My stats:

This is to CERTIFY that:

JOHN L. HERRING

Has neither smoked nor puffed a single cigarette for: Three years, three
months,
one week, four days, 13 hours, 26 minutes and 6 seconds. This means he has
not
lit 59877 cigarettes, and has saved $8,981.70. The additional time he has
to
spend his daughters' inheritance is about: 29 weeks, 4 days, 21 hours, and
45
minutes.


For me, the hardest part of quitting, the one thing that kept me smoking
for a
lot of years, was the fear of not being able to quit, i.e. quitting for a
day or
two and then starting again.

Here's the site that got me through the first week.

Hey John,

Back at ya man

Clean and Smober for:
Three months,
two weeks
three days
15 hours
8 minutes
7 seconds
2152 ciggy's not smoked
$645.78 more for my boat
1 week, 11 hours, 20 minutes more time for my kids

My biggest thing is I can't believe how good I feel, or how bad smoking made
me feel. Were you a regular at AS3?

No, not AS3, but I was on quitnet. I went by 'Mad Doggy', which was about how I
felt. Way to go on your three months! The hard part is definitely over. Have you
stopped having smoking dreams yet? It took me a couple years of waking up in the
middle of the night *knowing* I'd just had a smoke and kicking myself in the
butt for it.

So *many* things get better! I still get an urge about every four or five
months, especially after a good meal. But the urges are much easier to get over.

Best of luck with your quit, man!
