I Finally Did It

[Irishlass]

A little over six weeks ago, I started a journey that I should have embarked on many years ago. But, like so many others, I chose to put it off over and over again.
On February 7th I quit smoking. I had cut down ten years ago when my husband had a heart attack, but I never totally gave the nasty things up. I didn't smoke in my house or car............only outside or in the garage. I didn't want to smoke around my husband. As many of you know, I had a horrible case of pneumonia in January. I was never so sick in my life. I really thought I might die. While I was still recovering I saw my doctor and she ask me if I was ready to quit. I told her yes and we talked at length about my plan of attack. We decided no NTR, but I would take Wellbutrin for the first few months. This has been one of the most difficult things I've ever done, but I am doing it. I have not had one puff since Feb. 7th. My new motto is N.O.P.E.................Not One Puff Ever.

If there is anyone else here who is still puffing away, I encourage you to consider quitting. It is doable and I'm already seeing positive changes in my health. God bless anyone who decides to do this. If you decide to quit and you need someone to talk to, I'll be here for you.
