And that is the whole picture from that day six months ago....But I wouldn't have been able to do it without this wonderful forum and friends I have made....

I can only feel the beginners pain, the disappointments for not feeling that good as we should be.... the ugly reality when the original excitement has passed and we are almost on our own again to overcome this terrible addiction.....

But I can assure you it is worth it...there really is life after smoking...!;)

I am happy..I am living...I have had and still have a lot of pressure and curve balls ....But I want this freedom more than anything else... I want and need to make my own happiness.

Dream it.....Believe it.....achieve it ....!!

Canwes1000 Days Smoke Free

Hercu, that's great that you've been able to come this far however I'm gonna put out a challenge to you. If you succeed I'll pay you $100 USD. The challenge is beat my record for days smoke free. LOL, well done my friend. I think it's important to note that besides living 56 days longer the quality of life going forward is also so much greater than what it would have been like as a smoker.Stay strong, never surrender.

Canwes...... Thank you my friend and yes I will take the challenge and hope to never win that $100 USD because you are worth millions more as a smoke free friend.

Thank you for support and yes very nice and believe that 56 days longer will be quality days.... Thank you once again...
