Default One on One

To quote an old cliche, I wish I could bottle and sell the way I feel
this morning - wow - amazing. Not wishing to sound like an anorak or a
show off either, but I go swimming regularly and have done for some
time, smoking or non smoking, less or more. Today I swam 20 lengths
more than I usually do in just a couple of minutes more than my usual
routine - it was easy and afterwards I felt like I could run a
marathon! Admittedly I have been on a bit of a health kick this past
week - it has helped greatly to take the focus off quitting.

I can honestly say that today I have never felt happier or healthier
in my recent memory - and I know its only very early days - I am not
going to let this one slip.

Anyone who is out there lurking and just thinking about doing it,
please DO - its WORTH it - it gets BETTER and better every day - IF
YOU LET IT!

I also wanted to show off my meter - I think it looks kinda neat
today ;o)

Glad you had this out-of-smoking experience. Keep up the good work.
That goes for Cindy too.

By the way 20 length = how many meters? or yards? and did you wear
the anorak?

Thank you all so for your lovely messages. I have been AWOL this
weekend due to unforseen circumstances ... my very happy day Friday
ended with a celebration with my SO who has also quit with me and we
had our first bottle of wine since we quit. Late on in the evening I
decided to see if my laptop would like to join in the toast - my
laptop does not like wine - my laptop is more than a just little
sick right now.

My quit money has all been spent now and some on a new PC this weekend
- we are in the process of setting it up now - thank god we saved all
this money so far!

Turned out to be a rather expensive bottle of wine considering it was
on special!

Love all of you lovely people at AS3

No matter what I aint going to smoke

Karen

I haven't got my meter back yet but I quit on 30 March 2008 at 6pm so
I am approx one month, one week, 3 days and some hours quit saving
some money minus cost of a new PC

Sometimes we need to reward ourselves a little bit more than the meter
says .. personally I think we should start with an account of $1000 or
so just getting through the first week!

Thank you for all of you feel-good happiness! Stephanie

I can't remember where I got my QuitTime meter...but you can get one
just like it at:

Please note: I did some editing (which is somewhat easy).

thanks Wayne I tried it but Vista didn't seem to like it - I've gone
back to my old faithful (silkquit) which is also editable but
obviously not idiot proof as the wrong bits kept disappearing on me -
I'll stick with what I'm getting good at - not smoking

That's good. It means no matter what happens...at the end of the
day you can feel a sense of pride and satisfaction in that you
didn't smoke today. Good stuff.

If you want to get rid of that lap top, I would like to get it. I can
usually get them back and running again. If the screen doesn't work, it
doesn't matter about that. E-mail me off the group or over on myspace. I
think I have you on my friends list.
