I never would've believed just five weeks ago that such a thing were even possible. Ted, you've just proved that it IS possible to do what seems impossible. Congratulations!

Kudos to Ted and all of you who continue to fight their addictions! Ted-- 30 days no cigs... wonderful!Tomorrow will be my 7th day without coffee. I also have been trying not to eat within 2-3 hours of bedtime as my doctor wants. I've been pretty good with that, not perfect. Making progress! Casey

this is such a source of frustration...I've been trying for the last 10 minutes to figure out why I am unable to increase the size of my font for this statement, and I can't for the life of me.But if I COULD, this next sentence would be like one of Steve's magic floating, animated screens, but only with lettering about 2 ft. tall. Jeez, I'm almost about to cry.I have made it one full month with out smoking a cigarette!!!!!!!!wooHOO!I NEVER would've made it without the words of support and encouragement and humor and empathy all of you have so freely offered. Thank you, thank you, thank you.I now officially pass the torch of this thread off to Ibanez (but I can promise y'all aren't rid of me yet).OK, I need to catch my breath or I really AM going to start crying. (But then, that ought to surprise VERY few of you... )thanks, again.Ted

Nicely done one and all!20 days without caffeine for me...not a single headache since 3 days after I stopped either.Between Casey, Lindsey, and myself quitting caffeine...I think Juan Valdez is going to have an inventory problem soon.Keep at it Ibanez & Milfus! Solrax...if you flip out and paste 10 000 patches all over your bod, take a picture for us at least, OK?!?I bet once Ibanez clears his first month, we get someone else signing up for the "Ted S. Fox improvement plan".

I just emailed a friend of mine to tell him I was celebrating my first month without a cigarette in "grand style...with a FINE Cuban cigar".He found absolutely ZERO humor in that statement until I assured him it was a joke. Geez, lighten up (as opposed to lighting up).
