Thank god I did it

Hi Everyone,
I am so glad I took the steps to give up smoking. A little over two weeks now and I am really proud of myself after 39 yrs of smoking and have found life is still out there even though I don't smoke. I was one of those people who thought I could never give up, that I would go insane and kill those around me in the process, BUT...I'm completely the opposite and I can't believe it.
Anyone out there who has just started today or thinking they can't do it, take it from me 39yrs is a long time to smoke and now at the age of 55yrs yesterday I feel as though I have achieved something major in my life and I'm sure you all can too.

Congratulations Trish, My quit date is also 1st Feb, I am very nervous as this is my 3rd attempt at quitting.

im really pleased for you trish you will feel better after a while you probably feel better already.i have been of the smokes for just over 10 weeks now after having a heart attack not that smoking was the cause but it certainly wouldn,t have helped. keep going trish and be kkind to yourself.
