OH YEAH!!! It has been 100 days since I have had a cigarette or dip. I can't believe how much better I feel mentally and physically. Those that are thinking about quitting, know that it can be done.

There is no such thing as "I'll have just one." I tried that dozens of times and it simply did not work for me.

One thing that has really, really helped is a tally board. I have a white board in my room where I keep a running tally of the days it has been since I quit smoking. Whenever I wanted a smoke or dip, I went and looked at that board and thought about how much it would suck to have to start all over again for a few minutes of pleasure and a lot of guilt.

I'm sure a lot of you are thinking, if i quit I'm gonna gain 20 or 30 lbs. I used this excuse for way to long. Just dont stuff crap in your face to replace the cigarettes. I have gone through 1,000's of tooth picks and a S-load of gum. :laugh:

So for those of you still lighting up, good luck if you are going to try to put down one of the worst habits possible and add years to your life!
