, stinky clothes, looks and comments from people (especially my children), the nasty cough and frequent colds. I used the nicoderm inhaler and found it heaven sent. My hubby quit 3 months ago using it and his mood is so much better using it, than just going cold turkey. I personally think that smoking will be a much bigger challenge than drinking and I applaud you for doing both at once. Big hugs and smooches to you my friend, you can do this and we are all here to help you!

I had no idea you were a smoker, shocked the hell out of me. I had you up on a pedestal, our perfect Bariatric babe.

Seriously. You can do it.

I've been smoke free for over 2 years, was a 30 year smoker. Read the Book
The Easy Way to quit smoking" by allan Carr,
Fantastic book, you quit at the end of reading it.
I tried everything over the years and was surprised when this worked.

Drinking, well, that's another matter, i enjoy my occasional beverage.

take care Karen, we are here for you.

Everybody has said such eloquent and encouraging words. . . . and I can't think of anything to say that hasn't already been said. But, I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you.

I will be shaking my pom poms for ya! Raw! Raw! You go girl!
