THE JOY OF BEING SEVEN MONTHS QUIT

I have been so wrapped up in the sorrow of losing my friend Debbie that I almost totally missed the fact that:

I AM *** SEVEN *** MONTHS *** FREE *** OF *** CIGARETTES *** TODAY ***

After more than 60 years of heavy smoking -- many at more that two packs per day -- I am finally fully free of cigarettes (and an episode of vaping) for a total of seven months!

And so, I am feeling...

JOYFUL.....JOLLY.....ECSTATIC .... JUBILANT ..... FESTIVE ..... UPBEAT

And, if I were about forty-years younger, I would be doing HANDSPRINGS!!!

Thanks to all of you Exers out there who have granted me support, ancouragement and guidance since I floundered onto this website in the midst of a relapse in December, 2019.

I will always be thankful to you!

Suzy

213 days totally free of cigarettes

3.195 cigarettes not smoked

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
