Joel, I have been free of smoke for 3 weeks, 3 days, 14 hours and everyone knows it, cuz I make it a point to tell everyone. My physical, last Thursday, was one of the best I have had in years--even though I had only been quit for not quite 3 weeks yet. My doctor commented on my wheeze being gone and my good cholestoral is very high--probably due to the carrots, celery, water, juices, salads, etc that I have been using to keep me quit. I lost 2 pounds!!! She asked for the name of the website I've been using to help me through this and I could only remember Whyquit.com. She said that she is always looking for info to give smokers/patients that want to quit. I repeat my stats whenever I tell someone I quit---it is a matter of pride to be able to say how long it has been since my last puff!!! Thanks for this place and your great posts and library with information to reinforce why I quit and why I NEVER WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER PUFF!!! There were 3 other smokers in our office and because of me and my handing out copies of things I print from Freedom, 2 of those 3 have quit and the third is getting ready to do so. Thanks to Freedom---I am able to Breathe Deep, Hug Hard, and will Live long---I WILL NOT SMOKE TODAY!!
