TURNING 50

Posted in Reasons to quit
schedule 4 Jul 2012

I am sitting at home with Flu and Pnumonia and feel sorry for myself!!! I am turning 50 this year but feel a lot older so with motivation from a young work friend I have changed my mind set on my future health, career and happiness. From today i am going to stop feeling sorry for myself and get off my butt and do something about it. My plan is to quit the smoking by the end of July, get back to the gym after many years of being lazy and most of all save to buy a house for my beautiful new wfe and i. Oh and I want to be around for a long time for my son and my beautiful new grandson. So here goes today I will call the quitline and get back to my GP tomorrow for more help and advice. Wish me luck as I wish you all on the same journey

I turned 55 this year Frestyle and I have also questioned myself for a lot of years, telling myself this year will be the year.....well this year was and I have been off the cigarettes for 6 months and to be honest i feel great, my skin is not so drawn and I know I must smell better as sometimes when I get a wiff of smokers I can't believe that I use to smell like that.

I started when I was 16, so that is alot of years. If I can stop so can you....good luck and stay positive.

Same here! Three week bout of severe bronchitis (originally diagnosed as pneumonia) finally did me in. I'm now on Day 7. I've tried NUMEROUS times to quit, but this is the first time I'[ve joined ICanQuit, the Quitl;ine AND announced it on Facebook! YOU CAN DO IT Frestyle!

How are you going? Have you quit yet. I'm Kathy and i am 263 days i think lol. You can do it. I also only used patches for about a month. The road to non smoking is worth it. Be strong and post here often i did when i was quiting. Good luck.
