five days...

Hello all!

I quit smoking about four months ago and lasted 29 days.  I started back up, and was smoking more than ever.  It has now been five days since I smoked last.  I had asthma as a child, but it hasn't bothered me in over 20 years.  I had really bad allergies this season, then got bronchitis, and got sent to the ER twice this week with early pneumonia due to a virus.  Not that smoking caused this, but I am certain that without it, it would not have gotten so bad.  Now, I can't smoke because it would be physically painful!  So really, my body is physically forcing me to quit because I can't take a deep breath until this goes away!  I have absolutely no desire to smoke, and am confident that I will be able to keep it up this time.   I can't wait to see how great my lungs feel once this pneumonia/bronchitis/asthma crap goes away! 

Hi becker!

Awesome for you! My husband and I quit smoking on September 1st. We had one slip but we both realize that one smoke will lead to another. Not only that, when I had that cigarette it reminded me of how much it s*cks! I am having the same confidence as you are. I literally couldn't stop coughing-it kept me up all night. At 42, I should be out there being active. Now I can.

Here's to us and our successes!
