Day six and all is well

Okay, I still get urges and they can feel pretty strong for a minute or two but then it’s gone and I’m not thinking about it.  I am taking it a $ay at a time still and celebrating every day that I put under my belt as an ex smoker.  I’m staring to feel the benefits of quitting as well, I can smell 5hings more acutely and my breathing is clearer, less congested.  I’ve been keeping active biking and walking a lot and I feel strong. It’s nice not smelling that horrible stink of smoke on me and not having to worry if I’m going to run out or when I can sneak in a smoke between meetings and traveling.  I was at a family reunion and some of them smoke, it tried to stay a way as much as possible while they were doing it and I was really proud of myself that I resisted.  

Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement it has really helped!  Let me know if I can help in turn.

miglets,

I have been smoking on and off for 40 years. I quit o che for 4 years and several times for up to a year but fell off the wagon. Otherwise I live a healthy life and value it very much. I am starting to really feel and see the effects and think it’s time I did something about it again. Really hoping I can kick it for good this time.
