Not one puff ever again!

[spicecat98]

I started my quit on 12/30/2018, reaching the tenth month mark soon. There is so much freedom in not smoking. I am not perfect yet..I always believe I am but one cigarette away from a pack. Because I have tried to quit about ten times over the years and that was my down fall, one cigarette with friends alway lead to more. This time around I realized, I cannot do that. We must keep in mind we are addicted to nicotine. So onward in my journey I go.

Thank you for your encouragement. As smokers @Hannon1 we tend to come up with many reasons to smoke. Also we ignore a lot of what is happening to our bodies. I have bad allergies, and I get sinus infections. However I was getting three a year, which was not good. Fall is bad for me because of all the goldenrod. I got a sinus infection in October. However that was the only time I was sick. So not smoking does help. The first three months are killer, you are foggy, tired, hungry, anxious..then it slowly starts going away. Stick with it..it is all good not to smoke. I came from a smoking family too. It killed them early. The were smart loving people. NOPE
