I wake up like any ol' morning and make the beeline straight up the stairs from my bedroom to my office to wipe my eyes and sit behind the computer and post roll. I type in the 66 days and just am taken back.....SHIT, how did I do that???  I know I have a long road ahead but I'm winning....because of KTC and all YOU guys and gals.  Damn, 67 days ago I literally couldn't quit for more than a few hours, never for an entire day.

Anyway, I guess just some 2/3 way to the Hall time of reflection.  Wow.  Just freaking wow.  The kind of life-changing wow shit.  I can hear Joe Biden whispering in my ear, "this is a big fucking deal."
You did it one day at a time brother.

Nice work AG.
Thank you - I feel pretty damn good about it.
Now if your football team was as strong as your quit you'd be golden.
Damn right, you did it one day, sometimes one hour, at a time. Proud to be quit with you today Ag.
Well done Ag. Unlike your football team, you rule. Quit with you today, as well as everyday.

Same here. I was in a rush heading out for a long day of meetings and didn't get to comment on it prior to posting but this bothers me as well. I'm gonna ask some doctors I know what their opinion is in that regard.
Agreed ----some of the damage cannot be undone; however, the body/mind is remarkable in its healing ability and its ability to find balance. We are all walking evidence of this.

There have been plenty of studies showing that formaer tobacco users risk of cancer/heart disease etc returns to that of a non user anywhere from 5 to 15 years.

Of course the benefits to health begin immediately. My attitude is this -----Hopefully, I did not do any permenant damage--If I did, at least I will die a FREE MAN! Being free is just as important as being healthy.

"Tobacco is a 'gift' that keeps on giving long after chewing or dipping has stopped," he says. "
A chilling statement -- "the gift that keeps on giving". While it may be accurate to say that cellular changes never go away. It is inaccurate to say the probability of getting cancer remains the same after quitting. Countless empircal studies in leading medical journals back the latter point.

The other point that needs considered in that blanket statement is diet/excercise. You get that "worked out" and you really tilt the odds in your favor. A book that completely changed my concept of a healthy diet is the The Enzyme Factor.

It's f'd up that during all those years of addiction I was hedging my bets as best I could w/working out and diet ... part of the reason why the nic bitch was really making me into a walking contradiction.

BTW, I'm also calling bullshit on those players using only during the season ...
