Congratulations on being smoke free.
I trust you is a better compliment than I love you, because you may not trust the person you love, but you can always love the person you trust. - UnknownRelationships are like sharing a book, it doesn't work if you're not on the same page.

Great job 
P.S. I totally get this:
I still love the smell of cigarette smoke and will practically sit in our smoking friends lap when they light up
The only problem is that it makes me crave one

I needed this today. I quit on April 15 (no aids, just plain cold turkey) and had a really bad craving today that lasted almost the whole afternoon. I almost bought a pack on my way home but I resisted.
Time to throw another $7.50 in my Italy jar.

Just awesome!
Proud of both of you!!!
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

That is awesome!
8 years ~ way to go!
Son #1 quit a year and a half ago, but occasionally cheats with an Old Port Colt (cigar?).
Son #2 still smokes, but has cut back.
H and I can't stress enough how much healthier they both would be AND save money!

That is awesome!
My grandmother quit smoking after having smoked for 20+ years. She never "cheated", but kept a crushed up cigarette in a ziplock bag in a drawer. Every now and then she would just sniff the bag.

You give me hope...I'm down to one pack a day give or take a few cigs. That money figure is looking soooooo good...and, of course, the health benefits!
PS...did you go 'cold turkey'?
