I am 107 days quit and  in danger of throwing it all away.  I guess I am down that my surgery recovery is not going as promised, and I just found out  I am not going to be back to my normal self for quite awhile longer with swelllng in one leg which may take up to a year to resolve.  This means no yoga, no swimming - it seems like FOREVER since I have been able to do these things I love, and my friend the cigarette seems a very appealing substitution right now.

I know I shouldn't throw this all away; I do know it - but holding up right now is mightly tough.  

At least I'm blogging and not smoking yet, so guess that's a good start?

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
