800 DAYS! Don't!

I can't figure out a way to join these two disparate topics - so please humor me!

I have 800 days of freedom today!  What a nice, round number.  To those just starting on this journey, my advice is to not look too far ahead.  You only have to quit one hour, one morning/afternoon/evening at a time.  I did that 800 times and look where it got me!!!

And, a warning:  don't drink alcohol this weekend (or any day) if you are quitting smoking.  It makes the voice in your head whispering, "just one won't hurt" sound reasonable.  Don't give it a chance!

Smokefree is the way to be!

I smoked until a vascular surgeon informed me of the damage I had done to myself by doing so. I quit 11 years ago, and I can swim laps virtually FOREVER now, walk most other days 40 minutes to an hour and a half. What a difference quitting has made in my life! I strive to help others find this wonderful freedom from addiction, too.
