Quit before I got married. Fiance told me "no way would I marry a smoker," and I was smitten.

Marlboro Reds. I smoked all throughout high school and college before that. Was highly addicted. Had to go for a smoke break between classes.
It's been 10+ years since quitting. Cold turkey. Don't want it, don't want to smell it, won't eat at a restaurant that allows smoking. Fortunately (sorry smokers) in GA, all restaurants are smoke-free now. I like it that way. Can enjoy food better.
BUT, I have a completely different problem that is probably killing me - I'm addicted to sugar and carbs. Highly. Wake up craving it. 40+ pounds overweight. Hate every minute of it. No matter how hard I try, I absolutely cannot stop eating the "white, starchy" stuff. So, the cigarettes may not kill me now, but food might. Sad.

:o)
I was married at 21, been happily married for 18 years now.
Have 2 teens, 16 and 13. Love my soul mate!
I am not a smoker, never have been
    TO YOU!!! GOOD LUCK!!! I'm sure this is a decision you will LIVE TO NOT REGRET! I'll be thinking about ya and praying for ya!!! Way to go!!!  THREE CHEERS TO QUITTERS!!!
Smoker
Is it okay to email you? Maybe we can help each other. This is harder than I thought it would be. I'm doing the cold turkey bit, as I was advised to do so.
Grrrrr.....what's that old saying about biting 10-penny nails? I could do it, I tell ya! And, my brother told me all he wanted to do was sleep, sleep, sleep when he quit and I cannot sleep to save my life. I know that doesn't make sense, as nicotine is a stimulant.......just need someone to talk to during these rough days, I guess.
Former smoker
I quit a few years ago. I won't lie, it was hard, but the wonderful feeling of becoming a nonsmoker is worth it. It made me feel so good about myself and was the best thing I've ever done for. At the time my son was a preteenager and I wanted to be an example for him. There are more tools/groups available now than when I quit. I contacted the Cancer Society, Lung Associatian and had them send me literature to refer to and reinforce my goal when I was feeling weak. I also used the gum which helped. The first time I quit unsuccessfully I was using the gum incorrectly, and really wasn't that motivated anyway. I like our local nonsmoking phrase, "Never quit quitting." Like myself, it takes some people more than one try at quitting, but that doesn't mean you have to give up or be too hard on yoursef. Eventually you will succeed.
Was a smoker, but....
I quit because I am pregnant. I do think I will not go back to smoking after the baby is born though.
Ha! I had a 2 yo smoker last night too..LOL
This doc dictated
This 52-year-old male with a 50-year smoking history. Okay, I thought he was saying 15, I listened over and over, I had someone else listen too and he was saying 50! I guess dude started puffing at 2 years of age! 
OK, if you'll admit to it. Are you a smoker? sm
 ................and if you quit, how did you do it?
I quit once for 3 years, but then started again. (Quit cold turkey when I did)
DH will be putting baby back ribs in the smoker,
grandma's potato salad, corn on the bbq, and MARGARITA'S!!
I quit two months ago. I tried to quit for over a year, but I just had to be ready.
I tried the patch, NRT gum, Zyban, everything. One morning, I woke up and just quit cold turkey. There are some good online support groups out there that can help you when you're ready.
But why marry?
Why not just live with the guy???
Would you NOT marry someone because of his last name?
I heard this on a local radio station...something like 30-something% of women polled said they would not or had not married someone that they truly loved because of his last name, so my question is...would any of you NOT marry someone just because you didn't like his last name?
I, for one, don't think I would let that stop me from marrying someone I loved and really wanted to marry. However, I am already married and don't mind my honey's last name at all! 
Why does she want to marry him?
Okay, maybe he is blinded by love, blah blah blah, but why would she want to marry him if she loves another girl too? This is insane. You have got a real problem on your hands. Yes, it is his life, but when she is accusing you and your husband of these sort of cazy things - that is when it becomes your life and you need to get involved, not butt out! I know you love your son but you need to have a major heart to heart (alone). I would not subject myself to her in any way, shape or form. He can love her and marry her or whatever and you can still love your son and have a one on one relationship without being subject to this lunatic. She may need to be admitted somewhere!
Would you rather he marry a man? There is a
time where we just have to let our children be who they want to be and live their own lives. I am sure he has thought about this so if it is a mistake, let him make it. It might not be and they might be very happy together. It could be worse and even had he chosen a man...my initial comment...it is still his choice. He is the one that has to live with them so just love your son and do not worry. Be there for him should he ever need you
Why did you marry this guy?
He did not get to be 500 pounds overnight. Maybe if he got up to make his own breakfast and actually went to work, he wouldn't be 500 pounds. I hate to sound judgmental, but my first thought about someone that morbidly obese is that they have some severe mental issues. It is absolutely ridiculous that he is draining the system and you being on disability. I would get out and get out fast if I were you. I would not keep a bite of food in the house and I would refuse to drive him anywhere. YOU need to go on a "diet" and lose 500 pounds! I think you could probably do it overnight.
Marry a doctor...
I absolute would not not marry someone because of their last name!
I would keep my own last name as I plan to do whether I like his or not.
I wouldn't marry someone with the last
xvx
So why did she marry him, cause she's dumb, or it
was a coverup.
Same as saying"who should I marry?" Who

My husband said he knew he would marry me sm
even before I met him. We have been together since high school - 20 years!
I doubt that. She was dumb enough to marry him.
You can always say, "No, thank you."
IMO, a good and reputable accountant (along with many others) will tell you when their services are not necessary, especially if you ask. It's just good business practice. I never hurts to ask.
ALSO IF THEY WERE GOING TO QUIT SE, THEY WOULD QUIT ADVERTISING TO HIRE SE
And I have seen a new ad in the magazine Advance that has a sign on bonus for SE's, maybe just better pay, let's think positive!!

