Wow!! It has been a whole month
realized - it has been an entire month since I smoked my last cigarette. I had my last on 9/4 - so here it is 10/4, and I am never lookin back. I have been waiting for a few of the things people say happen when you quit though, like a renewed sense of taste, more energy (especially this one!)... I have gotten over the post-quit cough really quickly. I am certainly enjoying a much larger lung capacity, but that may be also due to the breathing excercises I did to combat the cravings at first. They helped immensely - a tip for those yet to quit! YAY FOR ME!! Shellie |

| YEAH SHELLIE!!!!
I have a dentist appointment on the 27th so I'll be in the area. I'll take you out to lunch afterword to celebrate. WooHoo!!!!!!! |
| Good for you! |
KUDOS to you!!  |
| I really wasn't fishing - but thanks all the same!
I wish I had some profound wisdom to share with those who want to quit and are finding it difficult, but I really don't. Deep breathing exercises really do help. The first few days you really hack when you hold a particularly deep breath - but that is sort of insentive, isn't it? (I have also saved a little money.) I don't want to pull any muscles here patting myself on the back! The honest to god truth is - I was able to quit so easily because ... I am the second most stubborn person on the face of the earth. So here is proof - sometimes being stubborn is a good thing.

| It's been over 3 months now!!
Sometimes its hard to believe I ever smoked, but I sure did, for the majority of my life! I figure for about 24 years actually. Yay for me again! (trying not to strain myself patting my own back here!)

| Yah for Shellie. I'm patting you on the back (love the dancing banana? icon). You should be very proud of yourself.
I smoked for 29 years. Very sad. Don't you wish you had all the money you've spent on cigarettes? We'd be rich! |
| Yes, but think of all you can save now that you have quit! A very wise
person told me two things: (1) Put aside all the money you would have spent on cigarettes. Then in a few weeks you have a pile of money to do something special with - OR next summer you could take a really great vacation! (2) if you haven't tried the patch or gum, maybe give it a try. Some people have really great luck with them. Do follow the directions though, they are important. Be a quitter - give this wonderful gift of not smoking to yourself for the Holidays! You can do this! Shellie |
