500 days strong

Day 500 smoke free! I had my first cigarette at age 12. I’m 45 now. It can be done. I believe a smoker has to be mentally and physically disgusted by one more drag of a smoke to quit completely. I also would get winded just talking to somebody .today the shortness of breath is 80 percent better. No weasing and feeling like a truck has been lifted off my chest.quite possibly I saved myself to be able to walk my daughters down the aisle one day. I also quit alcohol 500 days ago as well . I couldn’t quit with out giving them both up.

Your love for your daughter is heart warming. She is indeed a lucky girl. She is young still and may never know what you have accomplished like we do. Your strength and determination are truly inspiring.

Can't agree more. U rightly said that a smoker need to be really fed up to drag one more puff to be able to quit . I am nnow 140 day smoke free and have been there at the highest point of frustration physically and mentally after smoking cigarette for years.
