Big Day!!!!!

I never would have thought I could make it this long when this journey started. I kinda thought I would end up caving like every other time.

WELL!!! At 11 PM my time, I will be have beern smoke free for 6 months. That is something that is very huge to me. I know that I will have memories and temptations many times in the future, but, I know down deep in myself that I will never light up a death stick again. I don't wish to undo what it took my surgeon 6 hours to accomplish. I have a new lease on my life, I refuse to break that lease for anything!!!

I only have one thing to say to old quitters, new quitters, and those just thinking about quitting. It CAN be done!!!

We CAN, and ARE kicking Nicotine's arse!!!

I know it is said a lot, but it is very true ...... IF I CAN QUIT, YOU CAN, TOO!!!!!

I send all the love in my heart to everyone that has, or will, be a part in my new life without nicotine.

Keep them away from your face.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
