OT: My 2 week anniversary!!

[KryptoSpidey]

Today is 2 weeks for me since I quit smoking. I used chantix, and am still using chantix but only for another 2 weeks. Quitting was not easy at all, but now I hope to live a bit longer and enjoy my "golden years" with my family. Just wanted to share with everyone on the forum, hopefully it helps someone else make the decision to quit.

 

Pat-

Thats GREAT!! Congrats!!!

Takes a huge commitment to do this type of stuff...I stopped drinking 9 months ago and haven't looked back...Keep your focus towards moving forward with it,and don't dwell on the past.

I have hated smoking for years. I promised my wife I would quit before my son was born, then it was before he turned one, this time was because I wanted to. I never enjoyed smoking really, just a habit. Truth be told after the first five days its been easy, now I just have a sense of accomplishment that I beat the urge. Thanks for thekind words and encouragement everyone!

Good for you. I always picture a guy with a can of dark brown spray paint giving the insides of my lungs the once over every time a puff is taken. No thanks

Kudos and stay strong, Pat!

 

As a non-smoker, your chances of almost every type of serious illness decrease exponentially. (thumbs u

Congrats, my dude! Good for you! (thumbs u

 

Sadly, I started again about a month ago, after being completely smoke-free for more than three years. I'm not smoking as much as I used to (not even close), but still...

You quit smoking the other stuff too?

[JuliusSeizure]

Congratulations and good luck! You can do it.

That truly is good news Pat. I have never even taken a drag off of a cigarette so I cannot even begin to understand the amount of will power needed to quit. I would think after two weeks you are on the downward edge of the bell curve.

Congrats, but watch out for all the subliminal messages on the TV...
