78 DAYS!!

8 9 192

Just popping in to share that I have reached Day #78 in my ongoing promise to make this leg of my journey my forever quit!

Also, I am proud to announce that I have reached my goal of walking 6000 steps in one day with my ongoing neighborhood walks. I will now slowly and gradually reach for the 7000 mark. (Not bad for this former couch potato!).

Also, as an update on my health situation, yesterday was my appointment with my GI Doc who has ordered an ultrasound and lab work as follow-up on my recent gallstone episode. While he's at it, he's also giving a closer look at my recently diagnosed IBS-D and at my current mild jaundice.

Worried? Yes, a bit, but... I will not smoke over it!!

NOT ONE PUFF EVER...

NO MATTER WHAT!

Prior to my first quitting on 8/25/2019, I was a heavy smoker for over 60 years. That time, I quit due to health concerns regarding clogged arteries to my brain. Tar deposits from cigarettes were making the situation worse. I had become a prime candidate for a stroke and required surgery to clean out my left carotid artery. I have relapsed 4X since that quit, the last one being on 05.15.2022. ( At one point in all of this madness, I had been quit for 1.5 years). Then on 9/7/2021 I began my recent eight month quit before my current relapse. I am in the process of planning a return to the non-smoking life. After more than 2 weeks of smoking, wheezing and coughing and being short of breath, I have set my new quit date of June 1, 2022 as the beginning of my forever quit. I am done with this madness!! God is good.
