Trains are cool !! What scale have you got ? I got the kids ( when they were younger ) an O scale layout and have been adding to it and i Dont let them play with it,HeHeHE

Great Job! You've got it physically beat! Now just keep your mind strong. Soon you wont even miss it. Then just make sure you never ever just try out a little.

Every day is a major hurdle to get by, congratulations and Merry Christmas! Stay strong for not only yourself, but your family.

great motivation to quit is looking at your family and deciding you would like to be with them longer , dont know about chew but spitting is just plane nasty.
41 years old with emphysema I stopped smoking last year and still crave but when i look at my son I can only hope I can watch him grow up .

cold turkey is the only way all the other chemicles and cutting down juast make it harder.

I don"t know id it is the nicotine or the other chemicals in the snuff. But I have felt like S#2@ this week, achy and just not right. More aches than a 40 YO should have.

Drink lots of water to flush that crap out. Withdrawal feels bad... Maybe you picked up a touch of the flu?

This is a thomas the train set up. With the table, tracks and all the other goodies. I dont know what the size would be considered. At two he loves it.

How are things going after the Christmas stress is over?

I've been were you are Speckey, this is sage advise. I've quit more than once. First time I "lapsed" was after five months cold-turkey. Bought a can of the nastiest stuff there was and told myself just one and then I'll throw the whole can away. AND I DID!!!!!!!!! The next day I bought another can and took just one....you can figure out the rest of this story.

Stay strong, but don't kid yourself...this is going to be something that you carry the rest of your life. It's not painful or debilitating, yet you carry forever. Like an old scar that's sensitive to the touch. You forget about 99% of time but when it's hit just right you're reminded of it.

Life Saver breath mints. Wint-o-green. Buy a big bag and stash them somewhere. If it hits hard go get one and crush it up and put it under your lip...or wherever your spot was. The mint is strong enough it'll burn just a little...slightly like the real stuff. I use to buy them by the pound. Literally.

Well Speckey its time for an update !!!!!!!!!! How is that going?????
