Since there isn't a February 29th, today, March 1st is the 6 month anniversary of my non-smoking life! yeah I just wanted to brag and say, "Yay Me!" tongue I can't believe it has been that long. It seems like yesterday I was counting HOURS without a cigarette. I've moved across the country, lived and fought with my mother, moved into my own place, endured horrible pain and stress, and I STILL haven't smoked! shocked That really is an accomplishment, and I'm actually proud of myself. smilewinkgrin

Leaping lizards Girl..... that is totally incredible. It is probably the hardest thing someone can do and you have done it with fibro and all else.

Huge hugs to you!!!!

Congratulations, Kelly!  We all knew you could do it.  I bet you feel a lot better, too.  Your lungs love you for it, too.  We are quite proud of your accomplishment.

I am so happy for you. You beat it. I just wish that I could do the same. I keep trying, that is all we can do. But you succeeded and that is great.

Hugs to you,

(((Kelly))) You should be proud of yourself.  You are absolutely amazing.  I have never smoked myself, but have seen others quit and try to quit.  I am very excited for you that you were able to do it.  Congrats for 6 months!!! turn

Karen Keep on trying. I've heard that each time you try your chances of being successful increase.  The fact that you keep trying is something to be proud of too. :-)

Thank y'all so much for the congrats. Sue, I don't know if I'm amazing, LOL. I'm just proud of myself for breaking yet another addiction. Now I just need to break my food addiction. I think that will be harder than kicking drugs and cigarettes!

Anyway, I love y'all and thank you for supporting me. You really are my family. yeah

Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared.
1 to 9 months
Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or shortness of breath have decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean, and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased.
