Wow, 600 days without smoking. I won’t say it has all been easy but I will say that I have grown into a happy quitter and quitting is something I will NEVER regret. I strongly recommend staying on the journey for anyone who is just beginning or having issues. It gets easier and YOU get stronger, whatever damage has been done can at least be STOPPED if not reversed.

Becoming an ex is something I am incredibly proud of and I just shared on Facebook two days ago that I have been approved for lung surgery in November. Most of the people on that site, unless they were family, did not even know that I smoked….I was too ashamed to say anything about it.

Now, I can be proud of the fact that I quit!
