86 Days Smoke Free
Posted in Staying quit

By ValGB
I'm 57 and I have smoked for over 40 years...never thought I could ever quit, but, here I am on day 86.
I tried the patch on and off for a few weeks and it was just not working for me. The patch kept falling off and it was just a daily reminder of the trials of quitting.
I got mad at myself one day and said -- no more.
I've been walking 2 to 3 miles a day for the past month and have lost about 13 lbs. If I can do it, anyone can.

Congratulations! And thank you so much for sharing. I'm so glad to see success stories of longtime smokers, being one myself.
