Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself! I am Crystal. I live in Ohio and have been smoking for 25 years!! And i quit on August 29th, 2016. It has been very challenging but i am very dedicated to not smoking again. I am currently on the patch and the nicotine inhaler and it is working for me. My doctor allowed me to use both because i needed to quit smoking really badly due to worsening COPD. But since quitting 51 days ago i feel fabulous! Honestly had quit a couple years ago for 8 months.But this time just seems much different. I have joined a different gym this time ...one that has classes which are very important to me. I love yoga, it is relaxing and energizing to me. I especially like the hot yoga where the room is 95 degrees...this is something that i definitely could not have done while smoking! I have found that a majority of the time i just need to check my own thoughts about things because i am very good at sabotaging myself. i also have found that it makes it easeir to stay quit by focusing on helping other people to quit or stay quit and have been focusing time and energy on that. I think that is because I am a nurse in my profession and it just kind of makes it like nursing. But im not sure. I do have my moments and i guess that those last a while. Wish you could just forget that you ever smoked to begin with!
Crystal...
51 days smoke free!!!
