Re: 24 hours without a cigarette
Ronda, I'm so proud of you. This must be so hard, thank goodness I didn't find it that difficult, except when I was having a Scotch, but those days are over also. Gee, what a boring life I have now....
Anyway, keep it up and the party at my house will be for your success and my birthday!! See ya Sept. 1 or thereabouts. Love, Kath

Re: 24 hours without a cigarette
Congrats Ronda! You go girl! You're much stronger than I am. For anyone that hasn't smoked, they cannot imagine how difficult this is. I'm sending you lots of white light positive energy. :bigthumbsup:

Re: 24 hours without a cigarette
 It'll get easier Ronda. The guy I fished with the other day leaned over and his cigs fell out of his pocket into the water. I told him it'd be a great time to quit. We quit fishing. Not exactly the quit I had in mind. YOU can do it. F16 |

Re: 24 hours without a cigarette
Oh My Goodness, Thanks everyone!! Almost 34 hours, and no cough this AM! I smoked 1 pack a day! Also, I told Bright to light up when we were together yesterday, so don't worry about smoking around me. I've done this before, but relapsed.Ok getting busy, coffee, shower and work today! 3 appts. Keep busy! Keep busy! Maybe I'll get this house clean tomorrow! Ed had better be a good patient driver today, or I might growl and BITE!! Only kidding, I have been pretty calm. AFTER 24 Hours!! Your blood pressure drops to a normal rate for you.
The temperature of your hands an feet increases to normal. 8 hours The carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal. The oxygen level in your blood goes up to normal. 24 hours Your chance of a heart attack goes down. 48 hours nerve endings start re-growing. Ability to smell and taste begins to improve. 2 weeks to 3 months Your circulation improves. Walking gets easier. Your lungs perform up to 30 percent better. 1 to 9 months There's less coughing, sinus congestion, tiredness, and shortness of breath. Cilia (tiny hairs) re-grow in your lungs to better handle mucous, clean your lungs, and reduce infection. 1 year after quitting Your extra risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker's 5 to 15 years Your stroke risk goes down to that of a nonsmoker. 10 years after quitting The lung cancer death rate is about half that of a person who still smokes. Your risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas goes down. 15 years after quitting Your risk of coronary heart disease is that of a nonsmoker's |

Re: 42 hours without a cigarette
Something over four years since I quit - more or less cold turkey, during a bout with the flu! Feel much better, house is clean, all my non-smoking friends are happy for me.
WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!! SWR
