Living Healthier - Day 8

I have been smoke free for 8 days. Well, for the most part. I have to admit I had two cigarettes within an hour one day as I was extremely upset. I know, excuses, excuses. But, I haven't had any more since so, I decided to not really count those. I am already beginning to feel better. While I've never had any real sinus issues, I have been plugged up every morning for years. Not anymore! I now wake up with clear sinuses and my mouth and throat aren't parched from breathing through my mouth half the night. I find this very encouraging and look forward to whatever other changes are coming.

Now, that my daughter has been back at college for a week, I'm just starting to adjust to the quiet. For the past week, up until today, I would stick a movie in the player and then go about whatever I was doing just to have some background noise. There is no cable in this house I'm staying in and I don't have a radio so, this was the only thing I could think of to do for noise. Didn't matter what movie or how many times I'd seen it; as long as it was playing. Living alone takes some getting used to but, it's better than the alternative.

Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking. YOU WILL DO IT! I quit about 12 years ago after smoking for over 20 years.

My aunt smoked unfiltered cigarettes all the time. I never saw her without one. But when she was in her mid 50's the dr told her he didn't care if she lived or died but if she did she better stop smoking. It took a few tries but she has been smoke free for 26 years she's 83 or 84 and doing well. If she could do it I believe anyone can. Good luck
