1 month quit

Hi all you fellow quitters!! I really can't believe that it will be 1 month tomorrow that I've been smoke free. I keep humming 76 trombones led the big parade! I was a rusted on smoker of 40+ a day for 45 years and now am a non smoker. I am quite clear in my mind that I'll never smoke again thanks to Allen Carr's "Only Way" although I am using patches for a back up.

A month off the smokes and my breathing is so much better, my sinuses are clear and I'm not nearly as stressed as I was when smoking.

This forum has helped a lot reading all your experiences and quit tips. In the first few days I was on here all the time and still visit about twice a day to catch up. NOPE is a great mantra from you all.

I never believed that I'd give the smokes away and it took me three times to finish Only Way as I got part way through and it was making so much sense that I'd put it away again for a couple of years. This time it was different and I was determined to finish it. What I'm trying to say is that you have to be ready in your mind and that everyone does it in their own way. We are all in the no smoking parade whether out in front, in the middle or a newbie like me.

Good health, wealth and happy days to everyone and keep your stories coming.
