I AM 224 DAYS CIGARETTE-FREE (AND THE NEWEST GAME OF TRIVIA HAS BEEN POSTED)

For those of you who play Trivia, the newest game has been posted and can be directly accessed by clicking here:

TRIVIA-GAME-FOR-4-19-2022 .

BTW, there is a challenge in the game this week. Hidden in the text is the answer to the question "Is a gob more than a smidgeon?" 🤣

As you read the post, you will also find a confession of mine 🙄.

*****

As the title of this post tells you, I am now 224 days totally free from cigarettes, have therefore not smoked the 4,480 cigarettes I would have smoked if I was still a smoker, and I am edging toward my 8 months anniversary as an EX

*****

Becoming a non-smoker, a non-chewer, or a non-vaper is a process. Each stage of the process has its own challenges. But with commitment, preparation and persistence, success can be ours.

No matter what stage you may be in, I hope this brief article may be of help as you navigate your way to nicotine-freedom. 😊

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.
