Thanks for another great thread-idea, JohnW! You are our hero! I'm Mardi, aka Cold Turkey, aka Mc, a nickname that evolved fm my maiden name, McAllister. I'm 44 & I'm still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. So far I've tried & eliminated Rock Star, Social Worker, Legal Aid & Financial Wizard. At the time of this writing I am employed by a Sheriff's Dept in Florida. Married, two grown sons & one 15 y/o dtr; a very old but very independent cat & one high-maintainance Blue Heeler (Aus. Cattle Dog). It all keeps me fairly busy. In fact, I cannot figure out how I ever had so much time to smoke! Don't smoke, okay? It's bad for you. mc [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 8/31/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 498 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 7,475 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $1992 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 49 [B]Hrs:[/B] 20 [B]Mins:[/B] 3 [B]Seconds:[/B] 12

Hi JohnW - I, too, am semi-retired from this site but it is still precious to me because with out everyone here I would probably not have made my FINAL quit. I live in Iowa where we have had no snow and not much cold weather this year - but we still have a couple of months to go. I smoked for 60 years and quitting was almost out of the question for me but with a lot of prayers and the help of the STOP SMOKING CENTER I am still smoke-free. Thanks to all of you. Love, Nan [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/18/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 631 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 14,523 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $2397.8 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 90 [B]Hrs:[/B] 4 [B]Mins:[/B] 54 [B]Seconds:[/B] 54

Hi there, I am one of the newbies. Although I did try to quit on this site a few times before. This is the first time I am seriously getting into it and joining the rest of you in these forums. :) I am a 33 year old living in Halifax, NS, Canada. I work for the Dept of Justice and I am a newlywed (got married last August :) ) with a 2-year-old Golden Retriever who is our baby. I too enjoy going for walks, with my dog. I sometimes try to run (she really loves that) although I am not very good yet. The plan is to do more in the spring (I refuse to run in the winter) when I am a non-smoker and my lungs have healed themselves. Karen.

I love you, JohnW. You are a friend to all and much loved by everyone who comes in contact with your joyful spirit. Here's my info: I have been quit for two years, many thanks to JohnW and others. I'm 57, married, 3 cats own me, work full time for state government in Florida, I'm a volunteer tutor for people learning English. I have two grown sons, one in Mexico and one in NYC. I walk a lot too, although JohnW and I have never run into each other on any of our walks. I love to travel, which is a good thing, because I travel a lot in my job.

Hey Tresa, How is You my Friend, What most Beautiful Stats You have Tresa, Some People would almost give there right arm for stats like that, Hey Kid, Tell You what You do, See if You can get me the Mayor of Winston, Orgeon's e-mail address, Why You say? Well I'm going to E-Mail him and see if He can present to You the Key's to the City of Winston Oregon, Hey, with You being 4 1/2 years smoke free, it's sure worth a try, Don't tell me No either, Never did like that word, I think that is what got me started on this website, Some of my Friends said, No John, You can't Quit smoking after 40 years, I said, O'Yeow, Watch Me, I think I alway's do better when Someone challenges me, or backs me into a corner, Well Friends, after reading Your reply's, I would love to get on that Instant Messenger, and visit with each One of You personally, and have a talk over a cup of coffee, for nothing would make me happier, love You All, Keep up the good Quit, Smokless In Oklahoma, :)
