Introduce Yourself!

[Sunshine]

I am 73 and began smoking right out of highschool. Never had a solid quit. It would be a week here or a few days quit and then re do the process over and over. When I decided to quit, this time for good, I had read and re read Alan Carr's Easy Way over and over until I finally got it. Smoking is doing nothing for me. It is killing me slowly. Being here these past few days has helped me stay the course. In a few days I will have a week into this forever quit. Being here has helped tremendously.

It’s great to see you back @JudiMD and also that your surgery went well and that you are well on your way into your quit!

@JudiMDI am so glad the surgery went well and so happy you are here with us.

@SunshineNicely done! By my count, you have five days in. Just keep doing it; it gets easier...

[Sunshine]

Yes KEL five days in. Almost at that one week mark. Hanging on and feeling a bit of confidence that I am on my way. 

[KEL]

That is the spirit! Pretty soon you will be on the Lido deck with @Gus!

[Sunshine]

Glad all went well and happy to have you here. Stay close and you will find support here to get you off the smoking. As for myself, I started my quit over 5 years ago after a long time smoking because of a 9 day stay in the hospital with pneumonia. Look to the future as a non-smoker. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope to see you hanging out here.

Thank you so much Garry.  My sister lives in Surprise, AZ, not too far from you.  Pretty place.  Anyway, thank you for the welcome.  This time my quit will stick.  It just feels different, somehow.  Can’t explain it.  Wish I could have done it sooner but I guess God had different plans for me; and I trust Him.
