Staying quit

remember the elephant never forget - once you can go one (1) week without a smoke it all becomes easier - an better! i reached my eleventh year without a smoke some months ago but ima wary about being over-confident - i had a close friend who slipped up 12 years into his nonsmoking effort - so sad - but he can give up again there's no such thing as never!!!!!

Hey everyone, I haven't been on in a while and thought I should check in. I am a few days away from the 90 day mark and I am holding strong. I honestly don't think about smoking unless I am having a drink and even then, it isn't a craving for one, its just a thought like, "I used to smoke when I drank." I continue to chew pur gum and haven't used NRT since my first two weeks of quitting. I feel a...

And it’s not...

I was diagnosed of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) in 2012 at the age of 63. I had been a heavy smoker, my symptoms started out with dry cough and shortness of breath, i ended up in the hospital, on a ventilator.
