I want to thank each of you that responded to my recent posts and
questions. I was starting to think this list was "dead" and was quite
disappointed at first but since then, I have received numerous
responses, lots of important information, and encouragement. I
believe they were that "reality check" that I needed and I today I
made the decision to make a serious quit effort beginning this
weekend. (The reason I am waiting until the weekend is so I can be
away from my job, routines, and buddies that are smokers). I will let
you all know how it goes. I am hoping to find that inner discipline
andd that I will be successful. I know that if I am, my quality of
life will improve immensely and I can return to the active lifestyle I
used to lead.

Again, thanks for all of your thoughts and advice. I truly appreciate it!

Carolyn
