Quit Smoking Update

Well the University of TN stop smoking study didnt work out. Not because I didn't try but because i was disqualified, for high blood pressure, not because i have high blood pressure, because i do not, but because the idiot that was trying to take mine didnt quite know what she was doing, so she got several false readings, but that is another story. Anyway so on my anniversary Feb 14th I smoked my last cigarette. I guess I am doing pretty well so far, none of those withdrawls you hear about. I havent killed anyone or even cussed anyone out. I actually feel better in the morning, I dont cough anymore and i dont have to blow my nose for an hour after i wake up. I can finish my entire Curves workout with out feeling like i am going to fall out.I can smell things really well now(people who smoke stink, literally) somebody told me I smell good the other day, like several times, somebody i dont even know, I was thinking to myself, hmm all my life i have spent big money on fine perfumes, and only now has anybody every been so adiment to let me know how great I smell, must be the lack of cigarette smoke reaking from me.
The best part is between me and my husband, who also quit, we are saving roughly 9 dollars a day!! That is 270 dollars a month!! Thats almost a new car. Which I need right now, a lost worse than i need a cigarette. Honestly though to all of you smokers who want to quit but think you cant or have some anxiety about it, here's what i say. Go for it! It really isnt that hard, after the first 3 days it is so much easier, and if you REALLY want to quit, you can do it. Believe me I was a SMOKER, truly. If I can quit, anybody can! And I am quiting! Wish me luck.
