Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I am quiting so I can be around to see my grandkids grow up and have my great-grandkids! I am a diabetic, and undergoing tests now for heart disease. I quite smoking when I was diagnosed with COPD 8 years ago. I have been a slave to nicotine for 35 years and its time to stop! Thank You all in advance for your support. I trust God fully to deliver me from the cravings, and help me get past this without a lot of physical withdrawals!
Welcome to KTC! 35 years of nicotine is quite a lot (I did that all with copenhagen). However you will soon be feeling the freedom. By the time I got to 100 days, my cholesterol, triglycerides, and BP were back to healthy levels from not good pre-quit. A couple pointers for here:
drink lots of water / cranberry juice to wash the nicotine out of your system (takes about 3 days)
exercise (even a long walk helps)
read the good words in Hall of Fame speeches and Words of Wisdom for inspiration.
be active in your group, in Chat and quit hard!
