The guy that was supposed to order the vaccine for us here in Canada was out getting his hair quaffed that day so looks like we're S.O.L. for a few months yet. Maybe this fall? Good news is buddy's hair looks great!

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink!

Welcome back Ray! You sound committed this time around. That's good. Keep the image and emotion of that commitment close to your heart as you begin your quit because you WILL be tested along the way but you will have a whole community and a lot of solid information on this site to help you along. Stay close as you begin and take it just one day at a time for now.

I like your analogy AceWhite! Shows you understand where you came from, what's happened to you during your transition and where you're at right now. With that understanding you can't help but end up a winner

Don't ya just hate it when this happens?

You'll likely become much smarter after the brain fog clears. I know I did and from what I hear, five thirds of people do get smarter

When quitting Amy, there's a lot of crap that's been plastered to our airways from years of smoking. That crap starts to dislodge after we quit and it takes some time for that to become completely resolved. It may just be something along these lines you're experiencing at the moment. I don't know what your health care options are but I am a firm believer that anyone who has smoked for years (if not decades) should get at the very least a chest X-ray after they quit and better yet, a CT scan. That way you know for sure what you're dealing with in terms of the general condition of your lungs. Depending on where you live, and your age etc., there may be ways to get this done at little or no cost. Worth exploring IMO.

Don't expect many here are hockey fans but most would know the name Wayne Gretsky, one of the best hockey players ever to have played the game. His inspiration, his father Walter, passed away yesterday while still living in the old family home in Brantford Ontario, Canada. A modest home in an unnoticable neighborhood and the place is stuffed full of Wayne Gretsky memorabilia! Cluttered you might say. This is where Wayne grew up playing hockey with his brothers and sister on the back yard rink each winter. Walter was not only Wayne's inspiration but was always involved in youth sports programs in Brantford his whole life. He was never too busy to give a kid his autograph or support their efforts in community sports. He was tireless up until the end in attending youth sporting events and other community youth efforts. The thing he was most proud of was that he was a Canadian! He was always hugely patriotic. Something we could always use more of. If there were more people like Walter Gretsky, the world would be a much better place, especially for kids! Rest well Walter Job well done!
