Welcome to my non-smoking diary. This is day 1 and I quit 3 hours ago. Might not be much for some of you out there, but it is a great deal for me, especially as this is completely cold turkey!
This is my second sincere attempt at giving up the weed, this time I am going to make it.
Why?

cold turkey!
Mabrook, Ya Mahmood!
Take this from the son of a (former) chainsmoker. Your children will thank your for it.
I am glad that you have decided to do this and take care of yourself. My father stopped cold turkey after spending a week in Salmaniya hospital. I am so thankful that you are making choices so your family won’t have to go through that.
Mahmood, I don’t mean to be a downer, just know that I am really happy for you making this choice. Keep at it, it’s worth doing, so by definition, it won’t be easy!

PS- Frances, you’d better keep him honest!
cold turkey!
Mahmood!!
You can do it!!! I did.. Well not cigs but the chewing stuff, but you know that story.
If you need to yell at someone feel free to call.
Ciao!

So this explains the elevator and powered ramps in your house!

Good luck my Arab friend! Nearly four years since my heart attack, I have yet to shake this vile habit. Losing 50 pounds and cutting my salt intake was a breeze! Job stresses and what-not prevent me from doing what I know I must do. You are a better man than I am Gunga Din!
Keep up the good work, the Arab world needs a lot more like you.
Good Luck —

(sorry, thought you were quitting again — maybe somebody else will benefit from the link)… 🙂
No problem Jay, actually that was the very site that helped me quit in a big way. Just seeing the pictures of smokers’ lungs and amputated toes, fingers and feet directly due to smoking-related diseases was enough to push me over the edge.
