Damn fine idea. Let's do it together... er, starting tomorrow
![]() Let's not make it a New Year's resolution, that indicates (to me at least) that the first failure is a total failure. Let's make it a goal that we'll be non-smokers by the start of next year. This is a difficult thing, we will need to be strong and help each other.

Great photo! And very wise words from Jim. I wish you both well in your journey to become tobacco-free.

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
All the best and i really like your creative photo above

Good luck to you both! I've never smoked but understand it's a difficult thing to give up. As another spur in your desire to beat the addiction - just think of the different lens you'll be able to afford with the money you save!

Congratulations on picking a new goal. Something I had learned from a doctor once was you have to reward yourself. You should figure out how much you were spending a week on cigarettes, set the money aside in another account marked "GOAL", at the end of the year you could have $3600 (based on 2 packs a day) to buy yourself something as a reward. I have never smoked but have used this method when it came to Starbucks coffee. I was drinking anywhere from 2 to 6 a day at $5 each. (I worked next door to them.)
Good luck, keep us updated, we are here for you.

Nice interpretation! Good luck!
Whenever I know someone in the process of quitting I am so thankful that I never started. Keep at it, don't let any setbacks discourage you too much, just keep trying and you'll get there!
