TOOTHPICKS AND THE URGE TO BREATHE AGAIN..
plus food actually has taste..
just be carefull..
I stood next to a lady who had smoked a cig before coming into the bank..
I cringe when I think about how many times I must have smelled like an ashtray..
Looked good:0074 ...just smelled like shit..:nono:
Funny you should say this. last night my son & I were walking into the grocery store, couple in front of us just reeked of smoke. My son says "What's that aweful smell" guy turned around quick as he flick his lit butt.....
"That's cigarette smoke Trev"......Can't believe I worked in that in the bar biz for over 20 years...
Yup, most noticable changes to me:
- my sense of smell has improved a hellava lot.
- the taste of food is much better
- I can take a HUGE deep breath that I couldn't do before without coughing.
- I no longer cough all the time.
- I gained about 35 pounds that I am gradually taking off now with a lot of work.
- I saved over $6000 in the 19 months since not buying 2 packs a day.
I've already gone thru a bottle of Febreze just on clothes from my closet! How come nobody told me how bad I must've smelled??
I've always admired people who take on the challenge of something like this and especially when they find success, keep it up :0074
Close call last night. Had 2 large Belvederes on the rocks and 2 glasses of pinot noir with a very good steak dinner. I cant beleive I didnt smoke!!

then I must have a new habit. I have just completed Day 21 smoke-free after 40 years of smoking. I've lost 25 pounds since September. No longer on Lipitor; HDL at 61!
I guess I'll be healthier for the next 50 years than I was for the last 50. :shrug:
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers! Little green boxes help too!
