image Hi Madhatter and welcome to Freedom. Congratulations on your first 9 of many great days to come. I was also actively addicted for years, 33 to be exact. I too wondered if it was too late. As time went by and I started learning how to live without cigarettes and my body started to become stronger, I realized it was never too late. We have no way to know if we will be attacked by some disease because of our history but we do know this.....today we can breathe, we have extra money (or something fun to show for it), we smell better, we feel better, people say we look better, and you won't catch us standing around in the horrible weather feeding an addiction that is killing us. image You are doing great and should be very proud. If you ever have a really tough day....this is my favorite....Patience
