Reciprocity

Have an initial appointment next Tuesday with the Oncology Dr. that will be handling my case. Unfortuanly it will be at a Cancer Centre in another town instead of at the hospital where I live so that means more travel time there and back for each visit. I suppose beggars can't be choosers though so I will just be happy that I'm getting timely treatment. I'll see what the plan is Tuesday.

Congrats @Charmaine H 🥳 Isn't it amazing how our perception of smoking changes so dramatically once we've been quit for a number of years? When we smoked, we couldn't imaging not smoking. It seemed so important to us then yet once we've quit for some time we wonder why we ever wasted so much time & money doing something that was so unhealthy for us and commanded all out time & attention. Glad you're FREE now!!!

We can't say for sure but one reason you've been able to enjoy some of those things you mentioned doing in retirement was likely due in part at least to quitting. I know I've spent $$ travelling since I retired that otherwise would have been spent of cigs. That's just one of many things that makes quitting such a great idea!

Hi @Britt & welcome to the best quit smoking support forum there is! I truly hope you make it in your journey to quit because being quit is the best thing ever!!! It's hard in the initial stages but very doable with committment & self discipline along the way. We've all been there where you are so we have all been through what you'll be experiencing. We've all dealt with the lows points in quitting and the very high point which is being successful in achieving your goal. You're quitting for a reason; or reasons so keep those reasons in mind when you're challenged by withdrawals. Come to the site often and don't hesitate to communicate, ask questions (there's no dumb questions) or just come on here to vent when needed. We're all here to help where we can. See you around!
