3 years ago I stopped smoking.
I had smoked up to 3 packs/day for 36 years from age 16 until I was 52.
Today, I'm free from nicotine and the nasty habit that goes with its ingestion. I didn't know how much I was a slave to smoking until I stopped.
I'm free to smell better.
I'm free to sit in a restaurant after a meal without having to excuse myself to go outside for 5 minutes.
I'm free to do so many other of the little things in life without the need to smoke.
Today, I'm just free. And much healthier.

that is so wonderful!!!
it feels good doesn't it? I used the Steps and HP to quit smoking 8 and a half years ago... I am still so grateful!
Four years, three months for me! I am so grateful to be free of the grips of smoking. I have watched so many people try and not make it.
I remember being with you after I quit. You could not go over 20 minutes without a fag. I mean cigarette.
Glad you made it.
I love the freedom too. On the 24th will be four months for me ODAT.
Congratulations to those who quit puffing and huffing. I can climb a couple flights of steps (12 each flight!) and breathe regular. Quit 33 years ago--while sober. Letting go of nicotine was even worse struggle than letting go of Vodka.
Peaceful breathing, all.
oct 19th is 5 years for me... ain't it great!
I just passed 4 years myself. When I quit it was so much easier than I had thought it would be. I guess my mind was in just the right place. I rarely even think of smoking now, even though Joe smokes. I am grateful to be free from it now.
Good for you! I'm sure your lungs thank you for it every day!
I am so glad you don't smoke any more dAAve. And it was so good to see you.
I'm glad that you are smoke free too. It's a nasty habit. I'm glad that I was caught smoking at age 5 and quit.
wow i can't believe it's been 3 years! i remember when you started that journey. i admire you for continuing to be a non smoker.
