I am so sorry I'm late..... Here is my meter and my first post to AS3

I have been quit for 10 Years, 5 Days, 5 hours, 19 minutes and 20 seconds (3,658 days). I have saved $16,478.45 (need to adjust carton price) by not smoking 109,746 cigarettes. I have saved 1 Year, 2 Weeks, 1 Day, 1 hour and 30 minutes of my life. My Quit Date: 8/6/2007 12:45 PM

I've poked around this group some. Reading the posts has helped.
I've been smoking 1-2 packs a day for 25 years.
Quit for four days once with the patch.
Got down to 4-5 a day with Welbutrin once.
Started taking Chantix about a month ago.
After one week, I was under a pack a day.
After two weeks, I was around 10-15 a day.
At the two week mark I could tell it was all mental.
I spent that third week at around 4,5 or 6 a day.
This Monday morning I did my usual "let's see how long I can postpone
the first one."
Next thing I knew I was 4 hours without a cig.
I hadn't been that long awake without a cigarette in probably 10
years.
I didn't want to lose those four hours.
So, I'm still postponing.
What about 80 something hours later.
I kept carrying around my third of a pack 'till this morning.
I left it at home today.
Pretty amazing...
I'm not telling anyone 'till I get past that 4th day.
I just can't believe this isn't just a tease.

I will add, my Mom (hopefully still on the quitlist) was admitted to the hospital unable to breath one morning. On the way to visit her, I stopped at my Dr and got a prescription for Chantix. When I got to her room she was on oxygen and had just taken her first dose. We quit about 9 days apart. (She is 8/15/07). She never came off oxygen and passed in 2012. I know she sees that she saved my life. I just got back from the Smokies where I hiked 25 miles and picked up my 100 mile pin. May not mean much to you crossfit freaks, but it means the world to me. I couldn't climb a flight of stairs once upon a time.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Great milestone, and great first post. Nicotine addiction is like an
evil curse. I'm glad you are here.

I managed to get out of bed and kike to my kitchen for a cup of coffee a
while ago. I admire you marathon hikers! One of these days I'll have
to really get out and start walking again.

DAVID!!!
Congratulations, old friend! It's SO nice to see this.
I have this laptop PC, upstairs, and a desktop PC, downstairs-- which gets
the most use, but for some reason my newsgroup settings are screwed and I
can't access AS3 on it.
I am rarely up here, except to use Quicken to write checks and pay bills, so
I don't check in here to the newsgroup very often.
Today I did, and I see this fine news awaiting me. I'm happy for you, and
pleased to count you among the scant handful of old AS3 hands with whom I'm
still friendly and in touch.
(Hi, Wayne, Debbie, John, Leon, Ken, Morgan...!)

Not sure if you saw it on FACEBOOK, David, but I also transposed it to my
World's Oldest Living Boy pages.
Here's a new "Pop" story for you, by way of a gift, as I know you've been a
fan over the years.

Hang in there, old pal. Good work!
