That's awesome.

Most people don't even stay married that long.

**timmybrown** · 03-22-2011, 05:56 AM

Growing orchids has helped me over come several bad habits and you can pat yourself on the back! Congrats! And keep up the good work!!!

**Relsenlilky** · 03-22-2011, 07:29 AM

Never got the temptation to try only, just one again!??
Still after 25 years as a non-smoker, when having a walk, and there is one guy in front of me, who is exhaling cigarette-smoke, sometimes I remember

Well done you! I think now you have to celebrate, so: you should go, and buy a good few plants!!

Smoking sucks.

**JetePlentuara** · 03-22-2011, 01:17 PM

Well done! I don't remember exactly the day I quit smoking in 1977, but it was during a hockey game between Montreal and Washington. The game was so bad and I was so fed up with smoking that I quit right then and there. I also stopped watching hockey games that day.

**JorgiOLusinio** · 03-22-2011, 01:32 PM

Well done. Keep up the good work. You can spend all the money you save on orchids.

Good job, you're lungs are thanking you.

**Qnpqbpac** · 03-22-2011, 02:09 PM

Congratulations

Keep it this way please, your body will thank you for it.

**emorbimefed** · 03-22-2011, 04:27 PM

Congrats! That is something to gloat about!

Keep it up! So do you feel any different? Better, worse, cranky, happy? Ever calculate how much money you've saved? I hope you spent it on orchids.

My mom is a retired nurse and smoked forever. You'd think folks in medicine would know better, but they'd smoke in the ER in the 60s/70s. Now COPD forced her to quit and she is chained to an oxygen enricher 24/7. She can barely climb the stairs and has next to zero stamina at the age of 64.

My dad started in boot camp- if you didn't smoke, you kept working during breaks. Gee, which would you choose. He's cut back to two or three a day for my mom's sake, but he's headed down the same path.

The best way to make your kids not smoke is to put them in a car with smokers in winter. I used to hate that. Me and my brothers fighting for window seats so we could suck fresh air from a barely open window without freezing...

**BqTyG9eS** · 03-23-2011, 12:49 AM

Well done!!! If you think what you have done so far these 3 years is good for yourself and the others around you then I guess there won't be any need to try.... you just do not smoke anymore...!! And this is a good achievement..!!!

**Soadiassy** · 03-23-2011, 04:22 AM

thanks, y'all!
overall, i bet i feel better
i've had one super ultra mega craving in that time
and many small cravings
i was surprised it was as easy as it was for me, but i had a great support system.

**onlyfun_biziness** · 03-23-2011, 04:24 AM

Congratulations! I never smoked, but my mother was a smoker...left me with some screwed up lungs and an intense sensitivity to tobacco....I'll run to get past smokers on the street...and I remember those torturous car rides that Ernie mentioned. Good work! You should be proud!

**gagagaridze** · 03-23-2011, 04:44 AM

Good for you! That is a tough habit to break!
