A Challenge to the Newly Quit

 I found a new doctor to talk about quitting (I jettisoned mine of many years after asking for his advice for the very first time and his response was, "get some carrot and celery sticks, slap on a patch and you will be good to go")  My new doctor said something that I took as kind of a challenge., "More people in the US have quit smoking than are still smoking.  Do you think they are all better than you?"

I thus want to challenge the newly quit!  Do YOU think we who have been successful are somehow better than you?

(Hoping your answer is, "of course not" and you act accordingly to prove it!)

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.
