Day 3 No more Nicotine in My Body

Feeling pretty excited today......knowing that this is the final day of me having nicotine in my body. 

My mind is solid on conquering this quit for good.  It's good too, because I have a surgery coming up

October 6th, and will be down for a week, and my understanding is that quitting smoking ups my chances

of healing faster.  I love the sound of that, especially because it will take 7-8 months for my knee to heal.

I feel urges, but not really too often, which is surprising for how many years I have smoked.  My most

powerful urges are after eating it seems.   

Aside from all the support my family is giving me through this, I am comforted in knowing there is the

EX Community for me to go to every day!  Thanks for being here!

I'm an active 55 year old woman, who loves hanging with my family. I have 5 children 2 of them married, and 4 grand children. They are all my whole world. UPDATE 8/21/23 Now 61 years and have 2 more grandsons to add to the crew! My hobbies are bike riding, golfing, bowling, kayaking, painting (canvas or rocks) and gardening (getting the hang of it finally) I have smoked since I was 13 yrs old, and quit one time within the last ten years for a total of 9 months. Stress took me back to smoking. My life has been stress free for the last couple of years. Divorced for 2 years now, but back together with my Ex (husband) for a year now. It's time, I'm ready, and I quit! So far it's been pretty easy, so I'm very optimistic about this being my final quit! Thanks in advance for all the support! 2023 - Update: I now have 2 more grandbabies for a total of 6 and still smoke free! They will never get to know me as a smoker!!!!!!
