Jim, I am so very proud. You keep it up okay? Does your wife smoke? If not, think of all the cigarette breath free kisses you get to share now for the rest of your life (which should be much longer now!).

YAY

Jim-
You're doing great! Did you know that it only takes 3 days for the physical cravings/withdrawals to go away? After that, the worst is over. So hang in there!

Just to encourage you ... hubby and I are smoke-free for a year and a half now. You can do it!!!!!

Keep up the good work:^)
