Smoke Free
« on: March 24, 2008, 12:23:34 AM »
I'm moving to a new city and also on a little mini-vacation.  I decided to use this time to quit smoking.  I smoked roughly a pack a day for two decades.

Last cigarette I had was Last Tue. afternoon and so far it has been pretty easy.  The first couple nights were rough, but around day four it got much easier.  I had to rewash all the clothes I brought with me as they reeked of smoke.

Now when I am near a smoker I am disgusted.  I am ashamed that I walked around this planet for 20 years smelling like that.

The REAL test is in a day or so when I get on the road again. 

Driving cross country w/o smoking will be a real challenge

Wish me luck.

I quit smoking, drinking and raising hell once. Worse 15 minutes of my life.

Good luck WMLute and Elfie. My Father was the Maintenance Manager of Roswell Park cancer research center here and at a young age when at work with him I'd see guys who had their lower jaw removed due to cancer. Many of them still had a butt in their trach hole and were still smoking. After getting kicked out of college,for the second time , I bought a pack and got sick to my stomach, never tried it again.
