5 Weeks Non Smoker

Not bragging but want to share that I'm in my 5th week of quitting smoking. It's not over yet and I'm reminded that "pride goeth before a fall". I'm on nicotine patches and they must work because I haven't even had a serious urge. I've been quiet and calm, avoiding drama, and other triggers. Thanks for your support, good people. 🥰

Keep it up. It's 38 years since I stopped smoking—one of the best things I've done. I am 81 now. When I stopped, I used special nicotine chewing gum. I paid £10 for the prescription. It seemed a lot to pay at the time but well worth it.🙂🙂🙂
