THE NEWEST GAME OF TRIVIA IS POSTED AND I HAVE REACHED DAY # 168 TOTALLY SMOKE- FREE

For those who may care to play this week's game of Trivia, I submit this post to let you know that the newest game has been posted. To play, you can go directly to the new game by clicking here:  TRIVIA-GAME-FOR-02-22-2022 . (look at all the 2's in that date!)

As those who follow my general posts know, I am no longer using the patch and I have reached the point in my quit where it is time for me to wean off the nicotine gum. I will be honest here; I am feeling resistance to this next step in my progress toward being totally free of nicotine. The gum has been more of a crutch to me than I like to admit. 

While I have a  plan for eliminating use of the gum, I fail to have a quit date at this point in time. To help spurn me on, I will continue reading about the health hazards of using nicotine and will work toward setting that all important quit date. And I will remain accountable by keeping you posted on my progress in that direction.  ~Suzy

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.
