This is so dumb. I have quit smoking. I have been a smoker for about 30 yrs. whenever it comes up that I've quit, people say things like "it's about time" or "good for you!" Or "that's great!" (Here's the dumb part) I want people to do cartwheels! Do they not understand that that is HUGE? Well, I know they do, really I do, but I want the sky to open up and drop balloons and confetti... all over the place.

And doves and unicorns, too

_Amen!

_{I am on day 6 of quitting a 23 year 2 pack a day smoking habit. I agree with you. This is HUGE!}

_{I am super proud of you. Quitting smoking is making the pre-op liquid diet look like a walk in the park.}

How about my leprechaun rides in on his unicorn carrying a pot 'o gold!

Seriously, the very best of congrats to you! My mother smoked for over 50 years and it eventually killed her. So to you I say, that is one of the hardest accomplishment one can do and guess What? YOU DID IT!

Wishing you the very best that life has to offer. You are an awesome person!

2. new clothing allowance

You don't even know how much that leprechaun ride means to me! Thanks for the encouragement and really scary statement about inevitable death! It's good to hear ( I'm sorry about your mom, though )

Be proud and celebrate everyday. I was not trying to scare you, truly I was not, its just a fact with my mom.

Are you still pre op?

Thanks for sharing the imaginary friends! I am not scared at all. It's facts!!

I am indeed preop. That will change next Tuesday!

How about you?

congrats on quitting smoking. it is a really huge deal. (i picture that little band singing I just want to celebrate another day of quitting!) ive never been a smoker myself but i wish my stepfather and mom would quit.

My stepdad had bladder cancer from smoking back in 2006 and had to have his bladder removed (now wears a bag.) you think that would encourage him to quit but no. believe it or not the man still smokes 7 packs of marlboro a day!

Not even joking. i once timed him and he light up a cig every 3 mins.

congrats again! stay strong!
