I stopped smoking on Jan. 20, 2000 and won't pick up another cigarette this year. Who will join me?

If I pick up another cigarette this year it will only be to crush it between my cold fingers.

It's day #5 for those who quit at midnight of the new year...Hell Week just about over...and if they can STAY QUIT, the quittime will rack up until it's just a date in your head, like:

10-27-99

Happy New Year my wonderful fellow quitters! My resolve to never smoke again is still firm. The rewards of not smoking are so much greater than smoking and it just gets better as time goes by. Hang in there all you new quitters. One day at a time.

Which Battle is Easier? The battle to quit smoking today, or the battle to save a diseased or dying body tomorrow.
