Pleasant surprise...

[candu2]

First let me say that I'm not a frequent mall shopper.  When I go and spend  a few hours there every 3 or 4 months it's a treat. Made several trips yesterday from one end of the mall to the other, did a little shopping, a lot of walking and looking.  I could tell that I don't have the lungs of a 20 year old but feel like I did pretty well for a 50-something ex-smoker.

Now I'm looking forward to finding more of the non-smoking life's pleasant surprises.

Congratulations, that is a great attitude, I am really happy for you.  I, personally, hate shopping but maybe  now that I am not ALWAYS trying to find a place to sneak out and smoke, it will be a different experience for me!  I can always HOPE!  I certainly do not have the lungs of a 20 year old or even a 50 year old...I so wish I had quit earlier and been able to give myself a better chance at this point. I am really, seriously, happy for you!

You will find that you can enjoy going to the movies, spending time with family, riding in a car...the list is endless, so much more now that you are not looking for a smoke break.

Best,

Ellen

You are doing great.  I have to say at 21 days I was still white nuckling it.  Stay positive, it certainly makes things easier.  Congrats on 21 days.

It will just get better and better, I promise!  You will find you are willing to go places and do things you avoided because ithey presented a possibility of not being able to smoke.

You will breathe better, and smell better and your self confidence will get a HUGE boost because you accomplished such a HUGE thing.

Keep going forward!

Congrats keep stacking the days one by one they add up-and it's like giving yourself a raise by not spending the money on cigarettes.
