At the beginning of it all - I thought I was involved in a horrific
nightmare...

It is now 55 months later and I'm still free.

Quitnet informed me about the 55 months or I'd have never known. Every

It has been Six wicked short years, two wicked busy months, two wicked
exciting weeks, two wicked joyous days, 10 wicked precious hours, 1 wicked
cool minute and 49 wicked awesome seconds since I smoked, by the grace of
God, much to my total astonishment and dismay. I have mentally mutilated
45388 stinky, wicked nasty, health destroying, joy stealing death
expediators, saving $7,942.96 to spend frivolously on music related items to

If my mental calculations are anywhere near, that is four years and
seven months!
That is just phenomenal. For some reason, I'd got it into my head you
were a comparatively new non-smoker.

Me, at present I'm some 155 days, that's .... five months and three
weeks?
One more week and I hit the six months mark. Wheeee!

to wake up every morning knowing that you are no longer addicted to
cigarettes.

I have been freed from tobacco for 6y 2m 3w 6d 9:45,
which means I haven't smoked 50,166 cigarettes.
That's not one puff, toke, drag, draw, hit, or large dose of

would be reset to zero, but that's just not going to happen!)

Robbster, WOW, an impressive number...I cant even count that
high...i'd need the hands and feet of a partner...or two even!! And
how often does that happen? LOL ...so you see what an achievement it
is.

Thank you!!! After what happened this morning - here - read a slice of
the note I sent to my friend frannie from over yonder:

"You will never guess what happened to me and I am not letting *Murphy*
get to me. I worked overnight and I went to Putney to do a Dell job
(early this morning.) Then I am driving back on a bucolic West Minster
road and my car breaks down. It does not just do a simple warning - it
is all of a sudden that the RPMs whiz up to 5, and the car starts
jumping like a crazed obese rabbit on steroids, and black oil dumps from
somewhere onto the road and wahh. I open my hood and I see smoke way
down below and more of that black gooey oil stuff."

"I go to retrieve my cell and no PHONE. It is still plugged in at home.
I go to a house and they let me use their phone and I call AAA and find
out that my card has expired. So I pay the expiration fee and wait 2.5
hours for a freaking tow truck. Get it towed to a dealership in Keene
and they tell me that I perhaps won't get it back today and that it
looks like the transmission is out but they do not know for sure until
they put it through the diagnostics. So I have this huge Dell box in my
back seat that needs to go out via DHL - and blah blah blah. So I had
the courtesy car bring me home and here is where I am staying awaiting
the news about the shitty car. <sigh> [Dell?]"

So I am celebrating my awesome self utterly tireless up in the hills of
southern NH...