"no boogers"
The doc dictates, "no boogers, fevers or chills"... what would you replace "boogers" with, as I do not seem to be able to find that word in any medical dictionary...I though nasal discharge...
Docs...aaahhhh!!!
to "no message"
Do you do MT and ME? I am just doing MT right now but am considering trying ASR. How does that work? Can you do BOTH or just pick 1??? If you can do both, do the reports come "mixed". Meaning maybe 2 MT jobs then 3 ASR then an MT, ASR, MT, ASR, etc. etc. Or do you get all ASR until it is caught up and then MT or the reverse depending on how pools are set up. I am a little clueless and need some input. Thanks :-)
wish I knew where to go to meet, date and marry a man with a lot of money!!!

Tax guy told me to hold 30%. After first year when got idea what I would be making, he told me
:P
And all Joy said was "No" on the inside of her post just as did OMT.
I'm not "no whining" that is a different poster ..
and I have quite a life! Bet I make more than you, as well!!!
Lots going on for me!! I'm not complaining about anything in my life!
Losers are the ones on here who whine about how bad their jobs are, or no work, or low pay, or how people treat them, or how companies treat them, or how bad they've got it ... now THOSE are losers. Willing to whine but nothing more!!!!
:) Does that irritate you?! LMAO
LOL I have no idea who "no whining" is but
see, we sound the similar because we have a similar problem -- sick of YOU.
Ya see, all of you whiners --are just the same. Every single one of ya. MQ cheated you. MQ STILL cheats you. MQ won't change. MQ IS changing. MQ took your money. MQ mailed you check. MQ doesn't give you any work. MQ doesn't, MQ does, MQ doesn't, MQ does.
All sounds the same to us. We're sick of you.
What's embarassing is the fact that you THINK you are really MTs! HOW FUNNY!!! Let me tell you something: Real MTs take pride in their work and control of their professional lives. They give all for companies that treat them well and they leave companies that don't. They don't stand for it.
I am not "no whining". I am a completely different person, have no idea who he/she is, don't really care. I'm just tired of hearing you complain over what you can change. It's petty, cheap, childish, self-centered, and downright unprofessional.
I've made over $200 today with MQ. How about you? Have you made any money today? NO? Hmmmm, wonder why!?!?!?!!!!!
Please take her to a "No-Kill" Shelter!
Otherwise, the animals are usually put down after only a week and 1 week really isn't long enough to get the dog adopted. So Please only bring the dog to a "no-kill" shelter!
I think I would just note "no gifts please".
Nor would I ever suggest only money be given.
"No history of TB exposure"? nm

p.s. to "no, it wasn't aimed...
I re-read my posts "A Matter of Pride" and "Shades of," looking for all the nasty mud-slinging & dagger-throwing I'm being accused of, & I'm simply not seeing it. I still think both posts are completely benign. There was never any mud-slinging intended on my part & for the life of me I can't figure out why Personal Choice got so upset, other than defensiveness/projection. I am still sorry you feel your thread got wrecked, but I'm not sorry I responded in a measured way to Personal Choice. All I was doing was making some calm observations, & I think it's ironic that this kind of response to my thoughts is why I stayed away from the boards for a long time.
I especially like the part about "no longer uses (sm)
international contractors."
Drew Lachey is my future brother in law, that is, after Nick and I marry!
Is he drop-dead gorgeous or what? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Yes, a gay love story about men who also marry women and have children and betray them. HOW sm
is that a GOOD THING???????????????? Good grief! Oh, bad bad prejudiced society MADE them get married and have families to hide their true love for each other. BALONEY. If you want to be gay, then be gay. Just don't give me all this angst. Not when children are involved. I saw the movie. Phooey.
Good job! Chose the right man to marry, common goals. KUDOS!
!
when you marry a man with children, they are part of the package. You learn to deal with it.

OMT said, "No" on the inside of post message.
so "no whining" - still no SELF CONTROL, huh? The MQ draws you like a
to blood------------
you are the one pathetic. Those of us who are trying to figure out how to get out of the muck MQ put us in, come here to share things and hopefully come out of this disaster in one piece.
Like others have said - -0 - - - stay away.
Don't click on things MQ.
Don't YOU get it? We don't need your attacks. We don't need your smart butt remarks. If you don't have anything constructive to post to those of us in a bit of a mess, then don't say anything and move on.
Otherwise we are going to think you are MQ management, and we wouldn't want to think they would stoop that low.
That is hysterical. When I say flames I mean "no mean posts to me." It's just a saying. nm
