Soooo...I have now completed my first week of no smoking, so I know I am over the chemical addiction, the mental addiction still hits after dinner but not during the day at all so I feel good about my first attempt at quiting in lets call it 27 yrs:eek: I think I am going to make it because I really want to quit for no other reason than I have had enough.
so this raises the question, what the heck to do with the $200 a month I am not turning into smoke:rolleyes:
whats a good "APPRECIATING" asset I can divert this money towards, (I need NO MORE TOYS!!!! got too many now....... can't really think of any thing I want. so I need some ideas on a good investment other than my ROTH

So. never mind.

Congratulations, and even if you don’t make it every day you don’t smoke is good. In my 20 year career as a smoker I have quit several times, anywhere from 1 month to one year each time. For me it’s like sex, I can only go without it for so long.:)

The wife says stay with it, glad to read it.
Your body, (heart and lungs) is healing already.
Lung cancer patients are at an alarming "census" in her hospital.
Are you using nik-o-fit or any assistant products.
She wants to send some to RD, with a hot load of Vallium.
