Day 5 Smokefree!!

Five days is terrific! I quit smoking about 5 years ago and it was one of the hardest things I ever did. You should be so proud of yourself! It does get easier. I am so sensitive to smoke now, it's unreal to think I ever did smoke. I can smell a smoker a mile away. You will gradually regain some of the sense of taste and smell you lost when you smoked, and that will be an "a-ha!" moment. Keep up the hard work, we know it's not easy!

Elaine, Keep it up your doing terrific! 5 days is wonderful! I keep telling myself I am going to quit, but its just not happening. I did quit pre-op per the surgeons orders, but then I started back again a couple weeks post-op. I actually smoke more now then I did before, I think the cigs are taking the place of the food I can no longer eat! Best of luck! Michelle

Congratulations,,, I know how hard it is to stop I have done it 4 times already.. The last time I went to a job that they said the Sheriff didn't want you smoking on duty. I was a Sheriff's dispatcher.. But when I got there everyone smoked but me.. But I took it in stride and stayed quit.The last time was 6 years ago and I am still smoke free. Good luck I know how hard it was to quit when others smoked around me. I will know how it feels to not eat after 11/9/04 my surgery date...

WOW Elaine!!!! Way to go girl! I know it's hard, I had a rough time...I was only able to quite 3 weeks before my surgery but I am fine, still smoke-free. Sometimes it is still hard but I'm doing alright! You can do this, keep up the good work! Danielle -11#
