This is the farthest I have ever gone without smoking and I am proud of myself!
I'm not thinking bout smoking as much today but those habit triggers are still rearing their ugly heads - go away, you aren't welcome here anymore.
I continue to feel stronger everyday and my COPD isn't bothering me so much - at least I have the lung power to do simple stuff that I didn't have 10 days ago - this alone is worth quitting.
I have always been a person that loved coffee, that was until I quit smoking - now it doesn't taste the same and I certainly don't get the enjoyment of sitting outside with a fresh cup of coffee and cigarettes while watching the wildlife. Doing without the caffeine is also good so I'm making some positive changes in my life.
I do feel like I'm beginning to gain weight. Yes I've been snacking more and on foods that just aren't good for me - it isn't that I'm hungry, just need to fill that oral fixation I guess. Beginning today that ends too.
I want to thank those few people that are posting comments, knowing someone else, strangers in fact, care, just amazes me - Thank You.

Congrats on another day! I'm still on the coffee, but I did start walking every day with the work ladies to avoid weight gain. So far, so good, I think. I might have gained just a bit, but definitely not much. If not for the walking, I'd be in trouble, though, because I do eat anything not nailed down.
I'm glad to support anyone on this journey because so many have supported me. There are lots of us doing this, and I'd be glad to add you to the list of others I have over on my blog if you would like.
You are doing great, so keep going!
Maggie, I would consider it an honor. My COPD had gotten pretty bad so my doctor has told me he does not want me participating in physical activity until he gives me a green light in 2 more months.
Smoking wrecked havoc on my health!
Thank you again.
