Nothing to do w/the Irish

[irish4life99]

This has nothing to do with Irish sports. I just wanted to post a personal achievment. I have now been free of smoking for over a week. I know this means little to many of you out there, but for those who smoke, or have quit smoking you understand the accomplishment. Any of you looking for help, please visit this site. Has a lot of great resources and support. Kicking that ash for good.

One week, four days, 4 hours, 41 minutes and 58 seconds. 279 cigarettes not smoked, saving $55.98. Life saved: 23 hours, 15 minutes.

Want to save a life, start with your own!

I'm addicted to caffeine, which is far less addictive I imagine than cigarettes and I still can't stop drinking 7-8 diet cokes a day, so, I envy you all the more for it.

Good job, man, I know where you've been. I just finished my tenth smokeless year.

Excellent work Maison. That is very impressive. I know how hard that is because I have smokers in my family that have quit.

What is it with people and Diet Coke? I think it might be the most addicting non alcoholic beverage there is.

If I have two sodas in the same day, my teeth feel like they'll fall out. I get a little crazy from 6AM to 10 AM with coffee, though.

Thanks everyone. Feeling great! Was actually able to play basketball tonight without having to stop every 10 minuets to catch my breath. Also I hear ya Jiggs. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I'm a Diet Mt. Dew fan. One vice at a time for me. My excuse to drink is that the second ingredient of Mt. Dew is orange juice. Really, check it out next time you're in the store.

Aw, that Moutain Dew stuff is like liquid crack. My dad works with a guy that drinks three every morning to start his day. Blah.

Send them the link above. I couldn't have done it with out that support group. Just tell them to start a post. Before they know it they get sucked in (pardon the pun). That's what happened w/me.

Yea, my dad quit smoking and drinking at the same time after nearly 30 years and his saviour was Pepsi. He refuses to drink any other type of soda. So, if drinking liquid crack or Mountain Dew is your major vice, you're doing pretty good.
