TRIPLE DIGIT CLUB !!!

It's official! It's now past midnight and I am 100 days free of cigarettes! 

That makes me eligible for the TRIPLE DIGIT CLUB!

I am currently on Step Two of the patches (14 mg) and once this package is gone, I will move down to Step Three (7mg). Then, I will continue at this level for an undetermined length of time. When the time is right to discontinue patches altogether, I will know it. 

I still chew Nicorette gum as needed- rarely more than one piece per day. At some point -- when the time is right -- I will discontinue that as well. However, when this package is gone, I will move down from my current 4mg dose to the 2 mg strength.

Since I was a very heavy smoker for more than 60 years, I do not want to rush anything and fall flat on my face. I can't afford another relapse. My health is too fragile for that. 

I want to thank you supportive members of the EX for offering your encouragement as I came back from a summertime relapse as I have moved forward as a non-smoker since early September. I honestly feel like I could not have done this without you. 

thanks for your support.jpg

About the Author
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.
