fresh air forever

Hi I am a former smoker and I was smoking 100 cigarettes per day. When I was 36 years old my doctor told me that if I continued to smoke I would not reach the age of 40 and that frightened me! So I went to the chemist and bought a pack of 4mg nicorette gum and I rang the quitline daily for the next 2 weeks.the first few weeks were hard but I perservered and over the next few months It got easier I am now 50 years old and my life is awesome .I jog each morning ,do weight training I have agreat social life My message to people trying to quit is simply keep at it persevere ,it gets easier with time.And help and support is available for anyone wih a sincere desire ,
Thank you.

Well done Stewart. Also a runner and am loving it. Gave up 6 months ago and I find running gives me more motivation than I've ever had in my life. Nothing like getting up at 5am, listening to some tunes on the mobile and hitting the pavement. 😃

Well done stewart, your story is inspirational. There are so many good things for us all without smoking.
