Good job Paul!! Keep it going.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Good job P Burke!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I am very happy for you!  I do have to ask a question or two.  In your part of the world, how much is a pack of smokes?  I have never smoked.  But back in high school, I was a cashier at a big chain store out here, and cigarettes were 99 cents back in 1979.  How much are they now?  I know it is quite expensive here in Washington.  I know a lot of that is tax.  I am thinking that over here they might be $8 a pack.  But whatever the price, I am thinking that is way too much money to literally and figuratively burn up!  So I am happy for your health and pocketbook!

Congratulations!  My better half has over 45 days in of a smoke free life thanks to Chantix.  I'm really proud of her but it makes me feel even worse every time I light one up.  I've tried to quit, I actually had about three weeks of cold turkey completed when I started back up.  Because of other prescriptions I take, I'm not a candidate for Chantix.

I guess I'll just have to work harder at it.
