Day 17 WOW

Well here I am at day 17.  Have an extremely sore throat which I did some research on and I guess from what I am reading the tissue in my throat is regenerating which is causing the soreness. Similar to a baby cutting teeth.  I am also haveing really bad acid reflux which I had before but now it doesn't matter what I eat it is there. Guess that is normal too.

On a good note,  I am a Rodan + Fields skin care consultant and my skin has looked good since using it but now that I am not smoking I can tell it is working even better. Wrinkles that I thought would never go away are now fading and seem to be going away.  I am amazed at that.  

I am still haveing bouts with at times feeling like I am not breathing correctly or not being able to get enough air, but after doing some more reading I guess that is normal too.

Thanks to all of you for your support and comments. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Congratulations on your 17 days of freedom.  I think the things you are talking about are very temporary and you will see and feel improvement as time passes.  Stick with it and keep stacking those days!
