Wellcome to the penthouse

[nsd_user663_56649]

Hi all ,I've finally arrived one year without a ciggy,and feel great had a bit of a weight problem but now going to a gym lost 9lbs in the last 4 weeks I know it's not much but I do feel better for it,for those that don't know me ,I'm nearly 59. Smoked for 40 odd years 30/40 a day,then found out I had mylomea ,a bone cancer ,no cure but treatable,I had a tumour in my right shoulder ,then they stopped me working ,disabled me off ,as if I bang my self it could turn into a tumour ,so I've got to be wraped in cotton wool a bit,I decided to give up smoking ,and was advised it could help ,so I went for it,not easy very stressfull

On top of every thing else but stuck to it with the help and support from a lot of people on here,for that I am great full ,as I've said before,it was never easy,a lot of it is in the mind ,just habit,so with a lot of determination ,and will power I went for it started with champix ,but after a few weeks felt ready to go for it ,and here we are,not even a drag have I had,and now can't stand the smell,even ,so it's steak and champagne for my dinner today as I reach this big mile stone,well steak and a beer,lol, looking forward to life ,and to year two ,good luck to you all and may you all live life to the full,
