Good day to all you fabulous quitters  I just took a look and yup I am 500 days free on the 17th what a great feeling. This journey would not have been as easy without EX community. This site has been a great inspiration and release when days were tough. Thank you to each of you for your support then now and the future. 

Let my journey not fool you I did have bad cravings and wow some times I nearly caved in but wearing the patch was a great tool because if you have that on and have a ciggy you can get nicotine poisoning and that was the deterrent that ultimately got over that hard first weeks. 

I relish being able to taste food again breathe well, I do have a morning cough now and then but I can feel my lungs and body healing eveyday i'm smoke free. 

Have a great week everyone

i am a musician and biker at heart. I have a gorgeous little daughter who I treasure with all my heart, she is one of the main reasons for me stopping smoking. i want to walk her down the isle one day. My wife is a smoker which is a challenge but she supports my quit. I had a really big scare on the 2nd Jan 2017 where I stopped breathing everytime I fell asleep and had bad chest pains throughout the night, this was the time to say enough. I am getting healthy again and i am back at gym and enjoying the benefits daily of stopping smoking. Onwards and upwards.
