About Me:
I quit on Dec 5 2008. I was thinking about making it a New Years resolution, but I decided to start it then. My thinking is that I would quit gradually but I never looked back. I still have some cravings but you know, I didn't get started smoking in one day, it'll take more than a day to quit. I smoked for nearly 7 years. IT may take another 7 years to cleanse my body of what I put in it for those 7 years. If I can do it.....anybody can!.

No word. And what does that mean? This whole thing was just a temporary passing facy? Or you're still quit? We'd like to know. No. I'D LIKE TO KNOW. So if you're still around...talk. If you blew it, talk. We'll help you get back to it.

OK, so you must think I'm outta my mind. I've somehow mixed you up with Terry (a 70 year old quitter who's "athletic and physically active and in good shape.") That's why I sent the Jack Palance video to you. I've been on this site a while trying to give support and sometimes my brain gets mixed up trying to remember so many different people. So forgive me. (Even if you did perhaps enjoy it.)

And whatever your age, you bet I wish you luck in that obstacle course. Although I question the: "The Reserve program is a good one in that a Reserve is just like a regular cop with one exception, Reserves don't get paid." This is GOOD? Seems to me you SHOULD GET PAID for putting your life on the line. Unless I'm mistaken and you're stuck behind a desk. You must be a very noble creature indeed.

So we know you're staying smoke free 'til the event. The object then becomes to stay smoke free after you success in the event. HA!

I really admire folks who smoked for decades and quit. Now those are my hero's..... Oh goodie. Since I smoked for 35 + years I guess I can count myself one of those in your book!

I figured ironhead was because of your weightlifting, but then I discovered ironheads are also motorcycles, so I grabbed that image.

Where are you running this obstacle course? And is it a mixed age group? Changing subjects rapidly, I'll never forget seeing Jack Palance doing his one armed push up.

Here's to you!

Hello D. I love your attitude! Congradulations on your quit! I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. I'm 53 and I started smoking when I was 15. I quit on July 17, 2004. I was so scared when I quit, but it was the best thing I ever did for myself. There's lots of great people to help you on this site. Stick with the winners; the ones who are positive and enthusiatic about helping you. You are welcome to check out the group "Yes You Can."

I saw your post on the New Member section - your story is amazing. It is so interesting that you picked it up so late in life, on a whim, and that you were so ready to quit you did it immediately. Thanks for sharing that. Good luck on the officer training. That is admirable...

Howdy D.

Love the way you just jumped into your quit. You make it sound easy. Thanks for joining Relapse Traps. I think your input on here is gonna be swell.

If I can help, come knock on my door. Attitude is 99% of the battle and yours seems like a winning one.

....part of your cheering section...
