22 Days and Counting

[SOOOSKA]

22 days ago I decided to quit smoking. So far so good, i am using the patches which seem to be taking the cravings away.

I already have lots of stress in my life so (divorce, job) I figured what better time to quit. Actually the smell of smokers now isn't the most pleasant, which is probably a good thing.

I was getting fed up with being SOB climbing stairs or just going for short walks. I can really see the difference already. I'm not using my Inhalers as much which is also agood thing.

Good for you, Susan!!!
I'm so proud of you!!!:highfive:

Nate quit smoking last Christmas, and he's almost made it a year... he says it is really hard sometimes to not have a smoke with his coffee Oh well... the physical difference is wonderful, isn't it?

He was gagging in the store the other day when someone walked by him with stale smoke in their clothes "Man, did I smell like that ?!?!"

:biggrin2:

Keep it up, you're doing great!

:highfive: WTG, SOOSKA!! I am so proud of you!

I am happy, too. We want you to be healthy and live a long, long life.

My favorite uncle is in the last stages of throat cancer, and it is so hard knowing we will be saying goodbye soon. He has been a life-long smoker. I don't want you - or anyone - to go through what he has - and your friends and loved ones don't want to go through the process of letting you go!

Keep it up! I am saying a prayer for you. ray: And if it gets tough, remember: Just take it a day - or an hour - at a time.
