Hi Diane, to be honest, my whole first year sucked. BUT, I was my own worse enemy. Like Nancy said, once you realize smoking offers nothing positive, you'll have a much easier time. I see that you're quit date is July 11? So you already have three days under your belt. That's half way through what we call hell week. The name speaks for itself.... It's not going to be easy but it is doable, IF you truly are ready to quit......

I've done it for so long now that can you believe I can't remember what made me start?

Richard all of that is normal for the first two or three months. But I promise you you will feel better soon. Think of it as a reminder for if you ever think about relapsing. You can remember how sucky these first months were so you don't have to go through them again! I used to read my posts every monthaversary just so I wouldn't forget where I came from. And let me tell you, I had awful quit stuff going on. My gums bled, my tongue hurt, I couldn't sleep for weeks, it was horrible. But reading that each month reminded me that no way did I want to go through that again! At 54 days you'll soon start seeing the great benefits instead of the bad effects. Heck you've already seen one by getting off the alprazolam

Congratulations on four years onthemark, hope you're doing well

Congratulations on a half a year quit Solo, you should be so proud of yourself

Hey @MichelleDoesntSmokeAnymore, how are you doing today?

Yes @Wayne045, the dreams were the best part about taking chantix, loved them!

Hope your results are good @reciprocity, I think no news is good news so I'm thinking the best for you Yes, we b.b.que the bacon wrapped pineapple. We use the pineapple chunks and then cut the strips of bacon into thirds and wrap each chunk of pineapple then throw it on the grill until the bacon is cooked. So freaking good! Just make sure not to overlap the bacon, that's why we cut into thirds, no one likes raw bacon

@Linda Thomas, thank you. Yes, my asthma has been so bad all year that I thought the worst and was expecting him to tell me that I needed a CT scan because of masses so what a relief to hear that there was no masses. I do have COPD too which was expected also.

Have you ever tried bacon wrapped pineapple? It's SOOOO good! I just got back from pulmonoligist and was happy to hear that there are no masses in my lungs! I was so worried, I waited until the last minute to have my chest xray because I didn't want to worry for six weeks! I do have some fibrosis and a small infection that he's treating with antibiotics. Apparently they have seven patients who all clean houses for a living that have fibrosis also. So owning my cleaning business and breathing those chemicals for 20 years did more harm than the smoking did
