I have had three major surgeries in the past year and as a result, I am still working on regarining my strength.  I have just graduated from a waker to a cane - but I have things to DO - like working in my woodland garden at the very back of my yard,  hanging my clothes outside (I LOVe how they smell!), and cleaning  out winter debris from my flower beds, etc.  With a cane, you can't carry a rake, shovel, handtools, gardening bench....so I  got a tool.  I originally got it for yard work.

I rea;ized today that if I keep it handy, I can use it ALL the time to make my work easier.

You have been given tools here on the site to make your quit easier.  Keep them handy and learn to use them.  Don't let a smoking thought rattle around your head alone.  USE THE TOOLS in your kit!

Isn't life GRAND when we don't smoke?

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.
